Loowatt
Loowatt is a startup founded by Virginia Gardiner that began as her final solo project from the Innovation Design Engineering course co-run by the Royal College Of Art and Imperial College. It is a system that generates electricity and fertiliser through the breakdown of human and organic waste. The toilet uses no water, and is therefore ideal for areas that either have poor infrastructures or where you wish to control what substances enter the public water system. There are applications in both developing and wealthy nations, but currently the focus is on setting up a network of toilet blocks and processing facilities in the poor suburbs of Madagascar's capital city.
About Me
Grew up in Birmingham. Studied and worked in Bristol. Currently in London. I have a Masters in Mechanical Engineering, and worked a total of six years at Airbus (formerly British Aerospace). I ended up as a Structural Design Engineer, focussing on wing design for research and new projects. I completed the Innovation Design Engineering course, a combined MA/MSc co-run by the Royal College of Art and Imperial College in the summer of 2011. I am always on the lookout for new, interesting adventures and challenges. Please see more of my work at [login to view URL]
