WOMBAT
Ergonomic 3d printed toilet that through coaxial rings and the principle of electrostatics contains human waste.
OVERVIEW
Design of an innovative space toilet concept for low-mass, compact toilets that reduces the current state-of-the-art toilet mass by more than half and reduces the volume by more than a quarter, also allows astronauts to urinate and defecate in both lunar gravity and microgravity.
Context
Project for NASA's Lunar Loo Challenge in collaboration with HeroX for NASA's Asrtemis 2024 mission.
