23-10-2016 Bangalore Reg.bio toilets. Sirs, I have invented a a simple toilet by using locally available matewrials and simple technology which is maintaiance-free and simple to operate.

My concept is the first one in the world. My provision patent No5079/CHE/2013 and waiting for final patent. Patent Office Chennai. Will railways consider my invention with zeal?

Will the railways respond with zeal? My invention is meant for our Railways only. With regards, - Nagaraj T V more

Following suggestion is made. I also suggest feasibility studies regarding work ability of design change of bio toilet. 1 It is suggested that bio toilet system to be connected to a storage tank which has a device directly connected and governed by speed of train .Once the speed reaches 30 kmph, the device is operated automatically and starts emptying the tank in proportion to speed . In this way it becomes combination of bio toilet and direct disposal on track. This will avoid station and the the surrounding areas from getting dirty .Toilet on distant track will dry up under weather conditions as per existing conditions. The whole system has to be automatic to avoid any lapses. more
