Abstract
A hydraulic propulsion system for disposing of human waste. The system includes a toilet having a bowl, and a base below the bowl. The base is secured to the chassis of a vehicle, or to a remote sanitation facility. The system also comprises a hydraulic flushing mechanism associated with the toilet, and a fluid receiving chamber that receives water and human waste when the flushing mechanism is actuated. The human waste is directed through a sewage ejection pipe and into a black-water tank or a municipal sewer system. The human waste propulsion system further comprises a pneumatic line. The pneumatic line is in fluid communication with the fluid receiving chamber proximate the bowl. The pneumatic line receives compressed air which is delivered when the hydraulic flushing mechanism is actuated. Additionally, the human waste propulsion system has a controller. The controller is configured to close a flush valve and then direct the compressed air into the pneumatic line when the flushing mechanism is actuated, thereby moving human waste through the fluid receiving chamber.
