Idea: Modify the solar composter

The solar composter is LeMar Alexander's invention.  This is an improvement, perhaps, on that idea.

The solar composter decomposes human waste much faster than a conventional composter.  That's because the solar heat keeps the little critters warm, which they like.  It also dries out the manure faster, which allows for even faster decomposition.

So, the idea came to me to take one of his other ideas, which was to use a barrel as a composter, and to modify that into a solar composter.  The barrel would be cut in half, with the cut being lengthwise along the barrel.  It would be open at that end, and that end can be covered with a transparent plastic material that will admit the sun, but trap the heat.  It would act as your car acts when it sits in the sun.  It will be plenty hot inside.

You could add some of the touches he adds with his conventional barrel composter in order to complete the system.  I would modify it further in order to make the entire process automatic, except for the filling, which will still have to be done manually.  Just add a solar powered motor that would gently sway the barrel back and forth so as to turn the contents.  Perhaps a timer could be added to allow this motion to take place a few times each day.
