To meet the composting parameters ,as described on the website that I provided a link for, this is the design I came up with. The requirements were:- Proper aeration: Solar powered wind tube(hot air flows upward is why it works and you only need to have higher heat on one side of the tube, relative to the low heat side of tube.
- Proper carbon/nitrogen ratio (just add paper plates from dishes or found sawdust or tp or other carbon material . If there is any odor you add just enough carbon and any odor will go away)
- Moisture- Need the mixture to always be 50% water wich the washlet should provide(need to add actual water not extra urine).
- Heat- provided by incoming then stored solar radiation(add mirrors for more heat or increase the ratio of solar collecting area to the compost chamber sizes)
But remember to have a thermometer and moisture indicator inside the box where you can see it (on the window side) to always be able to monitor proper functioning.
LATER ADDED: I have since chosen chemical toilets that are environmentally friendly like chlorine as an all around better option in simplicity and effectiveness as long as the chemicals kill all of the harmful bacteria, and then bury. Because just like heat kills most biological organisms there are toxic chemicals that don't occur naturally that perform the same task. And may even work better and require less energy or oversight. And chemicals are also foolproof. And are safe if you use them correctly (it's hard not to with chlorine/alcohol).
Let the chlorine evaporate before burying the waste

I can't read the captions on the drawing.
did you try clicking on the picture? If that doesn't work then tell me. and try saving it into a separate picture file
