take that technology and put it in some old subs...........we have the technology to send robots to mars, but we dont have a good solution for cleaning up oils pills...maybe its time for us to move to mars
Besides that, it should be an outrage that spills/leaks/losses happen all the time without remediation. The idea is that the water will deal with it but that is irresponsible. Remember when the tarballs began appearing? Well, they were questioning whether those had come from the Deepwater Horizon so that indicates the waters are constantly being poisoned. I'd heard the accepted rate is about 750,000 bbls every seven months. It took a rig to explode & people to die to expose the reality.
What a tool reporter. Blowing smoke up people's wazoos about the realistic possiblities is one thing but this won't be a Hollywood miracle to put an end to the gusher. It helps remedy somewhat but much greater work is needed to prevent the possiblity and improve the contingency actions.
actually,having considered the issue,i am slightly more optimistic than aeroflix.
if a series of battalions are deployed in priority near the coast to protect it and collection booms can accumulate the dispersed oil,the throuput increases with the oil concentration /gallon.This also means you can use sea water to wash down the soiled marshes and recycle the cleanup water.
As long as the machines are presnet in sufficient numbers,they can effectively c
Good video and good tech but I'm with aerofanatix on it. Can't do the volume. Maybe they can do it large scale and use what they separate or hydrogen tech that we know exists to run it and do it the large scale needed. Thank you for the video and thank you Costner for trying and not just sitting by.
Wishing this was the true, if you sit down and calculate the capacity of this machine you will come to realize that is would be a joke if it was not such a serious issue, The lady in the video says that the large machines can pump 200 Gal/minute. That gives 288000 gal per day , less than half of an Olympic pool. You don't have 2 B a 5th grader to realize this is ridiculous if you consider the gazillion gals of water it is dispersed in. No. I don't have a better idea but knows BS when I C it
Costners machines should be viewed as small scale prototype versions of those that will be manditory in the future. Large scale separators on tanker ships equiped with large skimming booms could cover tens of square miles per day if they were available in proper numbers. Calm waters like the Gulf are a perfect testing groung for the first generation pilot test for this technology!
What you need is large surface area barges that go down about 10 feet and take up water to the separators where it cleans the water and spits it out the back. If you had several of these, they could maybe clean the ocean in a few years! long time, but there really is no other option I've seen yet!
20 machines.... The area is vast, the oil is spread out over hundred/thousands of miles. Anything to help is good, but hold your breath on this one...
@mikegibson50 At the very end they said they could make 20 machines per month and it sounds like they have ~20 almost ready to go right now. That's 120 machines by November assuming no increase in manufacturing capacity. My worry is all the dispersants they used just hid the problem by putting the oil below the surface. Not sure if these machines can clean THAT up...
amazing .. thanks for sharing .. god bless

We're not willing to pay an extra $.05/gallon of gas to pay for safety and clean fuel R&D so we should stop pretending we care about this spill

I hope they get these out in the Gulf and working asap.
