How would you transport 50 million tons of hay? That is 1 to 2 MILLION trucks driving all over the USA, involving countless people, loaders and ships.
Then you have to scoop it all up again, except it is now 75 million tons of wet and oily hay. Of course it will SINK before you can scoop it up.

thanks for the vid monty, however as always the people dont push the envelope when it comes to keeping the environemt clean, not holding the politicians,companies responsible. the oil disaster is not a SPILL, millions of gallons of oil is in the water supply is going to further devastate this econony and the people still wont protest a damn thing, Again as always people still dont get it, maybe this will help "Goldman Sachs sold $250 million of BP stock before spill "
I'm going to explain this to EVERYONE on youtube if I have to. The danger is NOT the oil slick on the surface, the real danger is the TOXINS that get into the water from the oil! Do an experiment. Spill some oil in water, then mix it up with a stick for a whie, then soak all the surface oil out of the water (let it sit for a day if you want). After you've cleaned the surface oil out send a specimen of that water to a labratory for analysis! (I dare you to drink it)!
They already looked at this on CNN and they gave a bunch of reasons as to why it wont work.They had Bill Nye The Science Guy explain that it wouldnt work.Check this solution out it might actually work.
Ive been in the middle of the cleanup since day one. First, there are cheap natural byproducts already for the taking, right where the problem lies, bagasse. actually more absorbent then hay, Ive already tried both on Grand Isle. Finding a suitable absorbant has never been the problem. If the oil is on the surface, skimmers can pick it up already without having to pickup the extra weight and volume of the additional hay. When I tried the hay, it absorbed much more water then hay.
@TheGrandisleman Have they used microbes yet on the spill? It worked in the last gulf tanker spill. Iv'e been trying to contact anyone that will listen! It works. It's safe for humans and envirement. Plz reply!

One of my good friends works for the EPA. I sent this to her and she forwarded this to her bosses as an option for oil clean up. The EPA is now diligently working on the BP oil spill, hopefully this will be part of the clean up efforts once the leak is stopped!!!
@cofastgirl79 44 days ....oil spread out for miles and miles, how much oil do you really think will be cleaned up. do you have any idea how much wild life has already been destroyed.
@gronlaf DO I HAVE ANY IDEA???? I've been following daily since day 1, it doesn't hurt to try to be positive about the situation even though I know just how grave it really is. You would do better commenting and not insulting someone's intelligence.
@gronlaf yup... even if they had asolution, only a few days of it leaking is bad. oil pouring out every hour. and wut u cant see under the surface. thats going to fuck up reefs.good luck finding a solution to that. its going to eventually be all of FL too =/ impeach obama
@1123random1123 ... with everything that has happened out of this, and with all those whose fault it really is, you say, "impeach obama." i don't really understand where you are coming from with that one champ.

The gulf state governors should direct the National Guards of their states to start immediately to put as much Straw hay as possible out there. What is the worst that could happen? I bet they could even light the wheat straw on fire in the gulf once it is soaked with oil. Even northern farmers will be harvesting wheat/oats/etc in another month. The supply is GINORMOUS!!
When is this well going to be capped? This has risen to biblical proportions.
Hey it's been XX days since this disaster/crisis, you have not fixed it. It's now
the world's problem. We are taking over and going to deploy whatever means possible, whatever ideas possible and however many people required to fix it. Oh yeah and your flipping the bill in total.
Using toxic dispersant that makes the oil sink so that oil does not appear in pictures, is a retarded. It's still there along with the bs used used to break it up.
@bigpappageorgio Amen dude, this world is fucking taken over by money. Point blank period. I've known money to be the root of all evil for some time now, but this is the final draw, whoever created currency is the destroyer of this planet. The end.
The British should get the shit they did in Gulf of Mexico clean. What about the economy that verly shows sings of recovery? that will shoot the gas prices up way too high. Besides the ecologycal disater,I'm starting to think that the world is really going to end in 2012,nha I don't give a shit. Throw a match or something in there to blow it up.
The video is unscientific. It doesn't provide any evidence that hay will soak up crude oil because the demonstration doesn't use crude oil. It uses motor oil which has a very different chemical composition. He might as well have used olive oil or peanut oil.
Now, if he did a demonstration using crude oil instead, I might be convinced.
@AllStarBugler hahaha yerh thats sounds like common sense but the thing is then hundreds of thounds of scum workers wokring for the oil companys would have no job ... and we cant alow that (( sarcastic )) :P
1 second ago wet hay is combustable and when the sun shines on it, it will catch on fire internal.....once the oily hay is collected and stacked is will catch on fire within a couple of hours without any external ignition..problem not solved....
@centervilletn yess i know i dont know why they put the fire out to bee quite honest ... burning it is easier than using dispersant that doesnt do anything atall
13 minutes ago wet hay catches on fire very easy.....once it collected and stacked with the oil attached to it you are looking at a huge fire ball for anything that is collecting it....problem not solved....
Think positively. While "waiting" 4 BP 2 figure out how 2 STOP the leak, take action 2 control damages. Hay sounds better than "hair." It is more available in large quantity. So farmers get rid of their "surplus" at REASONABLE expense 2 BP (let's not get greedy, but it'll help the farmers' economy). Hire shrimpers/other commercial boatmen (at reasonable expense 2 BP) 2 "blow" the hay on oil slicks (more job/economic help). The oiled hay "washes" ashore like seaweed. Workers (jobs) "harvest" it.

Drill baby drill! Just like Sarah Palin sez!! Thanks conservative retards for electing George W. Bush and thus in turn allowing big oil to run the dept that wrote all (none) of the regulations these companies must follow. Yeah! Drill baby drill! Go and build more off shore rigs. Thats what we need!! Right conservatives? Right!?
I was extremely excited when I saw this video, I was just watching Rachel Maddow, and she had said that they are trying hay with no success, due to the fact that it is underwater. I thought this was a brilliant idea, I even thought I would load trucks up with hay and drive down from maine to help out. The oil spread is to huge and I would need a shit load of hay to do this. BP as a company is fucking retarded.
I just want to say, think about the cleanup of the hay. That would take LOTS of hay! How could they clean all of it up? There would be hay floating around in the ocean for a long time.
Just as long as its free of fertilizer though... Nitrogen in the fertilizer has already caused some areas of the ocean with scant amounts or even no oxygen. This mean organic hay would be needed which is not in huge abundance. ...and that's when bad news becomes worse. There is no organic hay to be had. Supply cannot meet today's demand. Its simply tapped out.

Its simply tapped out.
You just took the time to tell us something we already know. Two guys have a great idea for removing oil from a salad bowl. Unfortunately, the gulf is not a salad bowl and there is no effective way to spread shreded hay over a vast area.
It's a good thing this solution exists but the title of the vid says the problem is solved. There are questions though. How does one mobilize enough hay to cover an area bigger than Rhode Island? how does one rake that hay up and bring it ashore to be dumped where? Burned maybe ? I'll grant you that the demo is impressive but it still leaves behind the thinner solvent-like parts of the oil and while the hay is being mobilized, the oil is doing a lot of damage to fisheries. Stay positive though
Even if it's not, I'm sure that this is still far better than having the bulk of the oil still out there. I'm sure more treatment would have to take place though.
Perhaps the area of oil spills are often simply to large to be cleaned up by hay? Maybe it would require huge amounts of hay, which would then have to be controlled in some manner to insure that it doesn't float away. And does the hay stay on the water for long periods or sink after some time? I'm no hay expert, but I'm thinking that the solution probably has been considered and rejected before. Oil spills are no new invention.. neither is hay ;-) However; seems a great idea for limited spills.
I can't believe that there are some "thumbs down" votes for the oil spill clean up solution. It's a fantastic idea and the most simple and cost effective one. Why would anyone be opposed to the idea?
Fear GOD who hath power to cast you into HELL(Luke 12:5)! Fear God and depart from evil(Proverbs 3:7)! God is ANGRY with the wicked everyday(Psalm 7:11)! Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, there is NO OTHER WAY to be saved(John 14:6)! For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved(John 3:17)! TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND SUBMIT 2 THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST NOW! DON'T BOAST OF HAVING TOMORROW! Proverbs 27:1
dumb idea. we have a oil problem we dont need a sludge problem we can pump oil around .. try pumping sludge hay. letting sludge hay reach the shoreline so you can try and pick it up with heavy equipment is totaly stupid. pinch the pipe at its sourse and continue using the skimmer boats to collect the oil and the secondary and third layer of protecting the shoreling is the floating orange rope.. not waist time and resorses creating a bigger problem than we have
People please check out the solution for the oil spill on my page- it is environment safe, can help the oil be burn or just help adsorb (not absorb it) and can work on the large scale!
we may not be able to get every last bit of oil out of the water, but this hay idea sounds very legitimate. Everyone who has the means should gather up a boat load of hay, a boat, and hey blowers and just go out there and spray. lets not even wait for the govt, because they will take a long time, do it wrong, if they even use this method at all!
@onionofdeath as they said in jaws.. your gonna need a bigger boat.. einstein.. its a dumb idea.. sqeezing the pipe closed like a garden hose is the only real solution then use the dome to suck excess into barges. and contain the leak. till it can be fixed properly... skimmer boats have no trouble cleaning the surface. if its a managable leak..
The farmers should claim salvage rights to the crude oil...lemme see 4 million barrels plus at $80/barrel. Hmmm...carry the 8 that's nice chunk of change!

How do you clean the oily hay? Is there a containment system for the hay before you put it in the gulf or do you have to clean up the oily hay manually?
Its good that people are thinking, but the reality is, the hay idea is not going to work efficiently, skimmers and centrifuges are an efficient way to clean up this mess. They need thousands of boats out there equipped with skimmers and centrifuges harvesting the oil using skimmers and centrifuges.
The hay wont absorb sea water as fast as it will absorb fresh water because of the salt. This makes the hay even more of an advantage. grind it with a hay grinder that blows it out on the water, then rake it all up and set it on fire after it has absorbed the oil.
@everlandH8ter exactly....... cocksuckers wont use this idea because it works. this is the stupidest country on the planet....... no... they want to shoot garbage into the water or more chemicals... fuck you.
Well I'm sure thats a part of why. However, you have to keep in mind that BP has no interest in cleaning this spill in the most cost efficient and environmentally safe way. Follow the money, honey. These guys were were blowing up the phones of their stock brokers to buy into the chem companies before the bodies hit the water. This is not about saving our beaches to them, it is about "financial damage control".
@everlandH8ter The hay will work and has worked before. Just Google "hay used in 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill" and I'm sure you'll find something.
No, this isn't a new idea, but from all the replies it might as well be.
Contrary to the title of the video, the main problem (and more significant one) is stopping the oil so the problem is only half solved.. and unfortunately it is the second half.
Please don't think of us engineers so negatively. We are not businessmen nor politicians :*(
I think they won't use it because there's no scientific evidence it would work. He soaked up motor oil with hay, not crude oil. Crude has a lot messier substances in it.
The majority of the oil is underwater. Hay in fresh water is buoyant, but in salt, even more so. The amount of hay required is ridiculous. What will you do with nearly a billion pounds of wet, oil covered hay? How will you even get it out of the water?
The ocean is not a bowl of fresh water. It's a massive expanse of salt and other compound filled water. Materials act in significantly different way depending on the medium you suspend them in.
Thanks for mirroring this idea. I hope these guys are listened to by big brother. Tired of us Americans being ignored. If you are not a fictitious entity, you are not squat these days.
Great Job Montagraph. I sent the video to a buddy in the Pentagon, I know that is the last place that might help but he was the biggest big wig I know.
I think that there'd be certainly be less muck to sift through to make it safe, using this hay method . I don't know how or where to check the logistics of this but hope the powers that be see the common sense to a solution. For once. TY again, Monty. =)
That's a grand idea, i wonder if they could grind it up into a fine powder to dramatically increase the surface area of it so it can absorb more... but i have no idea if the powder floats because the hay are just basically giant floating tubes that don't let water in, but oil get's sucked into it because the chemical bonds are sticking to the "bark" of the hay.
Also wondering if this spill is going to make that deadly red algae come back with a vengeance.
Many questions come to mind, like did they use salt water, etc.
It is possibly an okay idea but would take at least, at my rough estimate from the amounts he poured of that oil and the amount of hay used... well, at least 100,000 bales of hay per day if 5000 barrels per day are leaking if it were used solely instead of the controlled burns (and no way in hell do you want to burn the hay and oil together). Might be one tool to use though.
@Diskatopia If just using hay, would take the size of the Empire State building in hay every 24 days, if 5000 barrels a day are leaking, and not more.
However, they burned off 6000-9000 in controlled burns in the last day or so.. so controlled burns far from shore are the way to go as long as possible, maybe with some hay thrown out along the front edge of the slick if it approaches the shore, if the logistics work.
@ecwlievtenant let me explain it to you like a second grader. The water they were demonstrating on was potable. Was it drinkable....in the ocean, will sea life still be able to exist or will it die off or mutate. Please think about this before you answer.
@Woofay4 let me explain it to you like a second grader. The water they were demonstrating on was potable. Was it drinkable....in the ocean, will sea life still be able to exist or will it die off or mutate. Please think about this before you answer.
@BloodPlusPwn Not all the oil rises to the surface, as they are finding out. You get globules the work their way to the sea floor. Minuscule is not good enough. It will probably lead to mutations in the future.
@OlGreyWolf58 This is sea water. It's salt water! It's not drinkable anyway. The oil is removed. There will be damage along the coast line if the oil reaches shore. It must be stopped miles out!
@sixhundredbillion1 You are not thinking as well. Fish live in the sea. How LIVABLE is it going to be? What they7 were using in the video was potable water. Was it drinkabloe. Dare to think for your self!
@lungcancercure I Thank You Very Much. You came up with an intelligent answer. Can you please give me some links that I can see these facts at ? Would love to do a rant on it. I really would.
When Money/Capitalism becomes the sole motive for scientific firms and companies, such natural and easy solutions are easily overlooked, that is because such solutions can not be patented or sold.
@maydayfire it CAN be sold. That is why those farmers are advertising the Hay. They want to sell all the hay they grow, but there is nothing wrong with that. It's called capitalism. When there is a problem, someone is motivated to think of a solution by means of monetary compensation.
For such a natural and simple solution like this, oil spill clean up companies can't sell it and you cant patent it. When Money/Capitalism becomes the sole motive for scientific firms and companies, such natural and easy solutions are easily overlooked.
Thanks for sharing - this "solution" seems so simple and no doubt the government agencies, clean up corporations and BP will be over-thinking this. I'm sure if the sea life and other various wild life that call this home, could vote, they'd be giving it two thumbs up !
whats been DONE about the oil disaster ... im hearing a lot of babble over how "clean-up" is going ... WAHTS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT ... is BP banned from drilling ? everyone is silent ... what the hell is going on ? ... has drilling been BANNED or hasnt it ? ... all reporting on what the oil is doing etc etc and taking your attention away from BP ... u all focused away from BP and politicians !
You know, i used to work on a dairy farm and used the same method simply because the straw or hay was readily available (for little oil messes in shop).
Never occurred to me this would be an excellent solution for such a depressing event. Farmers to the rescue again!
1 bale=approx $5.00 / covers approximately 10'x10' area, for the math junkies.
They want people completely dependant and taxed to the hilt period. They will not allow technology that will make energy cheap and easily available. Read Agenda 21.

thanks for the vid monty, however as always the people dont push the envelope when it comes to keeping the environemt clean, not holding the politicians,companies responsible. the oil disaster is not a SPILL, millions of gallons of oil is in the water supply is going to further devastate this econony and the people still wont protest a damn thing, Again as always people still dont get it, maybe this will help "Goldman Sachs sold $250 million of BP stock before spill "

I'm going to explain this to EVERYONE on youtube if I have to. The danger is NOT the oil slick on the surface, the real danger is the TOXINS that get into the water from the oil! Do an experiment. Spill some oil in water, then mix it up with a stick for a whie, then soak all the surface oil out of the water (let it sit for a day if you want). After you've cleaned the surface oil out send a specimen of that water to a labratory for analysis! (I dare you to drink it)!

Ive been in the middle of the cleanup since day one. First, there are cheap natural byproducts already for the taking, right where the problem lies, bagasse. actually more absorbent then hay, Ive already tried both on Grand Isle. Finding a suitable absorbant has never been the problem. If the oil is on the surface, skimmers can pick it up already without having to pickup the extra weight and volume of the additional hay. When I tried the hay, it absorbed much more water then hay.

The gulf state governors should direct the National Guards of their states to start immediately to put as much Straw hay as possible out there. What is the worst that could happen?

The video is unscientific. It doesn't provide any evidence that hay will soak up crude oil because the demonstration doesn't use crude oil. It uses motor oil which has a very different chemical composition. He might as well have used olive oil or peanut oil.

Think positively. While "waiting" 4 BP 2 figure out how 2 STOP the leak, take action 2 control damages. Hay sounds better than "hair." It is more available in large quantity. So farmers get rid of their "surplus" at REASONABLE expense 2 BP (let's not get greedy, but it'll help the farmers' economy). Hire shrimpers/other commercial boatmen (at reasonable expense 2 BP) 2 "blow" the hay on oil slicks (more job/economic help). The oiled hay "washes" ashore like seaweed. Workers (jobs) "harvest" it.

It's a good thing this solution exists but the title of the vid says the problem is solved. There are questions though. How does one mobilize enough hay to cover an area bigger than Rhode Island? how does one rake that hay up and bring it ashore to be dumped where? Burned maybe ? I'll grant you that the demo is impressive but it still leaves behind the thinner solvent-like parts of the oil and while the hay is being mobilized, the oil is doing a lot of damage to fisheries. Stay positive though

Perhaps the area of oil spills are often simply to large to be cleaned up by hay? Maybe it would require huge amounts of hay, which would then have to be controlled in some manner to insure that it doesn't float away. And does the hay stay on the water for long periods or sink after some time? I'm no hay expert, but I'm thinking that the solution probably has been considered and rejected before. Oil spills are no new invention.. neither is hay ;-) However; seems a great idea for limited spills.

The hay wont absorb sea water as fast as it will absorb fresh water because of the salt. This makes the hay even more of an advantage. grind it with a hay grinder that blows it out on the water, then rake it all up and set it on fire after it has absorbed the oil.

The majority of the oil is underwater. Hay in fresh water is buoyant, but in salt, even more so. The amount of hay required is ridiculous. What will you do with nearly a billion pounds of wet, oil covered hay? How will you even get it out of the water?
The ocean is not a bowl of fresh water. It's a massive expanse of salt and other compound filled water. Materials act in significantly different way depending on the medium you suspend them in.

That's a grand idea, i wonder if they could grind it up into a fine powder to dramatically increase the surface area of it so it can absorb more... but i have no idea if the powder floats because the hay are just basically giant floating tubes that don't let water in, but oil get's sucked into it because the chemical bonds are sticking to the "bark" of the hay.

Many questions come to mind, like did they use salt water, etc.
It is possibly an okay idea but would take at least, at my rough estimate from the amounts he poured of that oil and the amount of hay used... well, at least 100,000 bales of hay per day if 5000 barrels per day are leaking if it were used solely instead of the controlled burns (and no way in hell do you want to burn the hay and oil together). Might be one tool to use though.
Diskatopia 1 year ago
@Diskatopia If just using hay, would take the size of the Empire State building in hay every 24 days, if 5000 barrels a day are leaking, and not more.
However, they burned off 6000-9000 in controlled burns in the last day or so.. so controlled burns far from shore are the way to go as long as possible, maybe with some hay thrown out along the front edge of the slick if it approaches the shore, if the logistics work.

I think that's rather irrelevant considering the amount remaining would be miniscule at best when you take into account the ocean:oil ratio.
That said, the current oil would eventually dissipate on its own as well, but the less there is the quicker it does so.
