Seems simple and cheap. Didn't hussein refuse to use this method? I know it took him two months before he did anything about the spill, but this could have slowed it down.
Why don't you just use BP's way and spray Poison on top of the oil so it clumps up and falls to the bottom then clogs up the flow of earth's most important convection currents so it cools down our plant so much we all going to be freezing our asses of so we will then need to have to increase the amount of oil we use to heat our home.
that looks good. put small tied hay bails into nets and drag them behind your boat. or slice a big hay bail, hook them then let them skim along the surface on the sides and behind the boats.
agitating the hay down into the water and oil is the problem. Just like floor dry. If you just throw it on top it won't soak up much. Looks like this is a good start though.
i gota say, its really funny how evry1's siting around and on their comps and laptops b!ch!ng on each others ideas. and yet no 1's actualy doing anything productive to help, unlike the guys in this vid who've come up with at least sum helpful solution
@G0tN0H0p3 Hey, us bitching makes people realise their mistakes, like this guy's mistake would be that we would have to devote time and money into getting all the hay removed from the golf... so go fuck urself
what all us losers need to do is unite and work to fix this together. its not just this, only because its so close to america we hear about it, theres oil being spilled all over the globe but we never hear of it.
# 1 --THESE GUYS SELL HAY # 2 HAY WONT WORK BECAUSE INSTEAD OF CLEANNING OIL WE WILL BE CLEANING A HUGE MESS OF HAY AND OIL...... THESE GUYS ARE MORONS
this is completely unfeasible and these moronic hicks have no idea how it works or what they are talking about "simulate the wave action" hahahaha idiots
@MANBATCOW your the idiot! all you fags can do is sit your fatass' on your computers and bitch and bash every idea. if you're so fucking smart why dont you think of something better? oh yeah....you're an idiot.
Here's a good idea -- STOP... DRILLING... FOR... FOSSIL... FUELS... *we wouldn't have to worry about accidents like this* We know there are alternatives. Out with the old and in with the new.
@NIKOLA TESLA could have saved us from this 100 yrs ago! please look it up, he created a wireless energy system that allowed energy to be obtained anywhere on earth! i put up info on my youtube and i demostrate a 20 ft wireless transmission to prove that the system works! we could build it right away and get off of this oil dependence, you can run cars wirelessly and never need oil again. please read tesla's "increasing human energy" it tells u real clean energy
there are many ways to clean it up but there is too much money to be made by "sister" companies of Big Oil that will be in charge of the actual clean up. they want to make more money so that means more oil must spill into our water... you know it almost makes me shamefull of being a human being.. for people to puposely do this is absolutely unforgivable.
This farmer is smarter then this damn other video i just watched. The other guy in the video was using HUMAN HAIR. What a fucking tart. Thank you Mister Farmer dude for having sense, very very good job (:
I think it should work on open waters as hay is lighter than water unless it soaked up water first, but if soaks up oil, it should stay afloat since oil and hay are both lighter than water, so it should be pushed toward shoreline.
They can always do a load of hay on the ocean to test.
I can't believe how many narrow minded people i see being so critical of this idea-and 65 dislikes!?! Do you people think someone is just sitting in a room thinking of the perfect idea that will clean up every last drop in one fell swoop! I've got news for ya-THIS STUFF IS EVERYWHERE!!!! There will be no magic wand here.No cartoon w/a lightbulb over its head.This will be a MANY tiered operation and i for one think this could be a good PART of the solution.
THE GREAT GULF CHALLENGE - Unleash power of American enterprise and ingenuity to turn back the black tide of oil fouled beaches and tortured sea life. In spirit of The Great Race, The Millennium Challenge and The Grainger Challenge, America should sponsor The Great Gulf Challenge, an international competition to clean the crude oil out of the Gulf of Mexico. Winning team gets satisfaction for helping save a vital ecosystem, will be positioned as the world’s leader in oil recovery technology.
THIS WOULD STOP THE OIL AND HOLD IT AT THE WEED AN GRASS LINE--LASSO with buoyed cable AND TOW OUT TO BURN, ETC. A common ski boat could pull a hell of a pile. Anybody out there got the balls to try? I'm in a wheelchair now or I'd do it myself. ANY MEN WITH BALLS LEFT OUT THERE???????????
Guys this is a nice idea but it will not work. It's just not feasible. The oil spill is too large and we still need to cap the actual leak. An oil spill of this magnitude would require 21,529,094,400 pounds of hay. Then you'd still have to get the oil-sodden hay out of the water which we have no way of doing. Hay can work for certain oil spills but not for one of this magnitude.
@watermelonygoodness but that "21,529,094,400 pounds of hay" would be a good start... whether it get's it all or not.. would you like to make a difference. Let's actually try something instead of people like you that just bitch. A for effort buddy. let's see your idea.
@Midgetman303 There is no possible way to remove that hay. None. I'm just letting you know that this method isn't going to be used. BP has seen it. It won't work. Why is everyone hating on me for bringing up the facts?
@watermelonygoodness But there is away.. they already have machines that run along beachs to scoop up trash etc. during Katrina.
I have seen test showing that the hay wouldn't break the surface of the water and would stay together on the surface. So when it washes to shore.. we use the same scooping machine that picks up the trash.. but to pick up hay.
That's freakin amazing...!!!! I figured there would be a natural absorbent or solvent.. for another natural substance( oil) BUT this is fantastic!!! faster, easier than I could have ever imagined. And of course another example of southern (dum hick in the sticks) ingenuity, coming up with a simple and brilliant solution that will out perform any liberal, professorial contraption of incompetence incarnate! Does Jindal know about this yet? Good Luck God Bless
I have passed this on to my Congress representative, Peter Roskam, with the request that he pass it on to those in the position to investigate it and implement it. Thank you for the idea!!
I can see that this will collect the oil, just as hair will but doesn't it sink. I would think the weight of the oil would sink it. I know it does will the hair mats they used
If Comrade Barry Soetoro would get up off of his duff and approve this, maybe we could get somewhere. Just goes to show that even country boys like this have better knowledge than Barry could hope to have.
You don't need to just dump it into the ocean, you can just stuff them into giant meshed nets and like a giant hay-filled ball, you just throw it into the ocean. That way the hay is contained for easy pick up after. At the same time, the mesh net protects the wildlife from encountering the hay.
I do not know if the meshing of fishing nets are small enough to contain hay without major leakage, but someone should look into that since there are so many fishermen who aren't using their nets.
@gregory462 It aint an option cause BP wont be able to resell the oil and pay obama for the clean up. What a worthless monkey obama is, cant see the forest beyond the trees. The oil is going to kill tourism in the sunbelt, cause health hazzards, and kill the fishing industry
@Gyro911 you got that right, Either way they need to get there shit toghether BP & the Goverment some say who cares about a few hundred birds and sea turtles and so on what about the costal people i say cant we care about both! This is a disaster...
Gulf Oil Spill: Why is everyone asking for permission to save our own land and waters? Would we ask their permission if our coast were being invaded by terrorist insurgents? I think not - we would be out there heavily armed and
ready to kick some arsch! Any private sector folk working plan and strategy? There are a bunch of us who can help 'implement'... but cannot find the folks on the web and need a start. Pls let me know
@tiffanyhbeard are you retarded? "kick some arsch!" do you think terrorists would calmly walk up your coast. you'd be dead before you even knew they were attacking, they wouldn't be at your coasts, but at your cities.
There is no simple plan or "strategy" to stop this leak therefore you cannot help implement.
The coastline protection suggested here is fantastic and at least far better than the average imbecile's suggestion.
@irvinusy We are slowly anticipating the terror to creap onto our coast here in SW FL. Only a miracle would stave this off. Many solutions, like this one, will help anyway possible. It is slowly ripping our hearts out. Yes, nothing we can do about it except implement all workable solutions to minimize impact @ grass roots level. At least some of us are going to do what we can.
@tiffanyhbeard Several bonafide solutions out there. Even ones already approved by Coast Guard and EPA but being IGNORED. If I could, I would be creating a consortium, JV and IMPLEMENT as insurgent ALL workable solutions regardless of source. People would then see relevant action that is actually working to resolve this mess. You would think one of BP’s competitors would have spearheaded something like this by now for this is an excellent PR opportunity and a bonus, save the Gulf.
@tiffanyhbeard Because I am a environmentally conscious, responsible driller. The result would be excellent reputation/PR, positive shift in public perception to support safe drilling, lessening the dependency of America on foreign oil. Our shares would skyrocket, folks would get their economies, marine life and beaches back. If wanted to could then absorb BP since they will be left in the oil wake... searching for a bailout... ie ME. ok ... maybe not go that far... lol but come on folks...
Here is an idea.. can you not put a few hundred pumps around the leak to atleast pick some of it up instead of letting it just pour into the ocean while you THINK about what to do next?
You don't know whether or not they ARE helping clean up effected water in their area. You also don't know whether or not they are able to fly to effected areas. At least they're sharing ideas and hoping the people watching who have access to these areas will use them.
Instead of commenting on his YouTube video, "take the hay to the gulf and start cleaning."
1 sq foot of oil and 1 pound of hay, for the spill that would take 1,508,109,926,400 pounds or 754,054,963 Tons @$200 a ton for hay would be $150,810,992,640 not including the price to deliver and disseminate it to the scene, then pick it up and dispose of it. Average price per ton per mile for barge is $1.80 so that would be about 200 mile round trip and the transportation costs would be $271,459,786,752. Then to dispose of hazardous waste is $10 a ton so that's another $30,162,198,520.

@ezradv You must be a Democrat? You need to remember, Republicans don't understand facts, figures or logic. Hell, home schooled idiots can't count beyond 10... 11 if the teachers a cousin!
@ezradv and this isn't even including the latest figures of debt which the US has accumulated to date : over 13 trillion USD and counting. Question is if you have this much debt now who will be paying for the cleanup using hay or any other method. Apparently not BP who just spent 50 million on an AD campaign to save face in the UK. but not a penny to refund the people who rely on coastal waters for their livelihood.
Although this method seems to work & should be used rather than doing nothing or more harm, it will likely require impractical amounts of hay (does anyone know how much is needed for 1000 gallons?)
Adria Brown's Golden Retriever has a much greater chance to be adopted. As stated in its patent description: "For spills between 100,000 and 1,000,000 gallons, somewhere on the order of between 60,000 and 600,000 cubic feet of entire corn cobs might by required"
@thumper0216 yes it will change things. if the dispersant (which make some company money) are used the oil will drop to the sea floor. then hay won't help.
@Netino78 would u drink a cup of salt water? fact is it absorbs oil and that's a hell of a lot more than what Mr "buck stops here" Obongo and the other worthless fucktards in DC are doing
@Netino78 also, it cuts the farmer off but he was about to say if you added more hay it would eventually be even cleaner. or we could just make snarky smartass comments on youtube, do NOTHING and let toxic crude oil drench our coastline and precious wetlands and kill off all the wildlife, but something as cheap as hay and the surf rake might be a better idea...duhhhhh
The massive size of the spill will take many kinds of solutions. I hope this gets tested, especially in beach and wetland areas to get the lions share of the oil out quickly. Good work guys... Hope it gets tested and considered. Make it happen!!!
@jscowler because our government controls media n for some reason, they dont want it to be that simple... rather throw chemical dispersant that they claim is "safe as dish soap"..........oh yeah i forgot that dish soap was a natural part of the oceans ecosystem...fuckin morons.
True this isn't a solution to stop the flow of oil but will help in the clean up. It would also employ farmers and boost the economy. We could use barges to blow the hay over the oil and clean up when it drifts to the beaches. Why haven't we seen this on CNN???
This is a great idea, but it isn't enough to clean up the massive oil spill which is the size of a European country. Having said that every little bit helps and they would be foolish not to try this instead of sitting around with their thumbs in their bums
@s33thr3w Isn't BP a british company? Americans did only one thing and thats ALLOW them to drill there. Not our fault THEIR line broke. Besides, EVERY single country uses oil, if the ENTIRE Earth weren't so dependent on oil, we wouldn't be risking so much by drilling offshore. But, we as a whole depend on oil too much.
I think you guys don't understand the scale of the problem. It's well over 210,000 gallons of oil a day. Exxon Valdez sized spill every 4 days. That would take a million of bales of hay/week.Even if that were possible, the hay is then saturated. What do you do with it then? You can't just take millions of bales of hay and throw them in the woods.
If our government would stop analyzing and pointing fingers as Americans have become so known for, maybe this spill could have been cleaned up weeks ago. How come the "think tank" in Washington didn't come up with a simple solution like this?
No matter what anyone says it's still a better idea than anything that BP has come up with so far. BTW cleaning up a big portion is still better than what BP is doing by cleaning up noting at all.
@5029 "No Matter what Anyone Says" lol willfull ignorance. Hair does the same thing. human hair soaks up oil. But it simply won't due to cover the entire gulf in hay or hair...
hay's easy enough to come by this time of year, thing is they probably don't want to get shown up by common sense simplicity. won't be easy to clean up but it's the best solution yet.
Well I think this might merit more thought.Yes it would take a massive amount of hay but, we have a lot of farmers that would be willing to take the challenge.The oil soaked hay could be compressed to recapture alot of the oil and the rest could be vaporized in the high temp facilities that destroyed the toxic nerve gases,...better than chemicals with an unknown out come,..think out side the box

There is no simple plan or "strategy" to stop this leak therefore you cannot help implement.
The coastline protection suggested here is fantastic and at least far better than the average imbecile's suggestion.

@irvinusy We are slowly anticipating the terror to creap onto our coast here in SW FL. Only a miracle would stave this off. Many solutions, like this one, will help anyway possible. It is slowly ripping our hearts out. Yes, nothing we can do about it except implement all workable solutions to minimize impact @ grass roots level. At least some of us are going to do what we can.
tiffanyhbeard 1 year ago
@tiffanyhbeard Several bonafide solutions out there. Even ones already approved by Coast Guard and EPA but being IGNORED. If I could, I would be creating a consortium, JV and IMPLEMENT as insurgent ALL workable solutions regardless of source. People would then see relevant action that is actually working to resolve this mess. You would think one of BP’s competitors would have spearheaded something like this by now for this is an excellent PR opportunity and a bonus, save the Gulf.

@tiffanyhbeard Negotiations would start like this… I will save your earth NOW; on condition you:
- provide me drilling rights
- immediate patent protection and;
- all rigs to be retrofitted with acoustic switches (triggers), only about a $500K investment/rig.
- royalties on use of my solutions provided they are now mandates of all who drill on US territory.
tiffanyhbeard 1 year ago
@tiffanyhbeard Because I am a environmentally conscious, responsible driller. The result would be excellent reputation/PR, positive shift in public perception to support safe drilling, lessening the dependency of America on foreign oil. Our shares would skyrocket, folks would get their economies, marine life and beaches back. If wanted to could then absorb BP since they will be left in the oil wake... searching for a bailout... ie ME. ok ... maybe not go that far... lol but come on folks...

I'd like to say, Hay works good, but we don't have too many hay fields down here.
We had a freeze here, and killed thousands of palms, their trunks are fiber/hair.
Cut down trees on location, grind, ship to Tampa oil soaked to incinerator for elec.

You don't know whether or not they ARE helping clean up effected water in their area. You also don't know whether or not they are able to fly to effected areas. At least they're sharing ideas and hoping the people watching who have access to these areas will use them.
Instead of commenting on his YouTube video, "take the hay to the gulf and start cleaning."

1 sq foot of oil and 1 pound of hay, for the spill that would take 1,508,109,926,400 pounds or 754,054,963 Tons @$200 a ton for hay would be $150,810,992,640 not including the price to deliver and disseminate it to the scene, then pick it up and dispose of it. Average price per ton per mile for barge is $1.80 so that would be about 200 mile round trip and the transportation costs would be $271,459,786,752. Then to dispose of hazardous waste is $10 a ton so that's another $30,162,198,520.

@ezradv and this isn't even including the latest figures of debt which the US has accumulated to date : over 13 trillion USD and counting. Question is if you have this much debt now who will be paying for the cleanup using hay or any other method. Apparently not BP who just spent 50 million on an AD campaign to save face in the UK. but not a penny to refund the people who rely on coastal waters for their livelihood.
bluelotuspetals 1 year ago
Although this method seems to work & should be used rather than doing nothing or more harm, it will likely require impractical amounts of hay (does anyone know how much is needed for 1000 gallons?)
Adria Brown's Golden Retriever has a much greater chance to be adopted. As stated in its patent description: "For spills between 100,000 and 1,000,000 gallons, somewhere on the order of between 60,000 and 600,000 cubic feet of entire corn cobs might by required"

@Netino78 also, it cuts the farmer off but he was about to say if you added more hay it would eventually be even cleaner. or we could just make snarky smartass comments on youtube, do NOTHING and let toxic crude oil drench our coastline and precious wetlands and kill off all the wildlife, but something as cheap as hay and the surf rake might be a better idea...duhhhhh

The massive size of the spill will take many kinds of solutions. I hope this gets tested, especially in beach and wetland areas to get the lions share of the oil out quickly. Good work guys... Hope it gets tested and considered. Make it happen!!!

True this isn't a solution to stop the flow of oil but will help in the clean up. It would also employ farmers and boost the economy. We could use barges to blow the hay over the oil and clean up when it drifts to the beaches. Why haven't we seen this on CNN???

@s33thr3w Isn't BP a british company? Americans did only one thing and thats ALLOW them to drill there. Not our fault THEIR line broke. Besides, EVERY single country uses oil, if the ENTIRE Earth weren't so dependent on oil, we wouldn't be risking so much by drilling offshore. But, we as a whole depend on oil too much.

I think you guys don't understand the scale of the problem. It's well over 210,000 gallons of oil a day. Exxon Valdez sized spill every 4 days. That would take a million of bales of hay/week.Even if that were possible, the hay is then saturated. What do you do with it then? You can't just take millions of bales of hay and throw them in the woods.

Well I think this might merit more thought.Yes it would take a massive amount of hay but, we have a lot of farmers that would be willing to take the challenge.The oil soaked hay could be compressed to recapture alot of the oil and the rest could be vaporized in the high temp facilities that destroyed the toxic nerve gases,...better than chemicals with an unknown out come,..think out side the box
