  • Wow this is what we had to do bcuz of BP but, great job whoever made this! 

  • this is brilliant.

  • Wow, lets get this done. Send it to CBS

  • Have you had any response for BP or the Obama Administration?

  • @spanishfly053177 - There has been communications with various resources and local officials at this time. We will continue to keep everyone posted on any updates on our Facebook page and here.

  • This needs to be on the news world wide!

  • Once the plug is shut down get this product on site and the rest of these bio-remediation products on site, its doesn't matter which one just get the product out there okay thank you.Get moving..

  • @BLACKKINGMOGUL999  right on

  • What happens when the MPU drifts ashore? Can it still be cleaned up as easily as it was on the surface of the water?

  • @craniumkid22 - The purpose is to collect the oil before it hits the shoreline. MPU is most effective on oil in the water that has not been hit with dispersants. Good at the site of the leak. Can be skimmed using skimmers. It can be blown onto the water and attracts the oil like a magnet. Forms a cake that can be collected.

  • Can the oil be reclaimed?

  • @baroncorky - Yes it can. Up to 85% can be refined or put to other use once extracted from the MPU cake. That same MPU can be put back into the water and gather more oil. This is highly effective on crude oil that has not had dispersant used on it. The one video demonstrates this.

  • You know what.... I've seen this stuff around 1996 on the Discovery Channel. I thought it was pretty cool... but I wondered why it wasn't used.

    Hopefully they will start using it.

  • good experiment but if it would help

  • @Eleonora4646 - Look at the video with the fishnet collection. We know it will help and just want opportunity to test in front of BP and government officials. This is past experimental stages, we're ready to go now with this and start helping on the clean up process.

  • This is awesome!! it should be in all the shores in the golf. even some sort of gate liner of this along the golf shores...what about cappin the golf at florida to texas so that it doesn't go into the rest of the ocean(s)

  • Seems like you could use it to create large floating dams to create a containment zone. Instead of collecting all the oil, create fences of the oil cake around the edge of the entire zone.then take as long as needed to clean up.

  • @Shatter415 ~ We are looking to be part of the solution and this is where testing comes into play as there are various ways to collect MPU. The important thing is to help with a solution that will absorb that oil. MPU can do this.

  • Mobius- It sound like a good idea, but not great. It take 2 WEEKS to make 2 million pounds, and that only absorbs 25,000 barrels of oil!!! By now there are MILLIONS of gallons, thus making this not a good choice.

  • @VenetianPrincessCow ~ We have never represented ourselves as the total solution. We are part of a combination of applications that can work now. A perfect solution does not appear to exist. I hope you are not suggesting that we let a search for a perfect solution get in the way of one that is good. Respectfully, the people and wildlife of the Gulf states simply do not have the time to wait.

  • @MobiusTechnologies not only that but if you had government funding couldn't you start getting more and more factories in on this? To start making like... 10 million pounds every 2 weeks? I don't see why it wouldn't just start to get more and more per week after you get more and more money...

  • Mobius - your product sounds great and you have a very large group following on FB. My question to you is, have you contacted not only BP, but all the governmental agencies that are involved with the oil disaster? How are you appoaching all these agency's? Email, phone calls, person to person, etc. and what is the responses to your requests. Better yet, have you contacted the local, and large media news bureau's with your proposals? And lastly, what is the outcome of your requests?

  • @edrz01 -> Come see us on Facebook - Mobius Technologies and visit our website any press or media information to date has been communicated on these sites. Also recently,Congresswoman Doris Matsui has written a letter on behalf of Mobius Technologies to Lisa Jackson Aministrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency urging her immediate review of our MPU oil-sorbent powder. We are doing everything possible to try and get down to demonstrate and test for BP. Everything is being done!

  • MPU looks like a viable product to use with Oil Spill in the Gulf ~ passing this information along and working on a petition to BP!

  • @88whynot ~ Thanks so much for the support we appreciate it!

  • Great video. I heard about you guys on the John & Ken show today.

  • @lavenderpebbles ~ It was a great show! Thanks for watching the videos and don't forget to pass them along.

  • how does it work when placed in a liquid like water? will it not disolve or absorb the water instead of the oil? or turn into a mush? and once it absorbs the oil, how do you collect the byproduct? Also is this chemical powder posinous to fish or birds that might ingest it?

  • @NewOrleansIsSinking4 ~ It's a powder that attracts the oil on the surface like a magnet and then immediately forms a floating cake texture that can be scooped or skimmed to collect. Oil collected can then be burned, or oil can be extruded from the cake. Perfectly safe to marine and wildlife, if ingested passes like fiber. Eco-friendly & already EPA approved.

  • So every two weeks you can ship enough mpu to absorb 1/2 a days spillage? The product is impressive but it's not available in the quantity needed to make a difference.

  • @tomboi1978 -> We have been telling the world that we do not view ourselves as a total solution to the spill. We can, however, be a powerful strategic one. As the oil approaches beaches and marshlands, MPU can be deployed to collect and remove the oil before it comes ashore. This will go a long way towards protecting beachfront communities, their fragile marshes and wildlife and the tens of thousands of jobs that they support.

  • @tomboi1978 That is very true. Thumbs up.

  • @tomboi1978 Just a simple house wife's opinion here BUT I could see this product helping in the wetlands and marsh areas. 1) add this to the sand berms for reenforcement and absorbentcy 2) start cleaning the aeas that have been blocked off. I could see this working. Hell If I live there I think I would sneak down to the coast and try this out myself.

  • Interesting stuff, it is a shame that BP is putting more effort in keeping people and viable solutions out rather then bring every resource available in.

    I am wondering though how well it work within the marshlands. Here the oil is the hardest to remove; hay and hair, while they have their uses, wont work in marsh areas. I am curious if yours would. Have you tested that?

    How much does just one of those big bags cost? I'll look up your website and send a formal inquery.

  • @pso777atlantika ~ We would love to be able to get invited down to test in the marshlands. We've demonstrated it's effectiveness in the salt water conditions of the gulf & on human skin for removal on wildlife & workers. Eco-friendly to the environment too. Thanks for your interest & post!

  • great product. i will pass this video along.

  • @scrimmy6969 - Thanks very much we appreciate the support! 

  • So then do it! What are you waiting for Mobius? File a claim with BP if you need to get paid just get out there and do it- plenty of volunteer manpower and donations can also fund the project. Lets get started soon : ) This is a great solution- Thank you : D

  • @karmamara - The process is for BP to invite us to demonstrate and test. If they are satisfied and want to proceed they would have to contact the EPA to have the EPA add our already EPA approved product added to their (BP's) permit with the EPA. We cannot just go down and dump MPU in the water. We need BP's agreement to go ahead. There are so many things that have to be done. The oil is still leaking we cannot fix that part of the issue. We can provide the product to clean it up.

  • @karmamara - We know there is the man power and the main thing is getting down there to do this with the approval of BP, EPA, and Government backing. Without any of that we cannot proceed. This is where awareness comes into play with media and public support behind our product to get us that invite.

  • They need to stop the leak first.

  • @MonyMG1959 - Agreed that is very important and something we cannot fix unfortunately. We can only provide the clean up capability on such a spill and have the volume to keep at it until it's cleaned up with our MPU product.

  • Go do it!!!

  • it will never work ,its just too ez no legislation or gov buracracy.too simple to work. i say go dump it out there your self and prove it the bp and the world ,only way to get anything done is do it yourself.

  • @midasman68 & @franielee38 ~ We would love to just be able to go do this however, imagine if everyone had a thought or idea & all converged down there & did their own thing. Imagine the chaos, not to mention the eco-system being more effected then it already is! We need to be invited to demonstrate to BP & if they approve, they in turn would have to contact the EPA to have our product which is already EPA approved added to their permit with the EPA. Then we can get down there & get it done.

  • @gravmag3 - Thanks for the recommendation! We're the real deal we can assure you!

  • @08M6ASR - Thanks much for putting the word out there we appreciate it!

  • Mobius Tech should just take a few thousand pounds of this, contact news agencies as they head to the Gulf and show to the world how effective this is. Then BP & our Gov't will have no other alternative but to pay for this resolution to BP's and our governments SCREW-UP

  • WHY AREN'T THEY DOING THIS

  • cool...

  • MT, I just contacted everyone at CNN & Fox News to try to get everyone to know about your solution. I think your company's popularity is about to expand 100-fold. ;-D

  • So get out there with it! What are you waiting for? If it's that good donate it and hurry up about it!

  • Why isn't Mobius Tech just going out and proving its effectiveness and it's avaiability? This video claims its willingness to demonstrate its effectiveness. WHY WAIT!!!! Just go to the Gulf and dump a few million pounds. Once the news industries pick up on this, BP & the Gov't will have no choice but to use it.

    Why is the simplest solutions ignored by industries. One word: MONEY!!!!

  • I had contacted a couple of local news stations, NBC6 and WSVN (Channel 7 news), about this solutions for cleaning up our oceans from the BP oil spill. So far I gotten 1 email back (NBC 6) thanking me for letting them know. I hope they do a story about this and produce many eyes of looking at this product for the possible solution for cleaning up the ocean.

  • @TheGuineaPigslave

    Great! Thank you for spreading the word!

  • this is great if the oil can still be recycled after mixing with this product. or is the "cake" that's formed useless beyond that point?

  • @nicolassoleil

    It's great if it works regardless if the oil can be recycled what the ---- do you mean? Are you an oil excecutive, or something?

  • More than 500,000 barrels a day and this absorbs 25,000 barrels of oil with 2 million of MPU.

    it's gonna be a hell of a run......

  • @PueErToRRiiGaMErr - We agree it's going to take some time to clean this up however, we are the only company in the world that has the volume that can do this on a long term and steady basis.

  • I saw posted on Facebook (& re-posted it myself) and contacted BP about it. They helped me send this information to the right people but I'm only one person. Would you please take a min to tell them about this yourselves, so that they know that other people know of this solution too and may well act upon it? Thanks!

  • I can’t tell you how much we appreciate your efforts. To your point - We have filled out and submitted the Deep-Horizon online pdf data form 3 times… so far. I have personally called the Hotline 4x since May 5th. The Hotline people are simply doing their jobs & are overwhelmed. A “special team" is tasked to evaluate each “solution” (38,000 & counting). The end result, a Deep Horizon hotline bottleneck of enormous & pervasive proportion.

  • @MobiusTechnologies I'm grateful that your company has a solution. I just hope BP listens. :-/

  • Oil that isn't emulsified is just as deadly. The reason oil is so good at killing aquatic lifeforms is that it acts as an "eclipse", preventing algae and plankton from photosynthesizing. When these simple organisms die, the bottom of the food-chain is eliminated, resulting in complicated organisms starving. I don't see how this "Micronized polyurethane powder" prevents that.

  • @BonkaGrenade

    There is nothing that is going prevent organisms from dying right now with the current status of the oil spill. SIGNIFICANT damage has already been done to the environment. We at Mobius only claim to have a product that is an excellent absorbent of oil that is in the ocean. Not only does it absorb the emulsified oil, but also the newly released oil that hasn't been sitting in the ocean for weeks.

  • It may only be a drop in the bucket to the amount of oil that is out there but its a start. if more processing plants were constructed, would the production rate increase? (can anyone say jobs? I need one!) It could be a good solution for many applications. Also it could be used right now as a coastal defense and for the animals already laden with crude. Did you see their other video showing it taking oil off the hands?

  • @gaga4gaga1015 Great Question! More should and can and need to...and maybe do so with your help. Are you soc-net savvy? If so, we'd love your help. Go to the contact form on our website and let us know you'd like to help spread the MPU-Oil Sorbent Solution word. We have some simple and factual "posting" tools to do just that. The number one objective is to have BP test MPU so they will see the advantages of MPU over ALL other oil-sorbents. Thank you.

  • This is cool, but the elephant in the room is: What do we do with the millions of pounds of oil soaked MPU? Cat in the Hat Comes Back anyone?

  • @conciergemktg The soaked MPU can be skimmed and burned offsite (e.g. cement kiln, incinerator, solid fuel boiler) or burned in situ.

  • Will it catch the oil not floating on the water ,but in the water?

    Cheapest solution to get some of the oil:

    Every US citizen orders a free sample using "The Golf " as the shipping-address.

  • @yakill The Gulf...

  • @yakill Re: "Every US citizen orders a free (MPU Oil-Sorbent" sample using "The Golf " as the shipping-address."

    Brilliant idea! We may not be able to give it all away for free but we would love to make sure people can get their hands on 25# bags of MPU or 600-800# bags or a container load or a ship load of containers full of MPU as that this is what is really needed wherever there is crude oil on the surface of the water, or on land or the beaches or harbors, or in marshes, or on wildlife.

  • Great product, but... haven't you noticed that at least 200,000 gallons of oil are going into Gulf every day? 2 million pounds/25,000 barrels absorbed over 2 weeks isn't even a dent...

    If the leak was stopped today, and you used these estimates, it'd take 4 years produce enough product to soak up the 3 million estimated gallons in the gulf.

    Not a bad contract, I hope you get it.

  • @dariusfunkLA You say 200,000 gallons. They say 25,000 *barrels*, 42 gallons in a standard US barrel means 1,125,000 gallons of oil effectively soaked up. (If this really works). Hardly a perfect solution but every drop they can get out of the gulf is going to help.

  • The video says it can be delivered in 2 weeks, but the description says 15-20 weeks...?

  • @dan14lev

    It was a typo. Sorry about that. 2 weeks is correct.

  • Oil has been leaking around 1mil gallons a day and you're able to sop up 25,000 gallons every 2 weeks? How is that a solution?

  • @Drewshua 25,000 barrels, not gallons, are soaked up by 2 million lbs of MPU.

  • They're spilling more than 25,000 barrels a day. You can't keep up with the rate that they are spilling.

  • very good tech !~

  • @vashshawn Thank you. Have you been to the Mobius Technologies website? Check out the performance data charts on polyurethane as a sorbent: amazing properties above and beyond any other oil-sorbent. Period. Spread the word. The Gulf needs this oil-sorbent wherever the is oil on top of the water or hitting the shore as emulsified oil.

  • @MobiusTechnologies already had the vid link post to my facebook and twitter ..the info about this tech needs to be spread

  • But can the MPU work with oil that has already had the dispersant applied ? Will the dispersant affect the action of MPU ?

  • @jonbiddell Jon, we wish MPU could pick up the oil after it has been affected by Corexit95xx (Nalco dispersant being applied in unprecedented tonnage). Once dispersants hit the oil nothing can pick it up again... And all the oil IS STILL PRESENT in the eco-system, it does not go away for a long long time... This out-of-sight-out-of-mind approach will have long term consequences we can't even imagine. Check out some powerful images on the benefits on our website, see " Demonstration Photos."

  • Turns out that the vid's using hay and hair don't tell you that ALL organic absorbents sink over a short period of time. Not good. MPU-Oil-Cake stays afloat on the surface of the water and is collectable with boat skimmers on the water and skimmers used on beaches...

  • nice

  • The kicker is this... emulsified oil is the real killer and cannot be absorbed by other sorbents or affect by dispersants, whereas MPU can absorb emulsified oil... AND it is a Green product, non-toxic and much cheaper than Corexit by Nalco! Please share the links. This is a vid that can do a world of good if it goes viral.
