Sorry for the poor quality of this overview. We just want to see we can just record the computer screen with a regular camera like a TV station did when they did the interview. Will work on something more professional later. he Deepwater Oil Containment System- a oil spill containment funnel. The 3 to 4 week fix. WXII TV Interview

The Deep-Water Oil Recovery System (DORS)
A small group of business owners with engineering and manufacturing capabilities to reach 5000 feet below sea level to the Deepwater Horizon's well site is working on a system to contain the Gulf oil spill. The plan is known as the "Deepwater Oil Recovery System" (DORS). DORS will not cap the well but instead contain the oil at the wellhead, prevent it from further contaminating the ocean, and channel it to the surface for collection. The system can work alongside and augment BP's current efforts without interfering with them. It is passive and is not connected to the wellhead, but suspended above the wellhead to collect escaping oil not collected by BP's cap. It cannot do further damage and poses no risk to the current collection efforts or equipment.
The DORS plan has been submitted to BP's Deepwater Horizon's official suggestion site. It also has been uploaded as a "white paper" to the Coast Guard's DHS site for review under the name "A Flexible Buoyancy Driven Deep Water Crude Oil Recovery and Containment System by Jeff Holden of Holden Development and Marketing". Scherba Industries of Brunswick, Ohio which has extensive experience building very large complex structures of this nature, is exploring design options to build the system. A summary of the plan has been sent to the office of the President of the United States, as well as all affected states' representatives and governors. We are moving ahead to advanced blueprints, a materials selection process, scale modeling, and continued efforts to assess the overall viability of the system.
It is important for this project to move forward as quickly as possible due to the ongoing contamination of the Gulf. Therefore, the current team is operating WITHOUT the assistance of the federal government or BP. If you have technical experience in deepwater environments and want to volunteer your expertise, please let us know via email.
We are working with experts in the field to look at all possible problems with working in the harsh environment of extreme ocean depths. While the plan is radically simple and does not involve exotic technology, we want to make sure we haven't missed anything. We want to address every problem that possibly could occur during construction and deployment of the DORS, so we invite and encourage public input from those who believe this plan would not work. Please feel free to email us with your concerns or suggestions. We will post feedback and our responses on this site as we move forward. Please read through current postings before submitting a question to see if your concern already has been addressed. Look to this site for updates.
If approved by the administration and BP, construction of the DORS should take about one week from the time designs are finalized. Click HERE to bring up a simplified plan schematic, which you can download and forward as you see fit.
Please continue to check this site for updated information. If you have an interest in seeing this plan move forward, consider sending this link to your congressman or local representative.
