I got this great information about how oil spill is being removed by the help of green technology.....
MIT researchers tested the first prototype of the Seaswarm, a pack of robots that use nanotechnology to suck up oil from the surface of the ocean for immediate processing. When completed, the robots will be able to travel along oil-spilled waters, collecting oil more cheaply and efficiently than oil skimmers. The robots are large: 16 feet in length and seven feet in width. They push a conveyor belt wrapped by an oil-absorbing nanowire mesh that repels water while slurping up to twenty times its weight in oil.
Once the robot is full, the material can be heated up to remove the oil and sent back into the waters to collect more. MIT’s SENSEable City Lab Associate Director Assaf Biderman likens it to a “rolling carpet” that could be able to clean for weeks on end in the right conditions. The robots are powered by solar panels and need only 100 watts of electricity to operate.
So, what do you think about the type of approach & technology????
