| Work Detail |
The use of solar and wind energy as well as the energy of sea currents and waves will help with the disposal of the so-called Great Pacific Waste Spill . The first unit of an autonomous cleaner system powered by renewable energy sources is due to sail to the seas on 8 September . According to estimates, the creator of this system may reduce 50% of waste within 5 years of its full commissioning. The origin of the waste stain, namely the discharge of plastic and chemical waste into rivers and oceans, which is then carried by sea currents and concentrated in certain areas, is a human being. This also created a waste stain on the western coast of the USA between California and the Hawaiian islands. The area affected by the waste is estimated at 1.6 million square kilometers, the stain being 4.5 times larger than Germany. The bulk of waste is estimated at 80,000 tonnes. The worlds oceans get rid of the idea of ??a young Dutchman For a project of The Ocean Cleanup costs currently ctyriadvacetiletý Dutchman, who designed a relatively simple way we can eliminate waste from the sea. Waste will collect 600 meters long floating dike. The dykes will be powered by sea currents, waves, and wind power. All devices located on the dam, which require electricity for their operation, such as signaling lights or communication and navigation systems, will only be powered from solar panels. The first of 60 autonomous floating units will be launched in the Pacific Ocean already at the beginning of September. As soon as all units are in operation, they have to reduce the size of the large Pacific Waste Spot in half to 5 years. The Ocean Cleanup Technology, Explained The impact of the project should be unambiguously positive Some experts, however, are critical of the proposed system because they will not be able to capture waste that is at a greater depth. The system is also accused of flooding plankton and small animals, which also move only through the energy of sea currents. However, the conclusions of the scientific studies that have been dealt with for this waste collection process claim that the impact of the project on natural ecosystems will be unambiguously positive. The Ocean Cleanup is the largest and most advanced project ever to have a real chance of greatly reducing the pollution of the ocean by plastic waste. |
