By autonomously navigating the water's surface,Sea swarm proposes a new system for ocean-skimmingandoil removal. Sea swarm uses a photovoltaic-poweredconveyor belt made of a thin nanowire mesh to propel itselfand collect oil. The nanomaterial, patented at MIT, canabsorb up to 20 timesits weightin oil. The flexible conveyorbeltsoftly rolls over the ocean'ssurface, absorbing oil whiledeflecting water because of its hydrophobic propertiesSea swarm is meant to figure as a fleet, or “swarm” ofvehicles, which communicate their location through GPSand Wi-Fi so as to make an organized system for collectionthat can work continuously without human support. Seaswarm works by detecting the sting of a spill and movinginward until it's removed the oilfromone site before joiningother vehicles that are still cleaning. The fleet uses cuttingedge nanotechnology to unravel current environmentalproblems while envisioning long-term solutions for thelonger term. With a replacement design strategy, we willrevive and preserve the standard of our oceans.
