View on FacebookMeet System 002, aka Jenny. In about two weeks, we are returning to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) with the next iteration of our ocean cleanup design. Based on our learnings from System 001/B, we have now incorporated active propulsion into the design.
What are the main benefits of this design feature? 1) We can now steer to high-density zones to accelerate the cleanup process, 2) Boosted span, speed, and efficiency = reduced cost/kg of plastic removed, 3) Quicker time to scale up, because of simpler, readily available technology, And if it works, we expect to be able to clean an area equal to 1 football field of ocean every 15 seconds. -
