The Challenge | Trash Cleanup
Oceanic garbage patches are collections of marine debris that come together due to ocean currents; they have devastating effects on ocean ecosystems. Your challenge is to design a mission to help clean up garbage from the ocean!
The unusual triple machine

An idea to try to clean the polluted ocean..is a triple machine..the first part is pulling and collecting garbage ..the second part is grind them..the third part is store them
- 🌟EARTH'S OCEANS SUFFER FROM POLLUTION:
- 🌟We use materials to make a model:1/cardboard :.. to make the machine body... 2/a box of plastic: to make the battery..3/cans: to make the solar cells,fans, filter,wires,motor4/a stick: to make the remote sensing5/papers:to make the tube
⚫⚫Pollution of the seas has become an increasing phenomenon and it is different from one place to another...🔴🔴The rate of pollution varies depending on the source causing this phenomenon..and the phenomenon of pollution is increasing due to the increasing of population and high density in cities and ports and the increasing percentage of building giant ships, ports and piers...so, we think of an Idea of a machine ... it's called ((the unusual triple machine))🌟It works by:1-solar cells:As it will converts the sun rays into electricity2-remote sensing:To sense the wastes and move to it3-GPS:To know the location of the machine4-motor and fans:To move to the wastes5- according to the difinition that passed in the environmental conference in Stockholm in1972..Summary: it is the direct or indirect introduction of human substances or energy into the marine invironmentThis means that the pollution sources maybe toxic substances..so,we add a filter inside the motor: to purify the water6-we will control the machine by the remote control and when the storage space of the machine is filled it will send an alarm and we will order it to come to make its storage empty again
We said before that the machine called the unusual triple Machine ...as it contains from 3parts ..:The first part is:Collecting the wastes bu the tubeThe second part:Is a ((grinder))Is to grind the wastes to decrease its density and go automatically to the ...Third part:Is a storage space to store wastes((🌟We inspired the idea of:1-suction tube that collects the wastes from the suction hose of the vacuum cleaner2-sending an alarm tells us that its storage is filled from the storage capacity of the phone or the storage capacity of the vacuum cleaner3-controling it by a remote control from the wireless-electric car toys or games4-the machine and grinding from the big fishes that eats the small fish5-grind the wastes to decrease its density from the popcorn machine because when the popcorn are made its density decreasesand they hit the surface of the machine and go automatic_allyto exit or to the storage space6- fans and motor from the motor of the water-craftPrevious ideas :There are many ideas to solve this problem because marine pollution is a global problem, but the recent one is this ..:A dutch student think of an idea to solve this problem ...it succeed-s and has a tremend-ous supportBut,in our point of view (NASA TEAM ) WE THINK THAT THIS MACHIN-E is not perfect enough to solve a big problem like that ... because:1- it was so expensive and it doesn't be available for poor countries because it needs many devices2-it is not safe for marine organism-s because he needs large amounts of nets
... our idea of machine is very perfect to solve this problem.. because: - 🌟It is very cheap and available for poor countries
- 🌟It is very easy to use
- 🌟 It is very safe
- 🌟 It works by solar cells
- 🌟 It has a large storage capacity that helps it to collect large amounts of wastes ,so it can solve the problem of marine pollution in a small amount of time
- 🌟 It contains a filter .. anywhere it'll go it purifies the water
- 🌟It is environmentally friendly
- 🌟It moves freely so it will collect large amounts of wastes and collect garbage from anywhere
- 🌟Our machine has many advantages and its advantag-es will increase by the time
- 🌟 And we have suggestions to exploit the plastic to try to solve the problem of marine pollution:
- 🌟The first suggestion:..is to sell the plastic to factories and recycle it if they are good to use and it will be for only one usage plastic ( Thus,we have achieved economic benefits)
- 🌟The second suggestion: is to use the plastic as a source of energy by control the temperature and use electric heater instead of flame
- 🌼 ..we hope that our idea is an attractive idea and attract your attention and you like it ...🌼🌼🌼
