The garbage patch of the pacific is a cluster of trash that is produced by the ocean currents, this patch has twice the size of Texas.

Our challenge is to clean up that garbage patch using a ship that doesn't use fossil fuels. We also decided to make it autonomous, which also is a big challenge. Lastly we needed to make it durable, efficient, and capable.

We decided to use a catamaran ship, these ships are known to be very stable, fast and also have the perfect characteristics to support the amount of monocristaline solar panels and a sail that we would need to power thise ship. For our trash clean up meachanism we would use a convejor belt to pick up the floating debris, and by having a split hull we can put our belt in there and also it is really stable.

We wold localize the garbage patch by following the oceanic curents traced by NOAA, and it would be guided by GPS aided with censors to avoid objects.

Once inside the ship water and solids would be separated. Water would be treated for pollutants (oil, gasoline, etc). Solids would be separeted by organic and inorganics using vision censors, were organics will be drop back to the ocean and in-organics further separated into categories. Once separeted into materials by the vision censors they would be compacted and packed in reusable mech bags to be dragged by the boat or leaved on a common shipping route to be picked by other boats and then taken to ports either in Taiwan, Japan, or Singapur to be sold. that money then can be used to repair and take care for the boat.

For materials we were planning on using iron for the hull, fiver glass for the deck were the solar panels and navigations anthena would be, and carbon fiber for the props and reinforcement. The mass could be made using an aluminum tube reinforced with a outer leyer of carbon fiber for reinforcement.
