Engineering Students Developed a Solar Powered Floating Machine That Can Be Used To Clean Polluted Water Bodies
Nowadays students contribute a lot to the society and we need to encourage them more.
Mechanical engineering students of Cochin Institute of Science and Technology of Muvattupuzha, Kerala developed solar powered floating machine that can be used to clean polluted water bodies.
The aim is to control the burgeoning pollution caused by dumping garbage to water bodies.
The toxic effluents and contaminants in the garbage seep through the soil over time and subsequently find their way to the groundwater. The floating machine is designed in the model of a boat.
The propellers of the machine function with a motor. It is also attached with an arm and bucket in the model of excavator. This part will be used to collect the waste in the water.
The operator can remotely view the waste present in the water body with the help of camera attached to the device and control the direction through an android phone.
The machine can clean plastic waste and aquatic weeds like salvenia. Hope the civic bodies will soon utilize these to save the rivers and ponds before it is too late.
