Abstract
Example implementations include a system and method of using plastic from bodies of water and creating a floating platform by collecting plastic from a body of water, cleaning the collected plastic, melting and compacting the plastic, molding a plurality of hexagonal blocks from the compacted plastic, stacking the plurality of hexagonal blocks, wherein a system of springs and an energy storage device is provided between each of the plurality of hexagonal blocks, and coating the stacked blocks with a non-toxic material. Through the use of various onboard functionalities, energy may be generated to regulate temperature and provide electricity, oxygen may be supplied, and water may be purified.
Claims2
A floating platform comprising:
- a plurality of hexagonal blocks made from compressed plastic collected from a body of water;
- a non-toxic coating covering the plurality of hexagonal blocks;
- a system of at least one spring coupled to an energy storage system, wherein the system of at least one spring are located between each block comprising the plurality of hexagonal blocks;
- a plant cultivation system located at the bottom of each block comprising the plurality of hexagonal blocks;
- a photoelectric coating covering the top and sides of each floating platform;
- and
- a computer configured to control a direction and speed of travel, determine an optimal path of travel, and control a plastic collector drones and plastic compactor for compressing the plastic collected from the body of water.
