Underwater Lawnmowers Are Cleaning Trash Out Of Rivers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2018
- This Aquatic Weed Harvester can gather weeds and excessive amounts of trash in waterways of all sizes.
Cleantec Infra made the machine that functions similarly like an underwater lawnmower. Its conveyer belt lowers into the water and cuts, collects, and stores the trash/weeds until it needs to be discharged.
The Harvester is one of many ways humans are trying to battle the growing threat of sea pollution all around the world.

Finally something that helps clean up the environment. Nice to know things like this exist.
Tru
COD4LIFE those machines are old af
Leuchtekulli My first time seeing it. They should be promoted or talked about more.
_What? Naah naah, Kim's ass is much more important than some useless water-cleaning and eco-friendly machine_
Fruit500 what?
I don't know why watching the weeds being scooped up with such ease created such a calming effect. This is low key one of the most satisfying things I watched.
Anyone here from the tweet?
This is just amazing and helpful for nature
reasonXtro :3 amazing*
Helpful*
reasonXtro :3 Not necessarily, small fish use the weeds to hide from predators such as birds, or even other fish. But I do agree with you, it is good for nature.
@@quinnCS The weeds may be invasive plants
@@quinnCS Like I think that is for invasive species and for plants growing in artificial water bodies.
We need this in the philippines to clean manila bay and other rivers in the country
Ya mostly in our place because theres no water u can see clean
Clarence Dela Cruz ikr
Clarence Dela Cruz I was about to say this. haahhaah. Tama ka.
Philippines, look at your Southern Island Neighbor (more like Hell on Earth)
Clarence Dela Cruz yea bro in the philippines in manila bay theres alot of people i see throwing trash which is not right
we are here from twitter

Lawn mower on an ocean floor tweet
that is one of the best inventions i've ever seen. Bravo.
Whos here from twitter? Lmfao
Do more videos like this instead of useless gadgets that cost $15,000
Lynsey Tully +1
definately
I mean, this one probably costs way more than 15 large. Good thing it's useful
You guys are doing amazing work in India, keep it up
Thank you!
These machines are really awesome.they should be mass produced and used and so we can see very clean and tidy rivers and oceans.
So by mass-producing them we can add more pollution to the planet.
Well we can make them electric and power them with renewable energy.
Worked with 1 in and around Rotorua lakes New Zealand. Great bit of kit
Please keep making more of these and help make the world a better place!
That is so awesome keep making more and keep earth beautiful
Brilliant invention, 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻, congrats to the inventors. People take pride in their countries stop rubbishing indiscriminately.
Thank you Twitter
Yes
Anyone here after that specific meme
I recently seen one of these working in a local park lake. Was rather cool watching it collect all the weed and returning it to a clean edge.
Thank you...good to see something that improves the environment..
Really a Great Effort!
I wonder if all the plant matter removed from the waterways can be converted into a natural fertilizer, a food component for animals, converted to pellets or some other form of green fuel for energy production or even used in raw form to replenish arid soils to support the "greening" of otherwise unusable desert lands
Both machine are using on the mass level in India !
Cool contraption 💪
I saw beach cleaners like that 35 yrs ago. Only downside: no seashells unless you get out there before the cleaners.
This is great and so beneficial for the environment
The ones that invented it are pure genius.
Love it.
Made in INDIA... Proud moment
Nice!
Mohd. Moazzam most indians be like "sent pictre of vageana pls"
Born out of necessity, not a good thing.
I shit in the streets proud moment
India is made in China, the Earth is also made in China, the Sun is made in China, everything is made in China.
These are common , and yes they completely do all this amazingly well !
This is actually something that could really help the earth and our water
That is fantastic this will be very helpful in Bangladesh we need one urgently
Build bigger machines like this and let's clean Oceans from plastic !
Yeah, we certainly have the technology but you would have to convince the asshole politicians to first. So it would be impossible.
Then to figure out how to dispose of it safely.
@@Misha-dr9rh sir you are right but now bad polticans are lower than before . Thanks to development of ppl
@@ranjanasingh9251 nah
These need to be everywhere, such a cool piece of technology.
Fabulous machine !!!!
Now that’s technology
Outstanding! This is something I would definitely contribute too if there was Go Fund Me request.
Know it's been 9 months, but you can always donate to The Ocean Cleanup, for instance.
I'd be keen to sort through the sand rubbish cleaner for lost jewellery. I'm sure it would pickup a surprising amount particularly on popular/busy beaches.
I have seen it work years and years ago on the canal in Haarlem Holland. Was fascinating even then!
So happy to know there are so many things now cleaning our waters. These a God's gifts to us and it is up to us to keep them nice and clean.
If the waste is used as fuel and dosent produce pollution th I I the most amazing thing ever we need this everywhere in the world.
I reckon operating one of either of these machines would be satisfying, especially the sand harvester!
its stuff like this that helps me believe we can help undo and/or correct many of the mistakes we've made as a civilization with all the trash and 'bad stuff' we've done to mother nature and the planet.
It would work better if it had 2 angular walls on the outside. To trap the trash and force it to enter the conveyor belt
Lol, i thougjt the same
Some manufacturers do. However, it depends on the junk you're picking up. If it is all 'matted togethor', then just taking a fixed width slice will fill the belt. If the debris is 'loose floating' (e.g. rubbish), then a 'cone' can pull more in the front. th-cam.com/video/nTV9selozUs/w-d-xo.html
What’s the cost of the unit?
I not an expert, but doesn’t all the plant life help the ecosystem by providing cover for smaller fish and oxygenating the water?
BlatantUser4976 - no. Water weed is a big problem. Not just for human, but it destroys ecosystem and create polluted water.
That's the wikipedia for the weed shown on video.
Thas Tayapongsak ok, thanks. I learned something new today.
They are aquatic weeds. Just like the ones that grow in your garden, they are unwanted because they are harmful.
Also they consume all the oxygen from water, so most fish will die if there's too much weed
Wow👍👌👏
Thanks to y'all.
OmG this is amazing! My island can def use these!!!
Good😀
#SaveThePlanet
Now go cleanup the island of plastic in the Pacific ocean 😂👍
I understand the trash but the foliage is home fo aquatic life one world
@@harryjohnson4460 agree. don't see how killing plants is helpful to the natural world. it's only helpful to humans who want easier access to the water, and then they will mess things up there even worse.
@@Schoolship. some foliage could be littered with trash. The plants catch the rubbish and it this accumulates so sometines removing the entire plant "ball" is a better solution. Clearing foliage could also help to clear paths for larger wildlife like manatees, keeping them away from areas with high traffic. The water plants are unfortunately collateral damage but from what i know about many swamp plants is that they are fast growers and do not take very long to establish themselves.
@@Schoolship.well it's the humans that fertilize our crops and the feed they now give to livestock seeps into nearby rivers and lakes and causes algea blooms and other over growth in the water that disrupts the natural ecosystem
Not all greenery in the water is a good thing
It can stagnate the wetlands if the the plant species is invasive and also provide shelter for invasive animal species
awesome, hats off to the engineers who thought of this! well done ! also the people who make use of it ! bravo guys !
Thank You!
I do believe that is one the coolest inventions I have ever seen
Lot of water hyacinth in our reservoirs in SRI LANKA 🇱🇰 ! How much is the price of this machine? From where we can have a one ? Anyone know about it ? Lovely machine from India !🇮🇳
God bless u who invented this technology
Thank you for your wishes!
We need this machine for the harbors in Chicago.
Awesome, love to see it work.
WHO ELSE CAME FROM THAT TWEET ON TWITTER
We need this for Nigeria water way, Ikorodu - Lekki, Bayeku-Sandfill
Our environment needs a army of these.
Ingenious. If it compressed the weeds on board and then bailed them (like a combine harvester), it could store more weeds
Amazing - maybe add the feature that it uses uses what it consumes as energy???
This isnt back to the future 3 u onow
It’s about time, we need more technology to help clean our oceans and rivers. If they can put a man on the moon 🌙, we can clean our oceans no problem.
*Man never went to the moon ...*
No we can't. The oceans are too big. It's just a feel-good exercice.
You should see the beach cleaning equipment Los Angeles County beaches have. They drag thru the top foot of sand every night over many square miles of beaches
About time they started using these
Wow... nice innovation by Indian scientists....
Peter Gibbons 👍
Stfu
The waste is also an innovation of the indians so don't be too proud.
Alex Van Horssen *S A V A G E*
@@alexvanhorssen7914 the waste is an innovation of industrial revolution. Look at your prized developed country when they were going through the industrial revolution, those rivers were unclean too.
I'm here from Twitter 🤷🏻♂️
Aqui no Brasil precisa de uma máquina assim moderna para facilitar muito o nosso trabalho parabéns
FYI, Ocean Cleanup has river Interceptor vessels w/diverting barrier. Also, check out Bubble Barrier project; seems like it could work w/this device or Interceptor. Plastic Bank project pays people to collect plastic for cash - hopefully diverting plastic from waterways.
We need programmed machine for India. And need 1000000 machines in every part of country.
Or, you could just stop littering - would it be possible?
@howard weitzell ,, first teach them, how a trash bin looks like, second teach them how to drop in the bin bucket. 3rd teach them how to empty at the end of day. Never throw in the street, be wise. Don't regret.
@howard weitzell ,, idol worshippers have no HEAVENLY wisdom. You worship idol, you too. You can spell your animal name. No use. You got know the living God. JESUS CHRIST IS Lord.
yheh India is just this way
Developed by india
Technology's there just need a major input of demand from governments to get these in the system
We need this all over the world
Looks like a water tractor. Cool machine!
Incredible India!
Amazing it's from India
Probable build in China, but yes the thrash is all from India.
@@BalboaBaggins Okay hater!! Its build in India & not in china not everything is built in ccp china. Thrash???? 😂🤣😂🤣😂
The amount of trash in India is less than the trash that is on your head. Get well soon hater!!
That’s truly remarkable! Thank you for your hard work! Is this somehow connected to Art of Living, I saw the banner on the boat.
Ye ig art of living and jsw cement have taken up this initiative
Wonderful! Send about a million of those things to Brazil
EPIC!
Why is there not a container ship sized one eating the giant garbage patches in the ocean there would be enough room on board to separate and recycle then transfer to another ship selling the materials.
Scaling up the size may be "too difficult" or "too costly" for most companies to attempt
jc1982discovery - Cost to profit ratio is so low it would be near possible to break even. That is why even big corporations and governments aren't even bothered.
Too shallow to fit in those small lakes.
jc1982discovery That could work. Maybe there are already retired fishing vessels that would be perfect to convert. A larger vessel could have compactors and shredders to reduce the size of the waste.
There is one in the Pacific made in Alameda, Ca. The Idea was from a young man and he has it between West Coast and Hawaii. you can see it in action on TH-cam.
Lovely enterprise! Thanks
The world needs more of these machines and less tanks and fighter jets.
It's helpful in Bangladesh.
Nebouring Indian is manufacture, Importing cost also decrease for BD.
Anyone else here bc of twitter? bc same
Thank you for your genius and hard work. You are MUCH appreciated!!
Life is full of the lovely things like the morning sun, the gleaming dew drops, the sparkling rain, the vast blue sky, the
whistles of chirping birds, the beauty of the
sea. Hope you're doing great and in good health ?
Its a cute little paddle boat! I love it
This is Indian Tech at its finest
Varun Phadke you have a space program...
haha water trashtruck is your peak of technology?
Are you sure? Your space program, mentioned earlier, and your pharmaceutical industry would probably outrank this. India even makes a modern people's car, the Tata Nano.
Who got here cause of tht stupid tweet lol
Saw the tweet on reddit
Caramba que engenhoca legal vei o Brasil precisa de ideias criativas como essa o rio Tietê. E outros diversos lugar pra fazer limpeza isso aí grandes ideias
Outstanding!
Aren't we also building large ships to the clean the oceans
Godavari is a river in my state of my country. Proud to see it in tech insider.
The things have been in service in upstate NY for a long time. Theres one on Saratoga Lake like every year at the north end
Okay but then what? The trash just keeps piling on the land?
At least on land it’s not killing sea creatures
Garbage certainly doesn't belong in the seas or ocean the fish didn't make the trash now did they? We need more biodegradable containers and things that are readily thrown into landfills and elsewhere. !
60 years ago we didn't need plastic containers. Time to go back to our roots and ban single use plastic items.
@elijah mikle burn what's burnable and for the plastics make road tiles or sidewalks. Doesnt look half bad and last quite a while
@@RandallJamesPeterson this as well. Or make biodegradable plastics or one that is breaks down from water or shit even piss haha
Smoking done by fish and underwater creatures will decrease now... R.I.P Seaweed.
You are to funny, but thanks, I had a good laugh.
This needs to be all over the world
Oh, good! Another infommercial -- like the one for the Airfish8.
We need this in Egypt to clean the nile thanks to England for polluting it in the first place
Aphrotide and Ganshea Gang Your welcome 😊
James Bell welcome ? For what?
Aphrotide and Ganshea Gang "thanks to England polluting it in the first place"
EarthClad ahh here is the explanation when they invaded egypt they wanted to ruin it in alot of ways and one is health and easiest way was through the nile so they build mousqes and churches and made anything that comes out from it go into the water because if anyone said to stop building a lot of people will argue that he upis a non beleaver
Aphrotide and Ganshea Gang ok thanks for the info
Now to fix the root cause of this issue! This is just containment
It is a conveyor the goes under the debris and pulls it up and drops it into a collection bucket. Some conveyors have tines to pick up debris out of the sand on the beach. Both good ideas and seem to work great.
Perfect work
Innovative India
Indian tech
It just looks satisfying to use
Why on earth would anyone dislike this 🤦♂️🙄....
Probably terrible for the animals that lived in the weeds
Jake Hale. And so is the garage. I’m sure the leave when the hear that thing splashing in the water.
