There are a few interesting properties between crude oil and water that make separation fairly trivial. Most components in crude oil are chains of carbon and hydrogen and have one polar end that's hydrophilic (drawn towards water) and one non-polar end that's hydrophobic (pushes water away). As a result, it tends to find the closest surface and orient itself so that water's on one side and not on the other. This forms a "puddle" of sorts that floats on the top of the water, and as you vacuum it up from it's center, the water's surface tension draws it in. The biggest problem with oil spills is that they don't occur in distilled water, there's a lot of wildlife that's affected by it, and the oil can stick to rocks, reefs, the beach, it just gets EVERYWHERE and once it's wedged in somewhere, it doesn't like coming out. Heck, it can even stick to microscopic bits of sand or shell floating in the water and form globs that sink down into the ocean floor, becoming particularly difficult to clean.

Now transform a thriving ocean into a dying ecosystem
This were a really cute demo to try. I really look forward to the full release, whenever that is.
I think later this year for the full release 👍
