MADE TO MOVE ACCROSS WATER

Responsive & Adaptable

DEVELOPMENT

Reimagining the water filter

Seaswirl will be powered by renewable solar energy, via a solar cone, however alternative renewable energy sources such as wind or tidal power can be explored. The fins will be made of recycled plastic to minimise environmental impact, and together with the motor will float on water .  Further research is needed to determine the exact filter type, with reverse osmosis as a potential option. Extra care is to be taken to find a filter solution that will minimise harm to important microorganisms in the water. Once the filter type is determined, a prototype can be made and tested in a university lab.

DIFFUSE COASTAL POLLUTION 

A threat to marine ecosystems and human health

Farming, manufacturing, processing - the systems we rely on to sustain our lifestyle are damaging our environment and health.

The images below are from Chichester Harbour, a protected nature conservation area of international importance, with run off flowing into the harbour from the adjacent fields and sewer overflow. Though the daytime period is very busy with water vessels, the evenings  and night time are potentially a suitable time to clean the water.   

50%
