SCOUR THE SEAS!
BALEEN - SHIPS THAT SCOUR THE SEAS
The ships function as laboratory stations, observation posts, and for teaching experience. They are in communication with the entire world. It is a feel-good job working three months on, and one month off.
By the time the gross plastic bits are gone, newer versions that filter the micro-plastic will be evolved. The retired ships will become power plants that run on urban waste.
THE PROCESS OF PLASTIC
FOLLOW THE MONEY....
Where do the dollars come from?
Where do they go?
OIL comes out of the ground … it costs money to get oil out and sell it for money,
It’s pumped by derricks at a cost to make money,
Someone built that pipeline with money to move OIL,
To the trucks that cost money to move the OIL,
To the Refinery that makes money by producing the raw materials for plastic,
To the Tanker ship that makes money moving the purified OIL,
To the plastics factory that makes money making things out of the OIL,
To the container ship that makes money moving the plastic goods,
To the ports that cost money to transfer the shipments,
To the semi-trucks that cost money to haul the plastic,
To the warehouse that charges money to handle the plastic,
To the delivery truck that charges money to get the plastic to the retail store,
To the money exchange of the household, all outward,
To the garbage… no money, just cost of hauling the garbage… if there is such a thing in the 3rd world places,
To the river where the plastic flows with the river to the sea,
It accumulates in giant masses of trillions of tons of waste.
Where are all those dollars?
Can we get them back in the form of energy or oil?
BALEEN can.
PLASTIC TO OIL?

STSTS - SHIPS THAT SCOUR THE SEA
We are creating Ships to Scour the Sea. STSTS
We are Transforming the gyre plastic into the energy required to continue to scour the sea of plastic.
The Ships are 275 foot catamaran platforms with 80 foot beam.
BALEEN Conveyor tongues eat (filter) the larger size plastics first to slow the natural micronization that is occurring from abrasion and UV degradation. Microplastic is the serious problem, but first we have to get rid of the MACRO plastic. The microplastic can wait and we can stop watching more being created.
The BALEEN conveyor tongue of stainless steel or titanium chain mail can be set down to twenty feet below the surface.
Material is raised and released to a hopper process that begins with draining and ends in micronization to maximize energy release.
The next step is Gasification to convert one ton of matter into one megawatt of power. This runs the ship systems and power train. With battery storage walls or hydrogen fuel cells it can store power for other electric vessels.
The Solid By-product is activated charcoal.
Heat and Syngas are produced by Gasification. Syngas may be filtered for toxins, possibly rad nucleotides.
Every big corporation sponsors this effort. We see the SoS Dupont BALEEN, the SoS Marubeni BALEEN. There was a rush to be able to say they were first to Save the Oceans.
Rebuilding the steel industry. Rebuilding ship building. Employing thousands.
Crew service is equivalent to military. We know Youth are desperate to be working at something meaningful to humanity and the planet.
In full swing there are 250 ships each costing fifty million dollars or less. Fifty ships scour each known gyre following coordinated GPS guidance.
They also function as laboratory stations, observation posts, and teaching experience. They are in communication with the entire world. It is a feel-good job working three months on, and one month off.
By the time the gross plastic bits are gone, newer versions that filter the micro-plastic will be evolved. The retired ships will become power plants that run on urban waste.
This is a sure thing as a thirty year program.
Help us celebrate my 102nd birthday with the declaration “The Seas are Clean and Humans NOW know not to Fuck them up again.”
Then I will pass in peace.

P.S. … the money to do this is peanuts to ten or twenty people on the planet. Maybe one of you knows one of them and can help them to understand BALEEN 2019 and how easy it can be. Not rocket science.
