SYSTEM 001 | First Mission | Cleaning Oceans | The Ocean Cleanup 

Mohammed EL-MIRI yes we support and respect your determination!!!

It's hard to admit but the project failed. Miserably! Not only does it not collect plastic it also is way to stiff and even breakers apart after a few weeks. And all this after an unbelievable amount of simulations and prototyping. What the team is really really good is selling us the dream that we can save the world without changing our way of live. The message is so nice: All will be good! As long as jung, smart and beautiful people work together for one goal! The reality sadly is much darker...

Where did you hear this?

@@AlexanderWunschik yeah, the reality is much darker, but with how unforgiving the ocean is, I'm not surprised the system lasted as long as it did. It's been way less than a decade's worth of work. Let these guys work it out. Anyone who ever prototyped something knows the frustration of the first model failure.

@@AshLeeeeee The sad thing is this was not a prototype. They already had multiple prototypes, even in rough sea. This should have been it: The first of many productive systems. They already spend millions and millions not to build this one system, but to simulate and test the concept. Now that it has failed they must start from the beginning and I'm not sure they have funding for that.

@@AlexanderWunschik I will continue to make donations to keep the project going. I thought this was the first real test in place in the ocean?

I dont think they have much. What they r doing is amazing, but people are not ready to invest much yet unfortunetly

I hope someone like bill gates funds them.

Elon Musk

I remember them being sponsored by MAERSK, also seen a lot in the video.

Pretty sure China should pay for all of it. Its almost all their trash. The unfortunate thing is they'll never stop.

Beautiful kind words, agree with you 🙂

yeah ofc, govermants will pay bilions and bilions and bilions and bilions ....

@@snowfuca what are you talking about?, governments have spent a couple of millions, not 'billions' as you claim. Governments spend a lot more money on a lot more worse things than ocean cleanup.

@@Siminfrance dont worry, this tube cleaning ocean is so stupid that it will got funding. I was ironical with those bilions.

​@@snowfuca I don't think you know/understand what irony means. Anyway, go trolling somewhere else, I don't feel like explaining everything to a kid.

@@Siminfrance it seems that many of your kind have the inteligence of somebody who is watching tv. And trolling means somebody who dare to speak truth. U will not deploy those tubes on thousands of km in the middle of the ocean.

Pray for us in America and pray that we Americans wake up because we are asleep and tell everybody in Russia to pray for the Americans we need your prayers

@@patrioticamerican8355 we too, brother

@@patrioticamerican8355 You don't need prayers... you need to wake up and stop allowing big business to use you like cattle.

@@patrioticamerican8355 You don't need thoughts and prayers. The unwoke in your country need a fork stuck up at their lazy asses to do something about this problem.

@@garry8390 Do you use plastics???

If you go to their website they give more information about the project and have an option to donate: www.theoceancleanup.com/support/ Been donating for a few years myself!

👌👌👌

I just donated, they absolutely deserve them for what they are doing

@@scoutfox4134 Thank you so much!

100! The media should be reporting these sorts of stories. Things with a lot of importance

Yeah, me too!

Really dam big I drop a penny off a boat a few years back and low and behold that penny washed up on a beach 3 years later.it was not me who found it but it's out there somewhere big ocean yes huge ocean yes

The ocean is tiny compared the the universe

Josh Lawesson well you just compared a tiny ass lizard with a fucking science fiction dragon weighing a billion pounds which feeds on nuclear reaction of helium and carbon atoms while swallowing whole stars for dinner.

To any good scientist there is no such thing as failure, because every test will give you results - even if you get results you don't expect, or results you did not want, they are still results and you learn. They will come back with System 002 and it'll be better :)

@@redactedrider7606 Learn something new each time!

That Guy fsecond and fthird

@PATRIOT MAN calm down there bud, it's called a joke.

@Mr Cabot what are you talking about? It was a joke. The other dude caught on

@@redactedrider7606 nope

Built

INDEED, BUT IT WILL TAKEN DOWN IN A DAY STARTING YESTRRDAY!

You could burn it in a day though.

TechTom 👏👏❤️

where can I donate to this project ?

@@vermorn www.theoceancleanup.com/support/

Exactly!

couldnt have said it better

I think so

They have marketing experts for that. They are a multi million dollar project that just failed miserably. Marketing is now all they have left. So sad.

@@AlexanderWunschik sure they have someone for that, they wouldn't necessarily have to make video out their failure and just keep communication to a minimum if they would want to hide their failure. It would be a failure in my eyes if they didnt report on it and have efforts to improve it. Woudnt you think?

​@@DavId-qz4ej Stop communication is not an option. They can't keep it secret that they had to tow-in there first, long awaited system in broken parts. The best thing they now can do is professional crisis communication: Confess (only) the mistakes/problems you can't deny. Make sure you communicated that you've learned something and all will be good soon. - That's exactly what this video was about. The main message from this and the last video was: "The system is installed but it is not able to collect garbage - and we have no idea why". That is why they still run tests even on the productive system that should already collect tons of plastic.

@@AlexanderWunschik Those are great arguments and sadly I agree that there certainly is truth to it. How would you suggest to go about failure in an authentic manner?

​@@DavId-qz4ej There is no other way to communicate failure if you are afraid of loosing funding and community support. I'm not even sure the realized there failure yet. Maybe they never will. Boyan is still communication over Twitter, that one single little engineering problem is enough to fail a system but it seams to me in reality the whole system is not functional. I'm sure the will loose funding soon and then we will see how they communicate that.

Patriotic American I wouldn’t say harder than getting to the moon by a long shot. You can always send boats to sweep up plastic but you can’t walk to the moon.

@@manit77 Harder, than a moon mission. Besides Apollo was a fraud. NASA is a fraud.

@@patrioticamerican8355 Yeah and Earth is donut shaped because my book says so.

@@patrioticamerican8355 I agreed with you until you said Apollo missions and NASA are frauds. Ignorance isn't good. Try to accept a fact.

@@ansh6370 Nobody went into outer space in the 1960s It was just a political fraud that they had to proport in order to have some consensus among the United States population that they were doing better than the Russians because Russia had put Sputnik in space again on man is just a device a satellite that was in orbit And the United States had to one-up over the Russians over the Sputnik so the Americans claimed that they not only put satellites into orbit but the United States also claim that it had put a human into orbit even before doing test with animals like dogs and monkeys and then the CIA needed to one up over that because United States has always wanted to claim World dominance and Global dominance especially after the success of World War II so now the United States had to say that not only it could reach the moon and orbit the Moon but it could land on the moon and walk around on the moon which is technically impossible with 1960s technology. Even by today's standards the Israelis just launched their Beresheet mission to the Moon, because Israel wanted to also claim that it had enough technology to land on the moon and this satellite was launched from California on a SpaceX rocket supposedly okay and one of the concerns that the Israeli scientist had was that once they landed on the moon when the surface of the Moon is facing the Sun the temperature on the moon is going to be so hot that it's going to degrade and destroy the electronics inside the little Moon probe and this is claimed just days ago by the Israeli scientist. So how exactly are you going to thermally protected human being on the moon exposed to very high temperatures of heat near what you would see inside your oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit or maybe higher and in the shade the temperature drops down to the temperatures you have in Antarctica which is -150 degrees Fahrenheit how are you going to create a suit to walk around in and a cooling system and a heating system for a human being that is adequate enough for a 500 degree Fahrenheit spread we just don't have technology like that even on Earth it's either one or the other but not both. So you need to do some research you need to find out what the reasons were for why the United States made such claims and before you start to contradict people's comments maybe those people know more than you okay so go do your research find out the truth it was a political gesture by John Kennedy to say that we were going to the Moon it was political it had nothing to do with technology. The other reason why NASA was created had again nothing to do with scientific value of going into outer space it was because they needed a politically correct and plausible deniability reason for them to build large Rockets but those Rockets really were intended to carry icbm's and nuclear bombs to blow up Russia in case there was a nuclear war with Russia they were trying to figure out how large of a rocket would you need for these large payloads and as technology improved the nuclear bombs became smaller because their efficiency had gone up so the Rockets could become smaller since the weight of the payload became smaller ultimately with that new technology they were able to put icbm's on submarines and that's why now we have nuclear submarines.

Yes

Who's God?

gods work would be killing humans

@Mr Cabot Hey! Just to tell you, I do my bit everyday and more so, bring about awareness in the lives of other people. I am just as passionate about the environment as them. If you wanna check out, I have a blog too, solely based on the harms of plastic @antidotehuman on Instagram. Hope you have a good day.

I just had it translated and I like the phrase!

MakeMeThinkAgain definitely a good idea for another project. The ocean cleanup’s goal is to clean up the plastic in the great Pacific garbage patch.

@@SamRommer The problem I see is that cleaning the garbage patches is an impossible task while reducing the amount of new plastic going into the patches is an easier task. You want to stop the leak before you start cleaning up the spill -- this project is going about it the wrong way.

MakeMeThinkAgain besides that, this is a poor design and I could see what was wrong with it in 5 minutes whereas these scientists are wasting tons of cash on film production and expensive dyes for current analysis. I simply cannot believe they didn’t think of putting some kind of fence on the thing to account for waves and plastic buildup.

@@ohokcool Still quite fond of my leak analogy. If you think mopping up the water before you stop the leak is a good idea, it goes without saying that you will not put that much thought into the best way to mop up, either. The other question is what do they propose to do with the plastic they collect. They may have covered this, I kind of lost interest when I realized it was such a waste of time and resources.

@@MakeMeThinkAgain There are thousands of rivers that lead to the ocean, but far fewer points where oceanic currents concentrate. It's not feasible to cover every river opening. Besides, if you actually paid attention, you would have realised this is just a test to develop a better solution.

It broke up in the ocean and failed to collect plastic, I would say it isn't "still going" exactly... ;)

@@toby4187 Don't be so hard on people the goal of what this team is trying to do is to save the planet we need to clean up the ocean and I suggest if you're a very smart guy why don't you go and join this clean up crew and help them to do a better job

@@patrioticamerican8355 Yeah, but just factually speaking the prototype was a failure. Why pretend otherwise? If it gathered valuable data, that's fine but why whitewash a failure into a success?

My apologizes, but i am still glad that they are still trying👍

@@GayestWinston They're working on one of the most difficult problems that has ever faced mankind other than to clean up the Fukushima nuclear reactor in Japan so please be patient with this team please support them give them your support give them your encouragement they are trying to clean the planet they're trying to clean the ocean with a tiny 300 M long robotic device and these people are trying very difficult to clean the pollution from the ocean they're sacrificing their lives in order to save the planet this these are the modern Heroes of our planet today so please be patient with them and give them your encouragement and your support
