CleanCat
is an innovative solar-electric powered,
remote controlled catamaran, which skims
on the water collecting floating debris.
The 5 m long catamaran has a maximum speed
of 3 knot. The vessel can operate closest
to the shore. The debris float onto a conveyor,
which then moves up into the trash net
inside the trash bin located at the aft.
The trash net enables easy removal of collected
trash. Any one with less than an hour of
training can operate the vessel having
a radio control range of 400 m.
The
vessel has been tested in sheltered seawater
and the test results are extremely satisfactory.
Primarily meant for the rivers, this design
can be easily modified to suit different
operational requirements e.g. cleaning
reservoirs, ports etc.
