19-year-old student creates design to clean up the ocean

The video discusses a floating device designed to remove over 7.25 million tons of plastic from the ocean. The Ocean Array platform uses ocean currents to collect trash with large booms and generates energy from solar panels and turbines. The design ensures that plastic is directed into the platform while safely releasing marine life.

What is the primary goal of the floating device discussed in the video?

• To eliminate plastic waste from oceans

• To improve ocean currents

• To generate renewable energy

• To study marine life

How does the Ocean Array platform collect trash?

• By using nets

• By using large booms and ocean currents

• By using underwater drones

• By attracting trash with magnets

What powers the Ocean Array platform?

• Solar panels and turbines

• Wind turbines

• Hydroelectric power

• Diesel engines

What happens to marine life when it enters the platform?

• It is relocated to a safer area

• It is released back into the ocean

• It is captured and studied

• It is used as a power source

What is the function of the booms on the Ocean Array platform?

• To generate energy

• To monitor ocean currents

• To anchor the platform

• To direct plastic trash into the platform
