Remote Control Solar Powered Water Surface Waste Collector

[1] The increasing pollution of aquatic environments due to floating solid waste has emerged as a critical environmental issue, demanding efficient and sustainable cleaning solutions. Traditional manual and mechanical methods are limited in efficiency, coverage, and scalability. [2] This project introduces a remote-controlled solar-powered water surface waste, designed to autonomously clean and restore water surfaces using renewable energy. The system utilises solar panels as its primary energy source, ensuring continuous operation with minimal environmental impact. [3] A mechanical collection mechanism equipped with a conveyor assembly effectively gathers floating debris and surface.[4] Remote-control functionality enhances safety and operational flexibility, allowing real-time manoeuvring in polluted or inaccessible zones. [5] The entire design focuses on cost-effectiveness, portability, and energy efficiency, making it suitable for applications in lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and small water treatment facilities. [6] Experimental evaluation confirms that the system efficiently removes waste and oil contaminants under varying water conditions, demonstrating its reliability and sustainability. [7] The proposed model provides a practical and eco-friendly approach to surface water purification, contributing toward cleaner aquatic ecosystems and promoting the integration of renewable energy in environmental conservation technologies.
