Octotrash

Octotrash is an octopus that runs on biomass and has a conversion system in itself. It uses organic waste as fuel and when it is done sweeping the ocean floor it will go to the nearest recycling plant to dispose what it has collected. Instead of ink, the octopus distributes clean water and it's tentacles have sensors which detects trash. It uses the tentacles to grab the trash and avoids living organisms.

You have drawn such a fantastic octopus Danica! You have put lots of work into your invention and into thinking about how it works and what it does. Using waste as fuel and recycling it too is an eco-friendly way to handle pollution. I also really like that the octopus distributes clean water instead of ink, how clever! This is a super efficient invention Danica, very well done!
