The Litter Picker Boat

Tommy

Age 9Hebburn, U.K.Mar 2023

It is for everybody to go on as a ride anytime, 20 people can get on it. It picks up litter everywhere and puts it in the back. It works using the wind, the wind pushes it along for 10 days straight. It moves when it is windy, the wind pushes it really hard and it also stored the energy so it can go even when the wind is low.

Little Inventors team says

Tommy, The Litter Picker Boat sounds like a really interesting invention. The boat can carry 20 people for 10 days and is powered by the wind, and it picks up litter in the sea. You said it is a ride, so I am ingraining that it is like a cruise. All the 20 people get to relax and have a great time on the boat, while also knowing that they are helping to clean up the seas and oceans by choosing to take that cruise rather than another one. I think that being able to store the excess energy produced by the wind is a great idea because it means that the boat and passengers will never be stranded. Great work, Tommy, keep on inventing!
