Lucian Imwalle, a local 8th grader approached the Waterford Foundation to test his invention on our Phillips Farm property! Lucian's invention is designed to clean up creeks, and he hopes to be able to test it at multiple locations in Loudoun.
In this video, you can see Lucian with his installed trash collector and you can see it in action! Lucian was excited to share his findings with us:
'The booms (oil absorption and containment devices) I used were the perfect length and were able to soak up lots of sludge from the water, while not soaking up the water itself. I originally thought the basket I used would be too heavy, but I found that the booms were able to support the basket along with pool noodles.
My invention stayed in place and functioned properly for the duration of the one-week test period. It collected plastic bottles, a fishing lure, and some paper/cardboard trash. At the end of the test period, I was able to remove the trap without leaving a trace. '
Thanks, Lucian for caring about the preservation of our open spaces and watershed, we hope you get to test and eventually install your invention everywhere!
