Emilio has seen all the polluted beaches, and he didn’t like that sight. That’s why he invented the world’s first plastic swallower. With it you can dissolve garbage, especially plastic garbage, within a few minutes. This could make the environment cleaner again.
Emilio describes his invention:
The Plastic Gulper works by using special acids and environmentally friendly chemicals. If the plastic swallower can be sold in large quantities, nature would have more space again.
The effect is based on acids and substances such as gas, hydrochloric acid and others. There is a stabilized net built in. Through the net, the acids are heated and thus become a spray during a certain process.
The motor is installed outside and is powered by batteries or sometimes air. The bottle that contains the spray is oval shaped. The tube through which the spray is sprayed is usually a few millimeters to a centimeter.
The process consists of shaking substances and acids and “infecting” them in a container. Through friction and heat, this becomes the spray. You only have to press the lever once, and the plastic dissolves within five minutes. A stabilizing net controls the process. The Zumulus is also a mixture of chemicals that helps create the spray.
World’s first plastic swallower received the Young Creatives Award of Distinction in the u10-create your world category at the Prix Ars Electronica 2021.
