Ever hear of something called a grease and oil trap ? better look it up

This is using the same concept

It does not take a rocket scientist to make one. Even a young kid could tell you that oil floats (just based off that is how a grease and oil trap was designed).

Better take your own advice and check your facts before posting

A Taiwanese-flagged vessel, named “A Whale,” which is 3 1/2 football fields long and looms 10 stories high – outfitted with 12 vents on either side of its bow, which experts hope will be able to suck up as many as 21 million gallons of oil-tainted water each day in the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster – has offered its services in the attempted clean up.

So will the President Kick Ass and get the permissions needed expediated?

This is not a Japanese vessel . . it is Taiwanese . . it has never been used as a skimmer, and has merely had slits cut in its hull with a cockeyed idea that it will somehow work. Legitimate engineers and maritime folks make it clear that this is a wild idea by the ship’s Taiwanese owner who has no scientific background whatsoever. He’s is after some of the BP handouts. Check your facts before posting this partisan pap.
