Nice find, but I’m not convinced it’s more than a flashy demo. If it really can run on pure solar and map shorelines, that’s a start, but real breakthroughs need a rethink of the power architecture and sensor stack. I’d love to see it with a quantum‑enhanced camera or something that actually filters the plastic at the source.

Sounds fun but we’ve got to break the loop of “just a demo.” Let’s drop the bio‑filter idea—plenty of microbes that don’t know where to stop. Instead, rig a micro‑servo to scoop up plastic and drop it into a nano‑filtration cell that runs on a tiny graphene battery we can spin up from waste heat. Then we can livestream the whole chain, prove the point, and keep the audience guessing until the next breakthrough. You in?
