Project Outcome: Model of submarine
Project Description: This project aimed to investigate the impact of plastic debris on the buoyancy and functioning of underwater vehicles, particularly submarines. Accumulation of plastic waste in oceans not only poses a threat to marine ecosystems but also affects the maneuverability and stability of submarines by altering water density and creating physical obstructions. The project explored these challenges in depth and further focused on designing a prototype of an automated, self-operating cleaning boat capable of detecting and removing plastic debris from water bodies without the need for human supervision. By addressing both the problem and a practical solution, the initiative contributed to cleaner aquatic environments and safer operation of underwater vessels.
