Thanks to Kevin Costner, the star of Waterworld and hollywood celebrity.

His team of designers invented the machine after purchasing the technology from the US Government, after no other company showed interest. The machine that separates water from oil.

Apparently they have about 300 machines, the largest can filter through about 200 gallons a minute, enough of these machines can make a substantial difference. The 200 gallons a day equals about 210,00 gallons of oil per day!  This is huge and badly needed to mitigate what could be a long term devastating to the region.

Costner is quoted: “I’m just really happy that the light of day has come to this,” Costner said. “It’s prepared to go out and solve problems, not talk about them.”
