Needed one of these when I was in the Navy... rather than a punt and a pry-bar. And, no, that's not an exaggeration or a joke, they put us over the side wearing a bulky Kapoc with a basic pry-bar you can purchase at Lowes, it was sometimes bound to a broom handle, we were in a punt being pulled along by deck-hands above; my ship was 887 feet long.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

@@gonnagetya1433 They can. Some ships are outfitted with a cathode (electrostatic) that in combination with the salt in the water forms a protective ion layer over the hull that prevents anything from bonding to it by having the cathode ions sacrifice themselves. Something like that. In any case, it exists. But it only works in salt water, not in sweet water.-edit- after looking it up, the system is called MGPS.

I always thought something exactly like this would work for tanker ship oil spills. If instead of water it shot some kind of resin that would stick to the outside of the hull and slowly make the hole smaller. Also I wonder if this could be deployed while sailing which would be pretty badass..?

[@s0nnyburnett]

ideas like that have been around in science fiction for decades.

[@cabbagecabbage5047]

I don't think the resin could stick to anything while the oil is actively gushing out from the hole. Instead you can check out the "Self-Sealing Fuel Tanks" used on aircraft. However I dont think the tankers would swap out their original tanks due to cost reasons.

You're right... we should put up fences in the ocean at 100 meters square to prevent ocean aquatic species transfer. Maybe we can do the same with the clouds to prevent cloud species transfer with moving weather systems and heat transfer of global warming. We should raise taxes for the middle class to pay for all of this too.

I don't wish to sound anti-tech, but why not just have a boat with a high pressure sprayer do the same thing?
