Oleo Sponge Could Change The Way We Clean Up Oil Spills

[@inge76]

How is this not a huge thing?

[@christiancampbell1391]

Could be due to the magnetization of petroleum in 2012 if I recall. Applying the ferrofluid technology with petroleum has allowed for the same process to be done with the intent of cleaning below and above the surface of the ocean, or water in general.

[@staticshotaop561]

Christian Campbell what

[@SlowKlone]

YodaWithASoda oil is magnetized so cleanup is easier.

[@staticshotaop561]

Michael then why isn't it a huge thing

[@Alucard-gt1zf]

YodaWithASoda it is

[@ieatbees5738]

this is actually huge news! not only is that person gonna be rich but this'll help the earth so much holy shit this isnt just some invention this needs more attention

[@Pu3aisya]

SeleaneDoodlesALot true. I totally agree

[@maglig7501]

This is gonna be huge. He s gonna be rich

[@fatherofdragons5477]

I agree

[@ideallyjekyl5200]

Til oil dies off like it deserves to

[@aldoiniguez1532]

Ideally Jekyl that's when we all die

[@ideallyjekyl5200]

Aldo Iniguez Or when we wise up and start using the sun and it's absolutely unfathomable energy output.

[@notalexandermadaraplayrobl8547]

Ideally Jekyl@ The solar panels you're referring to don't produce nearly as much energy as you think. For every oil machinery used to make energy, there needs to be thousands of solar panels just to produce the same amount as energy as they do. We should use nuclear energy, it produces much more than oil/and or solar panels combined, and it's much safer.

[@whisperfox3064]

I thought is said Oreo sponge

[@brady8596]

Yea....my hats why I clicked

[@coolguy-cw7ng]

NoobDood that's why I clicked 2

[@d_wang9836]

Lone Pup Are you Japanese?

[@whisperfox3064]

Why do u think that

[@whisperfox3064]

And no

[@XxTearsforeverxX]

This is the kind of news I want to see. Not what some celebrity wore to yet another award show.

[@stephk6083]

Poot I never would've guessed by your profile picture. Oh the irony

[@lierrasilvan1509]

maybe he can also change it so that we can use it in homes like as a sponge to clean oily pans or even like an oil blotting sheet to remove oil from oily skin?

[@jupiter6628]

Bei Buzz too harsh for an oil blotting sheet, but it would be genius for home use.

[@berryblueish13]

Bei Buzz or we can try to reuse the oil from the spils to fuel other stuff

[@QuackZack]

you don't want this to rip the natural healthy oils from your face along with the excess oils you want to remove. Making this a skin care product is a no-go, dry and crackly skin is already a problem with the skin care products we already have.

[@manelcaaa4687]

Bei Buzz bruh...theres much more important things than your face care routines and some high tech cleaning gadgets

[@Karknakkers]

this could literally be a drastic change for the environment and you just want to make life easier?

[@Boadsy]

WOOOOOOOOOAH! FINALLY!!!

[@elitemation]

Boadsy damn no replies?

[@syd16packchicken]

I love all of the positivity in this comment section 🙃

[@explosivediarrhea8739]

Same! 🙃

[@mikan1998ful]

syd16packchicken don't go too deep do. There are real assholes below :)

[@dogemcdogeface7901]

syd16packchicken well get ready to be disappointed. you suck. you don't matter you're boring etc.

[@nettart4924]

Yup Soooo much positivity

[@lafeil]

That could help oceans and lakes

[@chickennugget8422]

lafeil that's the point

[@itzolive-a7502]

Your a genius my dude

[@jseyaaaa]

u just saved the world

[@tizianorecchioni8185]

nah dip, Sherlock

[@CupcakeSweet384]

Yeah! People would change ocean oil spills forever! (Also i was gonna say that.)

[@tamagoswirl]

This is gonna make a huge difference

[@rocioortiz8295]

[@goldenchimin684]

I thought it was oreo sponge

[@raychelbrown1303]

Golden Suga me too😂😂

[@xchinna]

Are you an army ?!?!!

[@plutonyx]

Chinz Thiru must be!

[@plutonyx]

Golden Chimin are you a km shipper??

[@poissonquifume]

Chinz Thiru Isn't that pretty obvious...

[@yhmsf5235]

really useful when theres oil spilling especially in the ocean

[@BltchErica]

no shit

[@michaelscott5950]

Mary Sascha Formentera Sherlock

[@Anonymous-le8mi]

Dumbass

[@onyxrevolution4575]

That's the point

[@fuego3974]

Wow you're pretty smart for thinking of that. Yay we now have something that is effective in cleaning oil in the ocean!

[@extinction3247]

thank god someone cares about the earth. Help the Earth!🌎

[@GamingSkiid]

Jack boris he saw a good way to make money and saw no one else did it so he was the first . He doesn't care about the earth only money

[@honeyno8444]

I think he cares about the business of taking care of the earth, you know? He knew it was going to be a win-win situation. Either way, most of the money that he would earn would go towards the manufacturing of these oils sponges as well hiring staff as well paying them. And of course, money for himself which isn't a bad thing.

[@kadenmontoya9126]

Skiid if it helps earth who cares if he's just in it for the money

[@ChungMyers]

Kaden Montoya At least he earns money from something that can save the world. Who cares if he's in it just for the money.

[@notalexandermadaraplayrobl8547]

Skiid@ So you're telling me that if you had the chance of inventing something really unique, you would sell it for free since you don't care about money? If so, kindly give all of your money to starving children, you heartless monster!

[@JoeMama-ll6bn]

Was that meant to be a pun... XD

[@itsw.intter2225]

Greatt! Now i just need 5 for my horribly oily skin😃

[@margohartley489]

so it's a shamwow for water

[@Idkwhat66]

Margo Hartley *oil

[@myleg...]

Margo Hartley ur a shamwow for making mistakes loooooool

[@janabroflovski2572]

Margo Hartley lol 😂 Shamwow my childhood 😢🙂

[@cup4042]

Shamwow! Its a sham!

[@Michaela-yh9sm]

shamwow doesn’t even work tho lmao

[@ichacicilia84]

FINALLY! An invention that is not useless!! 😊

[@powerplayer75]

"and manipulating the chemistry so that it loves oil and hates water." Wow what an in depth scientific explanation.

[@mchjsosde]

Johnny Nunya would a software company reveal every line of code and teach the public how to do it yourself? no! If you want to learn you look for the information yourself no one is going to hand it out like you earned it.

[@sin9186]

My speculation here, but I believe it's because oil is non polar so they meant be using a non polar substance to coat the sponge or something because in chemistry Polars dissolve/mix with other Polars and vice versa

[@arifanmoonlightroblox2230]

powerplayer75 hi

[@iforgotmybird144]

+powerplayer75 Well I mean I'm sure if you really wanted to know more you could look it up on google..

[@piapear560]

Considering, the concept of what makes a material hydrophobic and hydrophilic is relatively easy information to get in other forms, his explanation was enough. These videos are only a minute to three minutes long on average, so any other info was most likely edited out in favor of length and simplicity for everyone.

[@JohnRhobie]

i read it as oreo...

[@mrprussian1694]

1:08 Wow that's the most cientific thing i've ever heard

[@gottig9283]

The scientific term is hydrophobic and what he said is basically what it means so i don't think there was another way to put it lmao

[@21whichiswhich]

This is great.

[@OmfgTriplet]

this needs to go big

[@misseli922]

Makes me so happy!! Thank you genius

[@benidax3712]

DOES THIS MEAN ANIMALS WON'T BE CAUGHT IN OIL SPILLS ANYMORE?!?! :O

[@jules9299]

That's great! Not only will it help remove crude oil, but it's fast and easy.

[@mr.meeseeks5127]

Probably the best insider video yet. What an amazing, world changing product.

[@Pamven]

Someone worthy of my government's money. Heyy, at least he's actually helping the Earth. He's gonna win big, man.

[@minidwarfdude9230]

Is that like one big hydrophobic cloth?

[@makaylamcneill9596]

It makes me so happy that they would make this to keep the environment safe and the sea life

[@emilyhouse2479]

Watching this made me feel so good, finally an invention worth advertising!

[@SuimaZz]

Thats actually a really smart invention!! Pretty sure this is going to sell well so he'll probably become rich. This will be a great help to save oil pollution from spreading!

[@terriboyce8966]

This is wonderful! Don't forget small problems to. Think if there was a home or small business version. No more oil going down drains and gutters.

[@farinysabtu5349]

what will happen after the sponge is fully soaked with oil? how are they gonna dispose that?

[@jaesonmyfeet2214]

Wolfie Marlowe look at how they do it in the video

[@ASTRALCHAOS001]

They put the sponge through a rolling conveyor which will squeeze the oil out

[@ShinsRamyeon]

Maria Kotter Use it

[@ahmedelsheikh1987]

This is just amazing! Imagine how effectively this might work in saving thousands and thousands of marine lives.

[@emilycress2895]

this isn't new I did a presentation on this 2 years ago in speech, but it's still such a fantastic discovery and I'm so excited to see how it's used in a disaster

[@racheltan416]

brilliant

[@crisrose9707]

lets not forget this is a sponge so it can be compressed for storage!

[@deeznutz1608]

Hope more of these are used. That would help the environment a lot!! 🙂

[@Broccolaicy]

oh.. oleo... I definitely didn't press this because I thought it said "Oreo sponge". this is genius work.

[@corydo7816]

THIS IS SO GENUINE! I KNOW I SPELL THAT WORNG! BUT OMG THIS CAN SAVE OUR WORLD!!! WE NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS! INSTEAD OF JAKE PUAL OR CRINGE MEMES OR DABBING OR FIGET SPINNERS, WE SHOULD MAKE THIS AMAZING INVENTION HUGE IN 2018! LETS MAKE THIS YEAR THE BEST YEAR POSSIBLE! GIVE THIS COMMET A BIG THUMBS UP AND BE HAPPY! be positive, stay bright, become brighter. Be you, cause theres no one better then you, you are not better then anyone. BYE!

[@tizianorecchioni8185]

you need to learn more about english

[@tizianorecchioni8185]

yes

[@tizianorecchioni8185]

I can find like 5 times he used the wrong grammar or spelt a word wrong

[@tizianorecchioni8185]

But also its funny cause he spelt genuine right but did bad at other words.

[@AliPyro]

1. This is amazing and bless this man and his team for coming up and developing this product. This is truely an amazing way to help the earth and our sealife. 2. My fatass thought it was oreo sponge.

[@ryzen3827]

*The US Army needs this.*

[@smallbodybighead6]

So after the "aloe sponge" sucks up the "unwanted" oil were does the unwanted oil go🤔?

[@LetsBeClear87]

What are the long term effects of storing it squished? These companies would be more likely to use that as a fail safe if it’s not in the way. Or maybe it should be like defribulaters and made mandatory

[@supmydude823]

I wish this was the kind of stuff that made it to trending. It would reach so many people. SOMEBODY would HAVE to be able to do SOMETHING!

[@smolsmolfoodie]

Finally an invention that's actually useful.

[@sabrinasykes5480]

Finally!! I have been asking for something like this but just a different concept (but it's still an excellent concept) Question: Can you use it on food? reason being is that I want to eat fry foods without the oiliness, I know this may sound stupid but how much oil can paper towels take out? I think this would be great for foods also...

[@needle444]

When was this made? We already use a rag like this in our motorpool to separate oil from liquids.

[@SuperZcrazy]

I love this channel it brings so many insightful videos and makes me want to spread around the content it contains. Thank you and keep up the good work👍

[@parkerhein3378]

So once u ring out the oil from the sponge then where do u put it? (Considering they’re planning on cleaning up millions of gallons of spilled oil)

[@maggiem9555]

Loving that society is helping the world 😄💖

[@lisumaperaly4252]

How much can that sponge absorb vs cubic ft? Like does it need to be ginormous to clean an oil leak or can it absorb a ton of oil in a smaller size sponge?

[@KM____________]

Can you reuse it? I saw them pressing it but I don't know if it's reusable after pressing

[@unknownfan714]

So...what's the cost per oleo sponge? The production cost? What materials are being used to make it? Who are the workers making it? Where is it being manuefactured? What is the production process? Is it dangerous to the environment? (Merely curious, seeing as I didn't see that being mentioned anywhere. Someone tell me please if it was in the video or Extra research would be required...)

[@priyangigaur5579]

That is amazing. Oil spills are very harmful but this will bring a lot of change.

[@ndkalavathichandrashekar5066]

That is what we need thank you so much. If we use this we might change the water of the sea within a few years

[@immylyons]

This is so cool! I'm so glad they are inventing this new technology!

[@7GtwNYkHYs]

FUND IT Accident prevention is ideal but in the event of unseen circumstances, this is an environmental game changer. Looking at the damage modern oil spills have caused, I'm surprised to hear we haven't developed a product like this years ago.

[@insertnamehere8336]

How do you clean it? Where will you disperse it?

[@nrmacklin]

Seth Darling: genius, hero and owner of the smoooooothest voice I've ever heard lol

[@lleahssimone]

This is great, but how do they plan of disposing of the sponges?

[@colbixy6255]

But what happens after you've used them, Are they BioDegradable? What happens to the oil?

[@duckyopteryx]

they squeeze out the oil with a machine and use the oleo again. it probably isnt a one time use

[@hellcat1988]

If there is a way they could make this less dense, using it INSIDE the oil and fuel tanks (much like the foam anti-sloshing inserts in racing cars) of ships to prevent any kind of spill in the first place would be a better idea than trying to use it to clean up afterwards. Sure, you'd loose some capacity for carrying oil, but if it means you can crash a tanker and not loose any oil; it's a better option than what we have today. Getting the oil out of the sponges while in tanks would obviously present a problem, but I think that can be addressed by some kind of pneumatic or physical compression mechanism that would squeeze the sponge and release the oil into pickups for pumps or siphons.

[@AnimeManhwa]

Great Job :) This is one of the best inventions of this age.

[@christinatran3775]

This is incredible!!! HES GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD

[@hamsandwich405]

"The sponge works like a normal sponge but we changed it to suck up oil and not water" Great explanation...

[@sin9186]

My speculation here, but I believe it's because oil is non polar so they meant be using a non polar substance to coat the sponge or something because in chemistry Polars dissolve/mix with other Polars and vice versa

[@vyngo8218]

How come this hasn't been on the news ?!? Right now it's October and I haven't heard of it since,well now!!

[@thuy-anle1793]

Btw do u have textures for the sponge? Like..an OREO texture??

[@Samcanspam]

Oh my gosh I hope this becomes to GO-TO when oil spills

[@jasminmenzies9759]

Finally an idea were it can help clean up Oceans and lakes

[@thatonedudeattheparty]

THE ONLY INSIDER THING I HAVE LIKED AND SHARED.

[@rachealvenegas2132]

Why not utilize it now to get rid of the current Ocean oil spills we've already have had?

[@immaya05]

Finally!!! This is gonna make a big difference...

[@prettybitch7870]

Make a *Gigantic* version of that and put it on a big area of water and film what happens

[@hahalord7294]

But can it suck the oil from my face?

[@thesunsshininggrace514]

M'aiq the Liar lol what

[@thuy__]

Where can u donate money for these types of projects? Ill definitely support it!

[@ItsMeFern2019]

This is what gives me hope for humanity

[@jessiegrider529]

Can they strain and recyle the oil out of it?

[@gggg-jb2tv]

This is so usefull for Greece, now that that ship with oil sunk out and left the oil in the sea!

[@ramuneicepop6042]

For the home or for the earth, this is an invention that's would be useful anywhere so long as oil exists!

[@pxgao1158]

what about if use for industrial ?

[@Shazzkid]

So its a sponge sprayed with a hydrophobic coating like what i put on my Timberlands...

[@SuperNoobProdigy]

That's amazing, one step in the right direction!

[@SweetStar1908]

Every country should buy these!

[@ashtree8868]

This could seriously help the environment in some way

[@nemanjapraska7488]

I heard of oreo sponge its the same but you can eat it.Try it! and it's great taste!

[@Torporr]

Oh boy the U.S will love this

[@gryashno]

but where are you going to put the oil that is in the sponge

[@xxkillerklownxx3462]

Get this shit out there, this is something we actually need

[@yuh8946]

I wonder if they can use it for gas leaks

[@maliarodgersaz]

Finally we have somethin to help the ecosystem to thrive
