DESIGN OF A FLOATING TRASH COLLECTOR BIKE USING HAND-PADDLE

Abstract

Environmental contamination is a problem that is challenging to resolve, as we are all aware. The issue of water pollution is one of the pollution issues that requires attention. As a result, the authorities have taken several actions, including establishing trash vessels. This vessel, however, cannot be used in confined spaces. The goal of this project is to create a new floating module that are not useful in places where diesel engines or electric motors are not permitted due to pollution or noise. The Floating Trash Collector Bicycle is a floating object that uses a conveyor to gather rubbish or waste and manpower to locomote the vessel. The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method was used in the development of this module. Although, the Interceptor 004 and Mr. Trash Wheel are two examples of these trash collector devices that are often huge in size. The goal of this project is to create a smaller floating module with the same purpose as the Interceptor 004 and Mr. Trash Wheel, but with advantages in smaller bodies of water like ponds or lakes.
