Protecting our mangrove forests
In Siyu village, on Pate Island, part of the Lamu archipelago which is home to over 60% of Kenya's mangroves, the community and Flipflopi have come together to restore the ecosystem thanks to support from CMA CGM.
Siyu dates back to the 15th century and was once a thriving kingdom but now remains neglected. Our macrolitter study showed that some mangrove hotspots in this region receive up to 15 tonnes of plastic waste annually. This enormous build up of plastics is threatening this critical ecosystem and we are finding an overwhelming amount of waste scattered through the forests.
In less than twelve months, we’ve removed 30 tons of waste from the mangroves and replanted almost 9000 seedlin...

Join us and support our work as a Flipflopi patron ♥️ www.patreon.com/theflipflopi One of the last but most important steps before bringing a boat onto the water: SEALING. The common/traditional technique is with "kalafati" (cotton material) that is stuffed in between the planks. The new technique we're piloting on our recycled plastic boats: PLASTIC WELDING. This is quite a process, especially...

    Great experiment but material quality is your problem. Hope that is rectified and your boat is a leader in boat construction.

    Thd ribs and frame are way more dense and heavier than wood, therefore you must reduce the thickness of every one.

    9:13 Most traditional sailing boats and cargo ships had ballast stone in the bottom and cargo is loaded loaded evenly and as low in the hull as possible so this never happens.

    Hope you didn't pay much for that plasma cutting? Old mate controlling the height was unique but the cut's were terrible.. Although, can't expect a perfect job from from a homemade 'plasma table'. He was obviously, looking at the ground clamp, using a very cheap plasma torch..? Table was built well though besides the ability to control the height.

    Design idea: (actually, two, which will depend on your system design intent) 1) The focal point will tend to spot heat, so instead of projecting directly onto the rib form, create a larger outer round tube onto which the focal area will project, with the form tube placed inside of, and offset away from the focal point, and interstitial void filled with oil, so the oil will be directly heated by the focal point, and distribute the heat uniformly across the inner form tube, basically a tube within a tube with the center tube open at the ends. 2) Perhaps even better, use only the focal point tube, without an inner tube, filled with oil, themostatically circulated via hydraulic hose to an insulated reservoir tank, from which hoses distribute the heated oil to 'jacket' of the mold, which would allow you to create any shape you want, or just heat beams for softening for bending, 'remotely'. This way your 'parts' need not be positioned at the focus, but perhaps on a table or the ground. You would have to allow for a bit of expansion in the system, but a coil of 19mm copper tubing is cheap on Amazon. That way you use your reflector 'thing' to heat the oil, transfer the oil to mold with a 'jacket', and you could have a huge, long reflector, and direct the heat where you need it, via the oil, while upping your overall thermal mass.

    1 in 5 fish has plastic in their guts Solution let’s make all the boats from plastic and get the number to 2 in 5 Imagine if every shipwreck was a plastic boat Then we have the minister for tourism in 1 of your vids explaining how his dirty plastic filled country will be fixed if the lodges don’t use plastic because yea it’s the tourists fault all the plastic in every back ally and street and beach that’s all the tourists that btw spend almost 0 time away from the lodge. How many tourists is Kenya having 50billion a year ? Liberal whites saving the planet😢 help us all we are doomed and channels like this have good intentions but make all the problems so much worse.
