The title should be changed to "How Boyan Slat’s The Ocean Cleanup Overcame Its Initial Design Flaw"
I have finished watching this video completely.
(我看完這部影片了)
I am a Taiwanese who cares about the global affairs.
(我是一個關心全球事務的台灣人)
And, sadly, most of my fellow Taiwanese don't really care about the world.
(但是，很不幸地，我大部分的台灣同胞不那麼在意世界。)
Hopefully Taiwan can become increasingly globally-aware and globally-competitive.
(希望台灣可以越來越有全球意識與全球競爭力。)
God bless Taiwan.
(天佑台灣。)
@@aertybhujm1 thank you for being a righteous person. Your care for the the ocean matters, and will be a great influence to others to start caring as well. I am proud of you 🧡
@@missdavid8976 thank you for your recognition
Why does this video have such a negative and misleading title?
charlie grant Learn to read and understand social and cultural nuance.
It causes people to click more. Especially those who aren't sold on the idea and were expecting to see him fail. They click on the video seeking validation but are instead shown the amazing progress he's made.
"Clickbait"
NowThis is anti-Boyan Slat and pro-Greta because they are part of the lefty swamp. Slat can clean the ocean within 10-20 years without having the UN force ever country to increase taxes to pay for the green new deal. They want your money and keep you in a state of panic in which they want the ocean never to be fully cleaned.Which is why they are anti-Slat and pro Greta.
charlie grant Because he is to down to earth, level headed, with quiet common sense. He reminds them to much of your garden variety raised “Conservative Christian Boy.”
Great quote: "Bad designs get more complicated while good designs get simpler." So true! And a good way to evaluate a design in general. And yes, it is applicable to software too. As a software engineer, I can attest to this!
Boyan Slat，You are Amazing. The real hero. Thank you.
Someone please give this young man a Nobel Prize.
Thanks for your persistence, Boyan. Humanity and wildlife thank you! 🌎🌍🌏
this guy will be a legend. he had a dream and executed it.
In my mind (and heart), this guys already IS a legend.
The world needs more like him.
@Donald Kasper and that does not affect you because you happen to live elsewhere? Is that "elsewhere" not on the same planet?
The true INTJ grind set
Thank-you Boyan Slat for your vision and ingenuity to clean this worlds oceans and rivers! It is people like you that will change the world!
Great job man. Your doing a job the United nations should be doing. Keep up the great work bro not all great inventions worked at first. You will get there.
This man proves my point that most people have to be courageous and absolutely out of their minds to do something truly great. 👍
Thank you so much to all that have helped make this idea come to fruition! ❤
My teacher showed me one clip of this, You're really amazing, Boyan Slat!
Who cares about university, when you have a great idea like this.
jelle zaken Simplistic reactionism and judgmentalism. Not very conscious.
@SamuraiKage1 Hehe true,Steve Jobs had the idea but who made it real...
By the big numbers shown of what was spent, this is still about the cost of, what...barely more than half a dozen modern fighter jets! What will it take to bring the vast sums of money spent on world arms manufacture to actually support life rather than death?
you know that seems like the better choice, but it's not that easy since north Korea has joined the room, if they conquer the world it won't happen, they will dump all the plans for saving the world from pollution.
they will stop our power but this will come with many costs.
I do take your point...however after each international punch up or near punch up another bogeyman appears to the superpowers. Remember in the Pacific battlefront after WW2, thousands of tons of " surplus" jeeps, tanks & other armaments were dumped into the ocean, heedless of the marine life destroyed. All of the middle east battlefields are still littered with toxic garbage & we often get that " here we go again" sense of events for the future
@@FlatlandMando we can't just take their weapons too, let's say we could make anyone have no weapons, north korea will keep dumping weapons.. they will use nukes randomly or dump them because they will have no use for them. what can we do with this headache of dictator kim jong un...
anyway, here's what i'm suggesting, we can use the plastic we throw and stuff to make co2 filters for cars, and people can bring the co2 to the closest gas stations to be used for other things since we can't dump it again we can put it in other place ,i heard you can use it for beer, or blasting in the coal mines ...extinguishing fires caused by the warming of the earth (or just fires in general)..
uh, clearly you have not purchased any modern fighter jets recently.
FlatlandMando actually a lot of vehicles are good for the ocean as a lot of fish like to use them as shelter and as well as for coral reefs.
The title is quite is misleading. Btw I came here cos of Jordan b peterson
Same
hmmm yeah sorry pal, title is correct (although the video content is incorrect). It hasn't worked. Its failed. Google it and you'll see plenty of month old articles about hopes it will 'come back'.
Jordan Peterson's analysis of how to protect the environment is wrong. It is not through billionaire philanthropy and genius whizkids inventing super structures that mean no one has to give anything up. The only real assured way to protect the environment is through democracy. Taxing the rich to fund government regulation that substantially limits pollution. And yes that involves protesting, much to Jordan Peterson's horror.
@@jumboridesagain7336 Spece X had a lot of trouble succesfully launching their first rocket before they accomplished, thought to be impossible by many, stage booster landing, now a standard pocedure of every launch.
New ideas and technologies tend to not be easy in realization. New things have never been done before so there isn't much experience with them to lean on and unforseen issues tend to sprout along the way.
That the very first attempt underperformed is very much expected and it doesn't mean the whole project should be abandoned. It's very much acceptable considering it was a prototype. Prototypes are ment to reveal issues and mistakes in the design and deliver data about those and their performance so the can be improved upon.
Welcome to reality, nothing is perfect here but can be good enough with hard work and determination.
It is very missleading because it implies failure. The better title would be 'How Boyan Slat’s The Ocean Cleanup Was Changed By A Complication In Design'
Serafina that’s true!! Can take a while for things to get off the ground. Though I wouldn’t define amazing technology that defies our previously known reality as ‘reality’. I’d say it’s a miracle. But in any case, thanks for welcoming a mediocre mind like mine to ‘reality’ 😘
God bless this man. He is saving the world.
Some people are just born to do special things.. and Mr Boyan Slat is one of them.. my heartfelt gratitude to you and all the best of the best to you and your Crews.. Bravo Boyan 💕🍃🌍🍃💕👍😊💕
Thank you xx may God blessing your job, project!
See when people say university isn’t necessary for success. They mean people like Boyan, Steve Jobs etc. He’s using his immense knowledge and work ethic to do something innovative.
Hi I am from the Caribbean in the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago. I just to say I am amazed by your idea to keep the world cleaner, please keep it up. I wish I can make my country more aware of recycling and its importance.
Awesome idea, awesome concept, awesome endeavour for sure.
But we also need to tackle the other major component of this problem: people throwing out plastic senselessly in the first place.
We need to stop the flow of plastics out to sea in order for any clean up to be successful.
Look at their interceptor designs for 1% of rivers.
Keep going! The Ocean NEED YOU 🤞.!!
You are Great! absolutely you are a real hero as some already called you, and repeat it. Thank you for your persistent. You are amazing!
It hasn't failed, they aren't giving up and no one ever should consider stopping the race against time to clean the ocean
This is wonderful. Boyan Slat is a hero.
BLESS YOU BROTHER, I am proud to be alive while you are walking the planet, Thank you for taking the lead on this for us, I will do what i can, I will pray for your health, strength, will as well as your general desire to storm forward with all your ideas
TGC
Blessings in abundance
THANK YOU!
make adult sized lego blocks with the ocean plastic to build homes or shelter. a few different blocks makes a suitable house. sheets of plastic for roofing.
You always ROCK!!!
Another drop out changing the world... if you are a genius, you don't need school i guess, this kid saw a problem that everyone was pretty much just ignoring and set out to fix it, and he is doing a great job at it.
He is doing more for the environment to help us NOW and in the FUTURE, than the vast majority of people on this earth, including every world leader.
Enjoyed the clip, Do yu have organizations requiring the end scrap plastic? I have an idea I would love to Bounce off you. Excellent work, Great cause glad to see that you noticed when you did, things getting bad.
Freaking awesome!
The title was clickbait. This only talked about the idea which is fine but don’t clickbait in the title.
Boyan is my inspiration.
Os empreendedores da indústria do plástico necessitam de novas idéias. Porque o que temos hoje transforma se em um monstro intragável. 💡
This guy is amazing.
Умничка! Молодец! Спасибо!
Que maravilla!!
05032020 Question: What if the tube catch trash, and bail into floatable Bags to be picked up at anytime. So trash is bundled into larger portions, decreasing gathering time.
He who dare to sacrifice his life for the greater good, shall be forever remembered.
Congratulate!!!
You need to change the title - completely misleading!
Good inspiring in the world... From indonesian youth city center
I was thinking someone might find a way of Debunking Boyan's projects as too good to be true but thankfully no-one has yet.
I heard from other current videos that the net broke.
1:30 Turns out they were all right! Emily Watson has an interesting take. Ya'll should check out her video on the subject. 🤗
I have finished watching this video completely.

Let me begin by stating the obvious as to massive undertaking of such a project, but also as commendable and needed.
That said, the footprint created by recycling those plastics is immense, whereas manufacturers can obtain virgin plastic for so much less, creating cleaner overall products.
This and all the other groups involved in cleanup efforts are sorely needed.
The real game changer has to be a worldwide weaning off of plastics to other compostable materials to be used, especially in the packaging industry for starters.
Where are we going as a Planet if we are not committed to the removal of plastics from the stream at their point and source of origin?
It seems meaningless if on the one hand we cleanup a fraction of, while on the other hand produce so much more plastic waste?
I could not believe that they are going to put the plastic they collect back into the waste stream. What is the point, it's just going to end up in the ocean if they give it back to lazy consumers. We need solutions that get these products out of our production cycles.
are you sure that recycling plastic leaves a larger carbon footprint than virgin plastic? plus we can't just leave the plastic in the ocean either
The latest news seems to be that his system is not retaining plastic. It sounds like it's not working well.
How is ocean-plastic finally destroyed/got rid of?
Eres genial
this is how to live a life.
I just came here for a proyect from school I don’t care about the video lol
title is misleading
The first Now This video i didn't hate.
Like a boss
thats cool
there are more than 20 diff versions of cleanup ideas with investments of prob a billion $$$ . you could have just paid crews of people full time to skim oceans and rivers all the while supporting families. some times simplicity is sophisticated
The title is not accurate. This project was not "derailed" and Now This News should not suggest that it was. The project is still developing and making good progress. A title like this could make people skip watching the program because you've suggested that it failed. If I owned the company I would have been furious at this serious error and the bad press it represents.
The real Aguaman
What currency are we counting the dollars?
@ Boyan Slat, the plastic u collected and turning it into high quality product, amazing idea. But selling it back to the people who will throw them back to the ocean again. Better to turn those collected plastics to high quality product but heavy enough for these idiots buyers that makes them to think again until they learn throwing into the ocean is never the end of plastics.Thanks.
What about 4ocean they are cleaning the ocean and the beaches too.
I am literally in tears bro! Good ishh! I am building a company that I can see will make me quite rich, when that happens, I will see you out there with my money my friend! Let's make some changes! I'm not even going to do a shout out to my company lets make a change!
Don't give up.
They're fixed now
The title has nothing to do with the video.. what is the flawed design?
There are a number of issues which the video doesn't talk about for some reason. This December, after the video was posted, the company launched the thing and it quickly broke. There's a good write-up of the project by The Washington Post titled "Experts warned this floating garbage collector wouldn’t work. The ocean proved them right".
To summarize the kid being too full of himself from all the positive attention didn't listen to legit criticism by experts, and instead chose to waste people's time and money on a solution that probably will never work.
@@01296501923654 it's a good thing he didnt listen to those people as it is working now
@@jordanh4017 They have made progress which is of course great, but as they themselves acknowledge still have many issues to solve. My point was that they could have been further along in the development process by now and spent less of their money if they were more humble originally and listened to criticism.
I genuinely dont understand how those with clear hope and ambition are being confused with arrogant con artists...like what??
Vanity project
I prefer these videos over the constant narrative of how racist Trump is; something we've known for years before he campaigned.
In this video Boyan admits that it was interns that proposed the current design.
In this video, Boyan gives credit where it is due.
There needs to be government funded clean up machines on a large scale, but we know this will never happen
The Mighty Spoon Learn your history! You have citizen EMPOWERED responsibilities, if you do. Like pressuring your government to do the right thing.
TheGranti7a how is that anything to do with history you inbred cretin
The title is very missleading, it pretty much implies failure of the project. The better title would be 'How Boyan Slat’s The Ocean Cleanup Was Shaped By An Issue Of Design'
It actually failed tough. Water is complicated.
I suppose a clickbait-title like this generates more traffic. However the title doesn't match the contents of the video (at all).
If you try something that hasn't been done before, high chance that you fail many times.
Only in Star Trek everything works first time.
Try to keep getting famous celebrity sponsorship/ money. Celebs love to be associated with positive PR campaigns like this.
Click bait title
Actions speak lowder than words. even if Mr Slatt said no single word, he's done much more than that Greta kid

1st?
I am locked in a basement in des moines iowa
Are you trapped?
don't worry, you're not missing anything on the outside.
And now it has been shown that this project is an abysmal failure, a complete waste of money. Gee, if only this no-qualifications "innovator" had only brought on board some people who actually knew what they were doing.
How rich is this guy now off of this huge scam!?
How exactly has he changed the world?
not changed he is reversing what we humans have done to the ocean.. made it a garbage dump site!
@@birjub9647 No he isn't. All this project has done is create more pollution and not a single thing cleaned up in over a decade. Even if they had it just get's recycled and ends back up in the ocean. It's a bad idea from the start. And a failure.
@@forestdweller5581 Did you watch his presentation last year? the project is quite a success they are a year early then what they had predicted. They have already put up the 1st cleaning system in the ocean and they are currently testing it. All the garbage they pick up from the ocean will be recycled they already have plans for that. All this information is out for the public. Just have a look at it!
What a con artist
funny how you say it. what good have you done??
@@birjub9647 Oh man...SOOO much good! The good I've done...man... incalculable! Nah, he seems like a great guy with good intentions. I just think he should have listened to the oceanographers who said the money would be better spent elsewhere. I also dislike seeing the words "genius" and "wunderkind" thrown around so haphazardly.
@@Chrisdvc26 Did you see his presentation? they have already put one prototype in the ocean for ocean up :) Hes got a team of experts working with him doing research and fiend tests
@@birjub9647 It's failed and they had to resign yet again.
Now This…didn’t age well.
IM UNSUBING BECAUSE YOU DID THIS
problem 2:17 ..I could have told you that..in fact, ANY naval engineer cld have told you that.
"solution" 3:04 great that you admit that YOU were not the genius anyone here is pushing for.
But to collect garbage is to have RELATIVE different speeds between floating garbage and the u shaped collector. How is this accomplished with a flooating Ushape amongst floating smaller particles?
In fact the LARGE U shape is likely to go SLOWER in waves and current and wind than the smaller parts....but the U shape is thus WRONGLY put. 3:09
"gravitate " ?? It s not "plastic static electricity" of small plastic bags that can "pull" the large U shape? is it ?
The title was clickbait. This only talked about the idea which is fine but don’t clickbait in the title.
