Protei, 2011
The explosion on British Petroleum’s oil platform, “Deepwater Horizon” in the Gulf of Mexico, on 20 April 2010, caused the most devastating environmental event in the history of the United States. At the time, Cesar Harada, a MIT project leader, left Boston and moved to New Orleans to envision Protei, an oil collecting fleet of sailing drones as part of his larger Open_Sailing project and community. The latter is an international community working to develop the International_Ocean_Station as an open-source project, developing hardware and software to enable intelligent human activities at sea. The project, begun as an apocalyptic design response unit, has evolved into a voluntary experimental community of passionate amateurs, creatives, explorers, inventors and scientists. Protei is one of its projects.
Protei is a fleet of autonomous sailing robots engineered to clean oil spills at sea by towing a long, absorbent boom. The idea is considered on the premise that oil spilled at sea drifts downwind, thus the most efficient way of collecting the oil is to sail upwind into it having the greatest potential for collection. Since Protei are unmanned, human health is no longer a risk. Furthermore, their autonomy allows them to operate continuously at a very low cost, in rough weather and far from the shore — three major factors that presently inhibit typical oil clean-up. They are hurricane-ready, self-righting, unbreakable, cheap and easy to manufacture and ready for immediate deployment.
The ingenuity behind Protei, as a creative, engineering feat of simplicity, is its malleability, following the etymology of the word, which can refer to the blind, long, white salamander that has acute senses for smell and hearing, or to the Greek god, Protean, who was known for his capability to assume many forms, to be mutable. In that lineage, Protei has the capability for other applications, such as plastic debris collection in the oceans, radioactivity sensing, physical oceanography and much more. Furthermore, all of the components and designs are open source, following the Protei theme, such that Protei can be developed, reproduced and modified by anyone, for free.
Protei, and Open_Sailing, seeks to address the increasing societal impact and threat it marks on the environment, and hence itself. Because of this situation, it has become necessary to develop and test environmental monitoring and cleaning technologies that do not at the same time endanger human health. Protei does this by working remotely, using forces of nature to gather energy and loco mote while collecting or monitoring hazardous pollutants, as in the first particular case, oil. Yet this is only its initial and immediate application, as an open project, the applications, developments and benefits of this articulated, autonomous sailboat become endless. Contribute — all are invited.
Open_Sailing / Protei
Protei is developed by an open community of engineers, designers, sailors, and scientists from the US, UK, France, Netherlands, Korea, Germany, Mexico, Chile, China, Korea, El Salvador, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, Norway and many more. Led by Inventor Cesar Harada (FR, JP) the growing Protei community is grounded in academia as well as in the non-profit, profit and open hardware community enabling a rapid development of science, technology and fabrication. Anyone can join Open_Sailing and contribute to Protei and other Ocean technology projects.
