Not that heavy. . . I might see it per year, 45,000 metric tons a day is equivalent of the displacement of a US Navy Nuclear Aircraft Carrier every two days. . . and they'd have to haul that pile of rubbish away each and every day.
How many dump truck loads a day? Let's see. Dump trucks usually handle 6 cubic meters (which is convenient for our calculation). . . Which would weigh 1000 kilograms per cubic meter if it were pure water. But since this trash is made of miscellaneous water-soaked debris that floats on water, let's estimate it at a lighter 750 Kgms per cubic meter. Therefore, each dump truck could carry (6 x 750 Kilograms = ) 4.5 metric tons of the 45,000 tons scooped up by this water wheel waste system each day. Ergo, It would take 1,000 dump truck round trips to the land fill per day to handle the detritus collected by this device.
Oh, and think about this. There are 86,400 second in 24 hours. 86,400 second divided by 45,000 metric tons equals one metric ton every 1.92 seconds. Is this flotsam crowding and jostling for position in a desperate dash to be picked up? A truck has to be loaded and move out approximately every 9 seconds. . . 24/7. Powered by water and solar?
Yeah, sure. I smell fraud.
Dats a wholottatrash!
