Development of a floatation platform for a water trash collector / Muhamad Aidil Irfan Mat Nawi

Our world is facing a major problem which is water pollution. Based on study, plastic is the main reason to this pollution. But there is still minimal amount of effort by society to clean the river due to lack of awareness. There is also low amount of water trash collector product are developed in the country. The objectives are to design a floatation platform of water trash collector and to fabricate and develop a working prototype of water trash collector floatation platform. While for scope of project, the design should be large enough to accommodate the water propeller, conveyor belt and the storage tank to fit in it. Furthermore, the design of the platform is based on the capability of the researcher to fabricate the platform in the UiTM Labs. Moreover, the design is limited to a 1 m length to be used in pond. For methodology, students are started with designing 3 sketches design and choose the best design that can fit with the scope of work. Then, the fabrication process also needs to be stated to ease students to make a prototype based on their list of fabrication process. The expected result that designs proposed can carry up to 5kg of trash. This project will give many benefits to the society such as be a good assistance to relieve physical labour on garbage cleaning task. As conclusion, a newly design of water trash collector are expected can be used widely around the country to clean the pond and river for a healthy water resource for society and mother nature
