The mission of Guyer Gyre Inc. is to help increase the quality of health in ocean environments through the development of innovative technology products, specifically our robot named GEORGE.
From our beginnings six years ago, our team and our surrounding have evolved. To begin, the team met in a small garage, but now, we are fortunate to work in a specialized lab. The incorporation uses the diverse talents of our staff through a wide range of positions. We value unique backgrounds, striving to represent many demographics. This year, our team has accomplished almost equally represented genders.
Currently, we are developing our project named Guyer Environmental-Oceanic Rejuvenation: Gyre Exterminator, also known as GEORGE. This product is able to collect waste, increasing the quality of oceans as habitats for marine life.
Guyer Gyre Cleanup is devoted to extracting plastic waste from the ocean in effort to decrease the amount of environmentally detrimental material. We are dedicated to removing harmful pollutants and constructing artificial reefs to increase the ecumene in the marine biosphere.
While plastic is nearly impossible to avoid in today's world, it's influence has caused several intense negative impacts on the environment. Every year, over 1.4 billion pounds of trash are thrown away into our ocean. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone contributes a startling 80,000 tons of plastic.
We believe that we can help, though.
Guyer Environmental Oceanic Rejuvenation: Gyre Exterminator, or GEORGE, is our innovative solution for the plastic problem in the world's oceans.
The robot's design has three integral parts: the base, the arm, and the scoop.
GEORGE is built on a light but sturdy base that maintains balance even when it has to traverse difficult terrain. Its relatively simple design is robust and offers stability for the complicated mechanisms of the arm and scoop.
The arm of the robot has a large reach that allows for a greater amount of material to be collected. It is composed of a material that is lightweight which allows for quick movements even with a large load being carried on the scoop.
One of the key components of GEORGE's design is the scoop. It allows for a greater amount of material to be collected while the efficient movement of the arm bolsters precision.
