Benefits of technology
The invention is about a pollutant containment device that includes multiple cans arranged in a circle. Each can has a male end with a bulbous element, a female end with an indented receiving element for connecting with the male end of another can, and a hollow interior with a baffle and a float space. The cans also have cable connectors on the exterior for connecting to other devices. A fabric is used to connect the cans at a junction, and multiple connecting cables are used to connect each can to at least two other cans. An anchor is used to secure the cans in place. The technical effects of this invention include improved pollutant containment and protection against weather and other environmental factors.
Problems solved by technology
The recent increased demand for fossil fuels, including crude oil, has also increased the danger to man and the environment resulting from oil exploration and shipment.
In particular, the new technique for deepwater drilling (such as to depths of 40,000 feet) creates great temperature and pressure strain on equipment.
The great depths and strain naturally cause failure and other catastrophic events which result in the accidental release of large amounts of oil into the environment with very harmful consequences.

The present disclosure provides a pollutant containment can, including a cylindrical shaped body with a hollow interior; a male end comprising a bulbous element with a durable coating; a female end of comprising an indented receiving element with a durable coating adapted to connect with the bulbous element of the male end of a separate can; an internal baffle located in the interior of the body; a float space located in the interior of the body, where the volume of the float space is 1%-40% of a total interior volume of the body; and multiple cable connectors located on the exterior or the body for connecting the can with other devices.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 520,936 filed Jun. 17, 2011 entitled “Schell Trap Answer.”FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates generally to an apparatus for containing, controlling and remediating pollutants floating on a surface of a body of water. In one embodiment, the pollutants may be present on the surface of the body of water as a result of an oil spill or other catastrophic event such as an explosion at an oil drilling facility.BACKGROUND ART[0003]The recent increased demand for fossil fuels, including crude oil, has also increased the danger to man and the environment resulting from oil exploration and shipment. In particular, the new technique for deepwater drilling (such as to depths of 40,000 feet) creates great temperature and pressure strain on equipment. The great depths and strain naturally cause failure and other catastrophic events which result in ...
