Abstract

A hybrid water filtering cleaning and quality monitoring device integrates multiple elements into one main system, including oil filtering, bacterial management, trash collection and water quality monitoring.

Claims (22)

1. A water filtration machine comprising:

a floating body comprising a water intake port, an antenna, and a stabilizer fin;

a filtering system located inside of said floating body;

a GPS located on a top front part of said floating body;

at least one flexible solar panel configured to cover a top part of said floating body:

a battery;

an electric engine capable of automatically adjusting its operating speed;

a retractable anchor;

an LED; and

a propulsion system;

wherein said water intake port is configured to be located below a water level, receive polluted water and pass said polluted water through said filter, and

wherein said filtering system conducts the active filter function.

2. A water filtration machine as recited by claim 1 , wherein said filter comprises a plurality of gradient densities.

3. A water filtration machine as recited by claim 1 , wherein said anchor is configured to be tied or tethered to a tree.

4. A water filtration machine as recited by claim 1 , wherein said anchor is configured to be tied or tethered to the bottom of a body of water.

5. A water filtration machine as recited by claim 1 , wherein said anchor is configured to be tied or tethered to any stationary object.

6. A passive water filtration machine comprising:

a floating anchored body;

an electric engine that activates a filter system, which also generates a propulsion system that is powered by a battery that is charged by a solar panel;

wherein said filtering system conducts the passive filter functions;

and an LED light that indicates the machine's filter condition, and

an anchor that maintains the machine steady in a water body system.
