Judith Question - In order to convert the plastic from the PGP - do you have to dry it out somewhat to avoid problems during the process?

John Bordynuik Well, water entering the reactor would cause it to use more energy. We will know more when we are there. The trip is to gather information and test what we have. We know some of the variables so I am planning for a productive trip.

The PACIFIC Garbage Patch
John Bordynuik I had a cc with Rick Heddle , Moneyhan, Scott (p2o) at noon about marine P2O and I have an idea... A well known non profit would like to charter a ship and our captain to go to the PACIFIC garbage patch with a documentary crew and collect large samples of plastic for research. We would bring a P2O processor and analysis equipment to test. They are fully financed so there is no cost to the us (at this time). We are focused on P2O (for profit) but situations like this clearly benefit the company, shareholders and the environment. Would you have time to create a t-shirt for the PGP and our work collectively (non profit & us)? I see it as a way for them to raise more capital and create awareness.

John Bordynuik It's no problem in working this out.. it's just with who and when. Rick Heddle is firmly committed and so is Mike. We want to time our efforts in the PGP in such a way to maximize success with the right 3rd parties.

John Bordynuik We are well aware of many patches. Mike Moneyhan has sailed through a few of them in the Caribbean. The PACIFIC garbage patch offers plastic as deep as 20-30' and it is growing. I wish to emphasize that P2O ships are for supporting International P2O conversion and trade, not the garbage patch. A separate ship would be retrofitted for the garbage patch due to feedstock acquisition (ie: shredded and loaded from a port vs. a mix of junk of varying sizes with salt water from the ocean).
