OceanLungs
Inspired by human lungs, our solar-powered robot filters pollutants and restores oxygen to aquatic ecosystems.
Restoring the pulse of fragile water bodies
Water bodies worldwide suffer from severe pollution and suffocating oxygen loss. Conventional cleanup systems collect floating garbage but neglect the ecological damage beneath the surface. OceanLungs was developed by the Emerald House team to bridge that missing gap.
Core Challenges Identified
Rising pollution
Plastics, industrial run-off, and suspended debris are flooding global aquatic ecosystems at unprecedented levels.
Falling oxygen
Critical depletion of dissolved oxygen produces dead zones where fish, plants, and native microorganisms cannot survive.
A gap in solutions
Conventional systems stop at surface skims; they never aerate, balance water chemistry, or help ecosystems regenerate.
How OceanLungs Restores Water
Inhale
The system draws polluted water into the internal chamber, initiating the restoration process.
Filter
Mesh, carbon, and sponge layers trap microplastics, debris, and harmful pollutants.
Aerate
The system infuses the water with vital oxygen, improving quality for aquatic life.
Monitor
Sensors track water quality in real-time, ensuring the water is safe for release.
