Dati nang ginagamit ang buhok sa paglilinis ng oil spill.
'Yun nga lang mano-mano.
Kaya ilang grade 11 student ang nagdevelop ng paraan para gawin 'yang automated.
Tara, let's change the game at alamin kung paano 'yan gumagana.

00:00Before, hair was used to clean oil spills, but that was done manually.
00:16That's why some grade 11 students developed a way to make it automated.
00:21Come on, let's change the game and find out how it works.
00:26Our crowning glory.
00:31Aside from the possible benefits of wig and hair extension,
00:34it was used to clean oil spills.
00:38Level of re-usage of hair of humans and animals that have been studied
00:42has the ability to absorb fluids such as oil.
00:47No wonder why this unique hair force was found by some groups and volunteers
00:52to help in cleaning oil spills for 5 kids this July.
00:59But grade 11 students still want to improve that
01:02from Regional Science High School 3 in Olongapo City.
01:07That's why they developed Rapon Spill.
01:11An automated oil spill cleaning system.
01:14The usage of hair of humans and animals versus oil spill.
01:19No longer manually.
01:22We decided to create Rapon Spill because we wanted to introduce a more efficient
01:28and a more ecologically friendly solution to combat oil spill.
01:33The discovery that hair could collect oil was a breakthrough.
01:38But it was not safe because it uses manual labor.
01:41We thought that we could automate this process.
01:46We will show you how hair absorbs oil.
01:51This is called a hair ball.
01:55It is a smaller version of a hair boom that is placed in Rapon Spill.
02:01Instant absorption.
02:04Aside from hair that has an absorbent property,
02:07the prototype also has a distance sensor.
02:10It actually took us around 3 designs before we got to that product.
02:15Upon our testing, we calculated that it could collect 92.54% of the total oil content
02:26that we put in the mock oil spill.
02:31This is the frame.
02:33In the middle is the main chassis of Rapon Spill made out of acrylic glass.
02:38All the components are inside.
02:40The machines are in front of us.
02:42This is what they call a distance sensor.
02:45If it detects an obstacle in front of it, it will avoid it.
02:51We have two propellers here.
02:55It will detect movement.
02:57It is placed on a circular frame.
03:02This is what we call a hair boom.
03:05It rotates like this and absorbs the oil.
03:11A highly advanced innovation from our grade 11 students here in Olongapo City
03:16that can provide a solution to one of the biggest problems in our oceans.
03:21For GMA Integrated News, I am Martin Aviar.
