This is the next generation of oil remediation.  It is useful for stationary collection (i.e. harbors, and shoreline) or can be floated within an open ocean/lake spill area and also drift with the contamination field.  The unique gimbaled design maintains a level and flat surface for collecting any floating liquid.  This design also restricts floating debris from entering the collection area.  When laid out in a continuous grid, utilizing Fluid Pumps patent# 6,435,849 and Liquid Separator patent# 6,368,498 and a floating bladder, this apparatus will work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using only natural forces without outside energy such as electricity, gas, diesel, etc.  This also can be used in conjunction with other pumps.
