In a TikTok video, Michael Konotey showed how his miniature recycling machine works when in water.
He put the machine in a river and when the sensor detects any foreign material in the water, it will pick it into storage where the waste will be kept until it is opened and removed.
According to Michael Konotey, it took him a month to build the recycling and waste-collecting machine. He indicated that the items he used for the product were wood, super glue, a microzone controller and a sensor.
The recycling and waste-collecting machine is not the only thing Michael Konotey has built. The young man has also made drones, a submarine to monitor water levels and miniature cars as part of his list of inventions.
