Very long net held up by oil drums at one point and secured by oil drums filled with sand as anchors
Substitute oil drums with buoys and sand-filled oil drums with bags of rocks
Use two boats to drag a net through water to collect plastic at the surface
Vacuum System
Add system to prevent flora and fauna from entering
Add water pump to remove water from the system
Floating barrels that filter surface plastic
Add a component to let it move autonomously
Compressed air
Blade-less fan propulsion (i.e. Dyson blade-less fan)
Moving buckets on a line
Protected (caged) propeller
Add weight sensors to detect when the barrel needs to be emptied
Add pump to remove water from barrel
Helicopter with a big net catching plastic
Wave-maker that pushes plastic to shore for collection
Something to blow plastic to shore
Ocean drainage pipe that collects plastic like a shower drain
Rake
Giant Sieve
Plastic-digesting bacteria
