Apparatus and method for cutting and harvesting infestations of aquatic vegetation and/or skimming algae/floting vegetation

摘要

A harvester and method for harvesting aquatic algae or floating vegetation in shallow areas of water bodies, such as lakes is described. The harvester is manually operated. The harvester moves on hollow wheels that are capable of adjusting the buoyancy of the harvester by adding or subtracting water/air into the hollow wheels. The aquatic algae or floating vegetation is collected on the harvester, removed from the harvester, dewatered and used for compost in garden and agricultural activities.
