As with previous X PRIZE competitions, this one was intended to encourage private sector scientific research, by offering a cash prize to whichever team could best meet a given challenge. In this case, teams had to demonstrate a system of their own making, that could recover oil from a sea water surface at the highest Oil Recovery Rate (ORR) above 2,500 US gallons (9,463.5 liters) per minute, with an Oil Recovery Efficiency (ORE) of greater than 70 percent. Today, the winning teams were announced.</p> <div style="width: 530px; height: 409px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20131006180455/http://www.gizmag.com/oil-cleanup-x-challenge-winners/20141/picture/144668/" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131006180455im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/oilwinners-0.jpg" width="530" alt="An illustration of the first-placing winning Team Elastec/American Marine entry in the Wen..."/></a></div> <p>Taking the US$1million first prize was Team Elastec/American Marine, with an ORR of 4,670 gallons (17,678 liters) per minute and an ORE of 89.5 percent.
