kevin Los Angeles, Jun 20 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Kevin Costner hopes that his dream machine would help in the BP Oil Spill. He debuted with his dream machine on Friday, which separates the oil from the water.

He demonstrated his machine in Port Fourchon in southern Louisiana, and the oil giant BP is going to take the aid of 32 such machines in their endeavor to fight the ballooning spill. BP has signed a deal with Kevin Costner’s company – Ocean Therapy Solutions.

Within the next 2 months, Ocean Therapy Solutions has promised to provide BP with 32 machines. The cost of the machines was not disclosed by either BP or Kevin Costner. BP’s Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles refused steadfastly to talk about the financial implications of the deal.

Kevin Costner said that, “At its core, my dream, this machine, was designed … to give us a fighting chance to fight back the oil that’s got us by the throat. When you are in a fight, anybody knows you go to confront it right where it is. You don’t wait for it to come to your door”. Kevin also added that the machine is called V20, and it is capable of separating 210,000 gallons of oily water in a day.
