_Kevin Costner may hold key to oil spill cleanup_

"The actor has invested 15 years and $24 million in a cleanup system
involving centrifugal oil separators. BP and the Coast Guard plan to
test six of the machines on the spill next week."

..."The machines are essentially like big vacuum cleaners, which sit on
barges and suck up oily water and spin it around at high speed,"
Houghtaling said. "On one side, it spits out pure oil, which can be
recovered. The other side spits out 99% pure water."
