NOVELTY - The system comprises a material (101) for collecting matter, a medium (121), an extractor, a container, a shape comprising a second surface, a reinforcement fiber and a surface reinforcement, a moving mechanism, and a boat. The material has a first surface and a fiber that projects outward from the first surface, comprises hydrophilic, hydrophobic, oleophilic and/or oleophobic, is constructed from a substance, and has a shape consisting of a single strip, a belt, a sheet, a hooped portion, an elongated portion and a stack. The fiber is a cut fiber and a looped fiber.    USE - The system is useful for: active and passive collecting suspended matter such as oil, bitumen, water, tar sands, silt and sand; and for extracting suspended matter in a medium (all claimed) for water purification and/or petroleum refining, where the suspended matter includes algae, bacteria, ethane, hexanol, nitrates, phosphates, benzene, lead, mercury, cadmium, iron, aluminum and arsenic and the medium is a liquid medium, fresh water aqueous medium and non-aqueous medium.    ADVANTAGE - The system is capable of easily, economically and efficiently collecting the suspended matter in an environmentally friendly viable manner with reduced energy consumption and without pollutants and need for any chemicals and additional equipments.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The system comprises a material (101) for collecting matter, a medium (121), an extractor, a container, a shape comprising a second surface, a reinforcement fiber and a surface reinforcement, a moving mechanism, and a boat. The material has a first surface and a fiber that projects outward from the first surface, comprises hydrophilic, hydrophobic, oleophilic and/or oleophobic, is constructed from a substance, and has a shape consisting of a single strip, a belt, a sheet, a hooped portion, an elongated portion and a stack. The fiber is a cut fiber and a looped fiber. The medium comprises fresh water, brackish water, salt water, marine water, briny water, commercial waste water, residential waste water, agricultural waste water, oil and bituminous sands. The extractor consists of an orifice, a belt roller, a funnel, a vacuum, a scraper, a nested roller, an electric charge, a spinner, a human hand, a vibrator, a steamer and a heater. The container consists of a barrel, a box, a trough, a hopper, a tube, a pipe, a tray, a bucket and a bladder. The boat has a material, a container and an extractor. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method of collecting and extracting suspended matter.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The diagram shows a schematic view of a system for collecting matter.
