Bio-Sphere

David Fernando Báez Prada & Martha Bautista Fajardo - Colombia
 

This is Bio-sphere, an autotroph oxigen generator, designed to be dropped at contaminated water sourcers and/or to be left in poor soils in order to regenerate them with some protobacteries (Dechloromonas, Dechlorosoma, Dechlorospirillum and Dechloromarinus) while them clean soils and waters by eating toxic components in the soils or waters, it generates oxigen and spreads in those enviroments, creating a new ecosystems and allowing flora and fauna to grow again.

In presens of sodium clorithe (waste generated by paper industry), acetate, nylon and CO2, protobacteria doesnt need O2 too grow, and will generate O2 faster than without this elements. By the way sodium clorithe is one of the waste generated by paper industry, so Bio-Sphere is also an alternative to get rid (in an ecological way) of this waste. Compost is the product of the controlled degradation of organic waste and is good for soils, micro-organisms because it contains big quantities of Nitrogen, and humus.

The design concept for this proyect was developed thinking in the cyclic way of develop of our planet, called the biosphere after the life that are keep on it. The main container (blue and orange demi-spheres) represents Earth itself and the cover demi-sphere(green one) represents the atmosphere. The elements that helps life to grow inside it. And what is the bassis in this cyclic system of life? The autotroph beings doesnt need more food than CO2 for example to produce O2 and other basic elements that feed bigger species. Protobacteria is one of the kind.
