reeds, the water runs down the steps and so
the reeds take out any dirt and the water can
be used again.
- Flamingo and Bidirectional turbine
- Based on the way a flamingo feeds,
BiomiVal has developed a
bidirectional turbine that can profit
from the great energy that comes
from the sea and show interesting
increases of energy profit.
- Bio-power and Under-water plants
- An Australian company Bio-power systems have

electricity.
- Cactus water and Cowboys
