VORTEX

It is by whirlpool that water cleans. This physical and non chemical cleaning up takes down solid waste, breaks down membranes, and prevent multiplication of toxic bacteria and dilutes polluants they contain.

Applications

In architecture, biologist and oceanographer John Todd studied wetlands and tidal pools in Massachusetts. John Todd and the New Alchemy Institute invented the Living Machines, which work like Nature. In a river, water becomes dynamic thanks to fluid vortexes, commonly called “whirlpools”. Theses natural spirals move forward and retract towards the back which breaks down molecular mass due to pollution. Thanks to a series of ponds containing different water ecosystems, the Living Machines clean up sewer water from human waste.
