Waterbike
Interactive floating kinetic sculpture. While participants ride the Waterbike, it generates sufficient energy to pump the water to be purified by a hydraulic system composed with living bacteria. These bacteria are fed on the organic materials found in water, that are one of the leading causes of water pollution.
