Hunhu Hwakanaka Balsa Strips kubva kuEcuador
Ochroma Pyramidale, inowanzo zivikanwa semuti we balsa, muti muhombe, unokura nekukurumidza wakaberekerwa kuAmerica. Ndiyo yega nhengo ye genus Ochroma. Zita rokuti balsa rinobva pashoko rechiSpanish rokuti "raft".
A deciduous angiosperm, Ochroma pyramidale inogona kukura kusvika 30m kureba, uye inorondedzerwa sehuni yakaoma kunyangwe huni pachayo ichinyanya kupfava; ndihwo huni hwakapfava hwekutengesa uye hunoshandiswa zvakanyanya nekuti huremu huremu.
Balsa Strips inogona kunamirwa mu balsa blocks anoshandiswa mumhepo turbine blades seyakakosha zvimiro zvemukati.
Balsa huni inowanzoshandiswa sechinhu chakakosha mumakombisi; semuenzaniso, mablades ematurbine mazhinji emhepo chikamu che balsa. End-grain balsa chinhu chinoyevedza chepakati pemashizha emhepo nekuti chakachipa uye chakakora zvakakwana kuti chipe simba rakakura kupfuura furo, hunhu hunonyanya kukosha muchikamu chakasimbiswa checylindrical mudzi weblade. Balsa huni shizha shizha rinochekwa kune dzakatarwa zviyero, zvakanamwa kana kerfed (pamwe neurefu nehupamhi, sezvakaratidzwa, kune akakoniwa curves) uye yobva yanyorwa uye yakaunganidzwa nepakati vatengesi mumakiti.
40% chete yehuwandu hwechidimbu che balsa chinhu chakasimba. Chikonzero nei ichigona kumira kureba uye chakasimba musango ndechokuti inozadzwa chaizvoizvo nemvura yakawanda, sevhiri rakazara nemhepo. Kana balsa yagadzirwa, matanda acho anoiswa muchoto uye anochengetwa imomo kwemavhiki maviri kuti abvise mvura yose yakawandisa. Mhepo turbine blades inogadzirwa kubva ku balsa huni iyo inoiswa sandwich pakati pezvimedu zviviri zvefiberglass. Kugadzirwa kwekutengesa, huni hunoomeswa-kuomeswa kwemavhiki maviri, ichisiya maseru asina buri uye asina chinhu. Iyo yakakura vhoriyamu-kusvika-pamusoro reshiyo yezvinoguma zvitete-madziro, masero asina chinhu anopa huni hwakaomeswa hukuru hwekusimba-ku-huremu reshiyo nekuti masero anowanzo mhepo.
