The chlorella algae is a quite underestimated future organism. Chlorella offers solutions for many areas of our lives. `algaQua´ is a lit up carafe device, designed for growing chlorella, a microalgae. This undemanding algae requires nothing but water, light and CO2 to grow. While exp anding quickly, it metabolizes these substances into v itamins, amino acids, fatty acids and oxygen.
Additionally to obtaining a high amount of nutrients, chlorella is said to have the ability to absorb toxins and transpor t them out of the body. The algae-water can be harvested daily by pouring out the water from into a glass. It is ready to drink! Besides of being a potent source of nutrients, chlorella is a potential resource for creating alternative fuel, power, heat and bioplastics. It requires little space, is fast growing and unlike soy and corn, does not compete with food production.
