Inzira nziza ya Balsa kuva muri uquateur
Ochroma Pyramidale, bakunze kwita igiti cya balsa, ni igiti kinini, gikura vuba kavukire muri Amerika. Numunyamuryango wenyine wubwoko bwa Ochroma. Izina balsa rikomoka ku ijambo ry'Icyesipanyoli risobanura "raft".
Angiosperm ifite amababi, Ochroma pyramidale irashobora gukura kugera kuri 30m z'uburebure, kandi ishyirwa mubiti nkigiti nubwo igiti ubwacyo cyoroshye cyane; t nigiti cyoroshye cyubucuruzi kandi gikoreshwa cyane kuko gifite uburemere bworoshye.
Imipira ya Balsa irashobora gufatirwa mubice bya balsa bikoreshwa mumashanyarazi ya turbine nkibikoresho byingenzi byubaka.
Ibiti bya Balsa bikunze gukoreshwa nkibikoresho byingenzi mubigize; kurugero, ibyuma bya turbine nyinshi zumuyaga ni igice cya balsa. Impera-ingano ya balsa ni ibikoresho byingenzi bikurura umuyaga kubera ko ugereranije bihendutse kandi byuzuye kuburyo bitanga imbaraga zirenze ifuro, iyo mico ikaba ingirakamaro cyane mugice cyumuzi wa silindrike ushimishije cyane. Amabati yimbaho ya Balsa yaciwe kubipimo byagenwe, amanota cyangwa kerfed (ukurikije uburebure n'ubugari, nkuko byerekanwe, kumirongo ifatanye) hanyuma ashyirwaho ikimenyetso hanyuma akoranyirizwa hamwe nabashinzwe gutanga ibikoresho mubikoresho.
40% gusa yubunini bwigice cya balsa nikintu gikomeye. Impamvu ishobora guhagarara muremure kandi ikomeye mumashyamba nuko mubyukuri yuzuyemo amazi menshi, nkipine yuzuye umwuka. Iyo balsa itunganijwe, ibiti bishyirwa mu itanura bikabikwa ibyumweru bibiri kugirango bikureho amazi arenze. Umuyaga wa turbine wumuyaga bikozwe mubiti bya balsa bishyizwe hagati ya bits ebyiri za fiberglass. Kugirango habeho ubucuruzi, inkwi zumishijwe-zumye mugihe cibyumweru bibiri, hasigara selile zidafite ubusa. Ingano nini-yubuso bwikigereranyo cyavuyeho uruzitiro ruto, selile yubusa iha inkwi zumye igipimo kinini-cy-uburemere kuko ingirabuzimafatizo ahanini ari umwuka.
