Tritucap

Last updated

The Tritucap (from Portuguese : Triturar de Capoeira, chipping of the underwood) is a secondary forest wood chipper used for land preparation in tropical agricultural systems. Its scope is to replace slash and burn practices in shifting cultivation settings, thus preventing soil erosion and displacement of nutrients. [1] [2]

The Tritucap was developed by the Institute of Agricultural Engineering of the University of Göttingen within the project "SHIFT Capoeira", funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. [2]

Capoeira Afro-Brazilian martial art

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. It was created by enslaved Africans in Brazil and developed by their descendants at the beginning of the 16th century. It is known for its acrobatic and complex maneuvers, often involving hands on the ground and inverted kicks. It emphasizes flowing movements rather than fixed stances; the ginga, a rocking step, is usually the focal point of the technique. The most widely accepted origin of the word capoeira comes from the Tupi words ka'a ("forest") paũ ("round"), referring to the areas of low vegetation in the Brazilian interior where fugitive slaves would hide. A practitioner of the art is called a capoeirista.
