Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for promoting health by equalizing the electric potential between a human and a tree are inefficient and difficult to maintain for a long duration, as they often rely on insulating materials that prevent continuous electrical contact.

Innovation Solution

The use of conductive materials such as futons, bed mattresses, and bed sheets connected via conductive wires at multiple points to ensure continuous electrical contact with a tree, allowing for equalization of electric potential between the human and the tree.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If insulating materials are used to connect human with tree, then electrical contact is established, but continuous electrical contact cannot be maintained for long time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuity of electrical contactVSAvoidduration of potential equalization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the electrical insulator from the connection system between the human body and the tree. By extracting the insulating material that was previously used to safely connect the human to the tree, the invention enables direct electrical contact, allowing continuous potential equalization without the limitations imposed by insulating materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent eliminates the intermediary insulating material from the electrical connection path. Instead of using an insulator as a mediator that limits electrical flow, the invention creates a direct conductive path through the human body to the tree, allowing uninterrupted electrical interaction and sustained potential equalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If direct hand touching of tree is used, then abnormal electric charge is absorbed, but contact cannot be maintained for long time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of charge absorptionVSAvoidduration of contact
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces the human body as an intermediary conductor between the tree and the ground. By using the human body's natural conductivity as the mediating element, the system enables prolonged contact and sustained charge absorption without requiring the user to maintain physical grip on the tree.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent leverages the human body's own electrical properties (conductivity and potential) to maintain continuous contact with the tree. The body's natural ability to conduct electricity and its inherent potential differences enable self-sustaining electrical interaction, eliminating the need for external mechanical support to maintain contact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If conductive material is used to connect human with tree, then potential equalization is achieved, but electrical interference from ground may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of potential equalizationVSAvoidelectrical interference from ground
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the ground connection from the electrical pathway between the human body and the tree. By removing the ground connection element, the system prevents electrical interference from the ground while maintaining the tree-human electrical connection, ensuring accurate potential equalization without unwanted ground coupling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A device, a health method, a disease treatment and a medical treatment where a tree growing on the ground is connected with a conductive material such as a futon, a bed mattress, a floor cushion, a carpet and a bed sheet at two portions or more by a conductive wire through which electricity can flow. A human lies or sits on the conductive material to create the state same as the state where the human is directly in contact with the tree for a long time in terms of electricity and potential.
