Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for promoting health by equalizing the electric potential between humans and trees are inefficient and difficult to maintain for extended periods, as they often rely on insulating materials that prevent long-term electrical contact and do not account for the different electric potentials between the human and the tree.
Innovation Solution
The use of conductive materials like futons, bed mattresses, and bed sheets connected via conductive wires at multiple points to facilitate equalization of electric potential between humans and trees, allowing for prolonged electrical contact without interference from other electric potentials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If insulating materials are used to prevent electrical contact between human and tree, then electrical safety is improved, but the ability to equalize electric potential is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces conductive fibers as an intermediary medium between the human body and the tree. These fibers are embedded in bedding materials (futon, mattress, sheets) and provide a controlled conductive path that allows electric potential equalization while maintaining safety through design constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The conductive functionality is extracted from direct skin-to-tree contact and embedded into the bedding materials. This separation allows the bedding to serve as the active component for potential equalization while the tree serves as the passive charge reservoir.
2Ease of operation
If direct skin contact with tree is maintained, then electric potential equalization is improved, but the duration of contact is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive fibers are pre-installed in the bedding materials before use. When a person lies on the bed, the conductive pathway is automatically established without requiring any additional action from the user, enabling prolonged passive contact.
Solution Approach 2:
The bedding system with embedded conductive fibers automatically maintains the conductive connection between the human body and the tree throughout the sleeping period, without requiring active participation or monitoring from the user.
3Duration of action of moving object
If conductive materials are embedded in bedding, then prolonged electrical contact is improved, but device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive fibers are distributed throughout flexible bedding materials that conform to the human body's shape. This flexible integration maintains comfort and simplicity while enabling prolonged contact through natural body positioning during sleep.
Solution Approach 2:
The bedding materials serve multiple functions: providing comfort and support for sleep, while simultaneously acting as the conductive medium for electric potential equalization. This multi-functionality avoids the need for separate dedicated equipment.
4Reliability
If multiple conductive wires are used to connect tree and conductive material, then reliability of potential equalization is improved, but ease of operation is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple conductive wires are merged into a single integrated conductive fiber network embedded in the bedding materials. This consolidation maintains the reliability of potential equalization through distributed connectivity while eliminating the need for users to manually connect multiple separate wires.

Function Achieved in This Case
This method enables the human to maintain equal electric potential with the tree for extended periods, effectively transferring abnormal electric charges and promoting health, while preventing interference from other electric potentials.
Implementation Method 1
The conductive wire 2 transfers an electric charge between the human body 4 and the tree 1
Implementation Method 2
The electrical insulator 7 is placed between the conductive material 3 and the ground 6 so as to prevent the electric charge from being transferred from the conductive material 3 to the ground 6

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.
