new frontiers for ESD Control by:
Steve Fowler Most electrical engineers use the word "tension" to describe an electrical characteristic. The word also means stress - oops, we use that too. Webster says it is: "a mental or nervous strain." A company in Europe is now using static protective materials similar to those used in the ESD industry to make mattress covers and ticking. They have scientific tests which say that a person sleeping on an mattress cover made from ESD fabric will allow that person to get more restful sleep than on plain ole covers. So maybe our "tension" can be electrically relieved. You decide: The
company, Intense,
says:
The human body - constantly under tension
Just think of the crackling and sparks that appear
when you slip off your sweater in the dark. This phenomenon is called
the corona. The more electrons there are, the bigger the charge, and
the human body can store up to 30,000 volts! Not surprisingly, these
high voltages have a negative effect on our sleep. We feel nervous,
agitated we are literally experiencing a feeling of tension. So it is
important for the body to get rid of this tension and drop to the lowest
possible voltage. And that is exactly how Intense works.

Relieve
Your "Tension" With Static Safe Mattress Covers
The
human body is one big electric field, continually recharging its electrons
through contacting or rubbing against other materials. Discharge comes
into play when one element moves away from the other. The discharge
is usually earthed straight away, but can also occur through ionisation
discharge through the air.
