A standard catalogue model: the dimensions, control package and finish are fixed, which is what keeps the price and the lead time predictable. Size, colour and interface language can be adapted without a new design cycle.

01 / Overview

Trees can absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. When trees grow, they store the absorbed carbon in structural substances such as cellulose and lignin, and fix it in the trunk, leaves, roots, and other parts. Every time a tree grows taller or thicker, it is a process of storing more carbon, which will continue to be stored in the tree's body until it dies.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO ₂) through their leaves and carry out photosynthesis through sunlight and water. In this process, the carbon element in carbon dioxide is captured by plants and converted into organic substances such as glucose, which are supplied for tree growth. This reaction not only generates oxygen, but also fixes carbon from the atmosphere in various parts of the tree, such as the trunk, leaves, roots, etc. Carbon storage: The "carbon pool" inside trees stores the absorbed carbon in structural substances such as cellulose and lignin as they grow. Every time a tree grows taller or thicker, it is a process of storing more carbon. A growing tree can fix a large amount of carbon, even up to several tons, which is stored in the tree's body until it dies or is burned. Long term carbon sequestration: In addition to trees themselves, forest ecosystems are also important carbon reservoirs from forests to soil. When leaves, branches, and other plants partially fall, they decompose and convert some carbon into organic matter.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
