Dance to the floor for electricity

An intelligent dance floor uses the dancers' movements to light up and sweat them to flush toilets that may be launched in the Netherlands next year.

The prototype of this type of dance floor has been tested in various events, including Live Earth, earlier this year.

In addition to the use of ecological technologies such as reuse of dirty water, recycled materials, wind turbines and solar panels, the Sustainability Deck also reminds consumers of minimizing the impact. environment.

"We've gone a step further by recognizing that dancers themselves are a source of energy," said the technology developer.

The club will design a special dance floor to absorb the dance force and use it to glow, while saving electricity.

"We would like to open our first club in Rotterdam in 2008, if things go well," said technology developer Enviu and designer Döll Atelier voor Bouwkunst. "But if clubs around the world are interested in this initiative and want to apply beforehand, we encourage them to contact us."
