In Rotterdam, a nightclub that is environmentally correct installed a dance floor with energy recovery. The more we produce more agitated ...

In Watt, night club aptly named, dancing green. The toilets are supplied with water from rain and drinks in recyclable plastic cups. According to the responsible consumption of the hall would be reduced by 30% for water and 50% for energy compared to a night club classic.

Technical innovation is under the dance floor, set by Sustainable Dance Club, a Dutch company. Actuators move at the pace of the movement of soil when it is shaken by the population in and recovered energy is converted into electricity.

Some sources of energy around us
With a surface area of about four meters by eleven, the track would power a dozen watts.

With larger areas, officials hope to produce Watt, with 1400 dancers, between 10 and 15% of the electricity consumed by the institution.

One can smile at the futility of this invention. But she joined many others. Many research teams are now working to recover lost energy, mechanical form (movements, vibrations or sounds) or heat.

The recovery of energy from vibrations produced by road or rail has already been studied and nanogénérateurs able to draw - a little - energy noise exist in prototype. A multitude of sources of energy surround us ...
