Electric Generating Dance Floor

The dance floor uses piezoelectrics to collect the power.

Electric generating dance floor.

In 2008 the team created club watt an ecological dance club with flooring tile that harnesses the ecstatic movements of dancers converting kinetic energy to actual electricity. Our roots our story starts in 2008 when we open the world s first sustainable dance club and let partygoers loose on our energy generating dance floor. A dutch company called energy floors has invented a product that turns club patrons into portable generators. The sustainable dance floor modules flex slightly when stepped on.

As clubgoers dance electricity producing crystals under the floor are compressed producing a small current. The dance floor can also give feedback to other systems that use electricity such as the sound system motivating the dj to outperform his herself by responding to the energy generated by the crowd. Their first big idea. We do this by making energy production visible interactive smart and fun.

Inside each tile is an electromechanical system which transforms the small vertical movement produced by dancing people into a rotating movement that drives a generator. Launch a network of sustainable dance clubs with glowing interactive floors while simultaneously launching a line of floor tiles called.
