UK club equipped with power-generating dance floor

20080719_dancefloor.jpg
"Dance to save the world!" is declaredly the quite overblown slogan of the nightclub Surya in King’s Cross (London). It isn't the first power-generating dance floor to use the surplus dance energy of clubbers, but it is the first one to hit the UK.

The picture on top shows how the dance floor usees a piezoelectric system which produces electricity as the dancers jump up and down. Batteries underneath the dance floor charge the energy which is partly used to power the nightclub.

Cute idea! I hope the owner of the nightclub managed to purchase one of those
Siemens Gigaset ECO DECT phones... ;)
