Sustainable Dance Club

[MRMILO57]

Aim for more emissions, because the planet needs it!

Carbon Pollution is not bad, it's good!

[ZebbMassiv]

You would get too much energy if you played drum and bass. you could probably sell the extra energy back to the power company

[ThaigerDon]

this is basically a prototype in action:

watch?v=RCOBA3Yfm1k&feature=re­lated

it's mindblowing the places we can find energy, even more so the advances in technology to utilize wasted energy... it's a lot to take in for sure

[kenlake416]

what is the name of that song!?

[necropscain]

Human body generated energy... The Matrix anyone?

[kjsakj2]

whats the tune in the background?

[fLorShiTop]

nice proyect! :D

[PerfectDecalibration]

God, I love innovation.

[envisiongood]

Brilliant!

[bokocrew]

wow Awesome! :D I wish i had this in my country ^^

[Foxmang]

I had the same idea 10 years ago,but with car on the street,so they could make electricity for lamps on the street!

[12lensois]

Magnificent idea !

[carlos1234499]

what is the price of this floor

[shamanic11]

the dj better keep'em dancing... "get ur back up off the wall, and dance 'til you make enough energy to power the club"

[seishin48]

very nice yet hope u can find away to concentraite it enough for a club whould be quite good!

[footycricket]

awsome.

[DJRC420]

Those dutch sure know how to do it (kind of justifies happy hardcore, doesn't it?). I sort of remember having a conversation with a friend about piezoelectricity back before any of us even knew the term actually existed (let alone the technology). She wanted to buy up a bunch of old Nintendo power pads and splice them together to create a power producing dancefloor. How should I go about macgyvering together a working prototype like this?

[evap80]

great idea of Henk Döll, Enviu and the University of Technology Eindhoven und Delft! ...and the beat goes on....

[dadautube]

nice idea: human hand as tree bark ... (why that of a man's though and not of a woman?)

[RushDrum99]

Because women are the roots of all evil so they are underground.

[dadautube]

u r incredolous indeed!

[erithug]

ahaha nice response :)

[Grundalizer]

@RushDrum99 hahaahhaha

[Mank25]

It's not about creating self-sustaining dance clubs or trains, it's about making use of some energy that would otherwise be wasted.

It's not a LOT of energy, but hey, it's something.

[punkrocksknot]

too bad you need a LOT of vibration to power something like a night club.

[ingoatd]

wow what an idea

you could produce enough energy to light a ..........LED

[timoctober]

what track is it???

[michaelleytham]

they have a club like that in buffalo

[Slugsie1]

Nope, these ideas DO NOT WORK. You don't get free energy ever. The energy generated by the dance floor for example is powered by humans. Those humans have to expend more energy than normal, so they have to eat more, and straight away it all falls down.

[USAWorseThanHitler]

Its not free energy. Its just a transfer of energy. Energy is always conserved and is usually lost into many forms unless it is transfered/"converted" to a different. This just a transfer of energy and is very possible.

[CypherVirus]

This is the recovery of energy that would otherwise go to waste. If they were normal floors, the vibrations would have absorbed into the floor and into the foundation. If there was a cheap and easy way to recover all wasted energy/heat the world would be so much better off. Cars put out waste heat through their radiators; light bulbs (even CFLs) put out wasted heat. So no, this isn't free energy...

[tobain]

The last example is stupid. The tram needs more energy to drive, because the rail will giving way, if it is made of piezzo elements. Knowing that you will waste energy at every conversion you make, it is an stupid example.

Indeed the first example is a good one.

[fumbleson]

No doi. Perpetual motion or bust.

[XHooligan]

now thats sick!!! i

[XBTechno]

brilliant idea!

i've never though of that

[cRAVEmusic]

I love this idea!

[prevedmoped]

заебца!

[1994deniz]

this video was good

just moved new area uY

[PrincessxXxPink]

It might not have much impact atm..

but its a good idea.. and if it works for this disco.. they might start using it on other things..

like streets

[cdowell1976]

Imagine home & work applications w/ this? Just walking would produce power for hoem lighting while solar & wind could power appliances, outlets, etc. A VERY novel idea.

[kpierce118]

you would be so tired it would be like dancing on a bed for hours they just thought of the best thing that could be put in a video but if ever tried would be ridiculously stupid

[emgeemann]

it wouldnt need to have that much give. The floor already vibrates anyways from all the people moving in unison

[Kazagistar]

What song is this?

[andreyarhangelsk]

пиздато

[thyson412]

hey pretty cool idea

[beauideal28]

You've got to respect corporations like Toyota for sponsoring such technologies. Of course, it is in their interests to invest in alternative sources of energy a la hybrid, piezoelectricity, solar and others.

[treeman222]

They figure 5 to 10 watts generated per person. This kind of tech should be used in huge train stations like Penn and Grand Central that get hundreds of thousands of people every day.

[ThisIsAmbulanceX]

Problem is its going to cost a lot more than it saves... The club would reap publicity from the investment which will help pay for it...

[treeman222]

Ambulance X - Yeah I figured, but there have to be some affordable ways to tap into some of the kinetic energy created. Revolving doors and such...

[ThisIsAmbulanceX]

That revolving door is a pretty cool idea actually...

[ThugRandles]

Haha, watch out, AmbulanceX is gonna patent it before you do!

[AndyRoddick969]

yea, theres no Trams where im from. everyone drives drunk home and kills people.

great video though.

[alfcasco345]

q bien ya es hora de poder hacer algo por este planeta q nos brinda vida y mejor aun bailando q bien

[Str8KroniK]

the point isnt that it would create enough energy to run other things. the point is that it produces enough energy to power it self. if every thing produced enough energy to power it self then we all would be very happy people cause that means no more gas bills, but how realistic is that idea. i have no idea. i would have to see how much energy it produce to how much pressure is applied.

[pharcyde7]

Realistically though, how much electricity could the dance floor save in relation to how much the night club uses? A tiny, tiny amount i'm guessing.

[imnos482]

The dance club thing is obviously just to sell the technology. There are tons of better ways to use it. Say, New York Streets?

[moonlittorch]

>> if it actually is developed i think it'd be a pretty spiffy club

[ElPopularVale]

The nicest thing about this is that the dj is forced to play good music that keeps people dancing

[luanpereiragouveia]

Isso é uma óóóó´tima idéia,cara!Meu lado profissional de dj (conhecedor das nights) implantaria essa idéia aqui no Brasil imediatamente (claro que em uma região com o clima propício para tal).Mas meu lado empresário sabe que boas e novas idéias aqui no Brasil (se não partirem da globo) não são muito bem recebidas...Parabéns,Holanda!U­m dia ainda me mudo pra aí...

[jezz20]

Absolutely amazing. Very nice presentation. I wonder if it can really happen.

[elperropatron]

why is it that health clubs and dance clubs play the worst music ever produced by human beings? I'd rather jump up and down next to a construction site.

[xkriolox]

probably if you have a full house you can generate enogh energy, but it would have a step generator...

I think if you have people dancing in rithm you would have much amplitude but low frequency, but who developed this probably know what he is doing

[Chriswaterguy]

How much embedded energy (from building the system) versus how much output? It strikes me as a gimmick.

[ariaofsilence]

Sounds like a typical, republican response...

[paperwarrior]

Pardon, ariaofsilence, but does your message present a good, arguable point, or are you just being a troll?

[ariaofsilence]

The former.

[paperwarrior]

And can you please tell me what this point is?

[ariaofsilence]

Nope. Don't have to defend myself to you. If you can't see it, then you probably wouldn't understand it.

[Hans293]

Weighing costs against benefits is important. If that concern makes Chriswaterguy "sound like a republican", then he is representing the republicans well.

[ariaofsilence]

Cost is nothing. It's a manmade value. They print more money everyday. Overall benefit nulls cost.

[tonioloneto]

THIS IS THE WAY...

[ytbml]

realmente muito interessante...

..otima opção para as casas noturnas aqui no Brasil, não sei se poderia dar certo, pois certamente esta é uma tecnologia cara, mas há de ser pensada.

..utilizar a dança como forma de obter energia...se depender de mim..essa casa vai ter bastante energia por um bom tempo...hehehe

divulgarei o video...

[brhm]

i cant belive that there are ppl who takes this idea seriously living on this earth!!??

[patshmear]

do us all a favour and shoot yourself

[ezra01tr]

California Fitness ; a gym ; in Hong Kong is turning human movement into kilowatts..

[droplul33]

just testing..

[juandel]

The only problem would be if the music isn't that good and doesn't make us move.

[amoniacarater]

wonderful idea ;)

[LAPESADA]

wtf this is just a joke or something... this cant exist you imagine the fucking floor just moving under your feet? would be so fucking stupid...

[mikosoft]

LOL ... to generate piezo-effect it only needs to move a fraction of milimeter

[jipadro]

The Future Baby!

[FrankyRP]

great :)

[djtozz]

ecological energy ! cool !

[djtozz]

ecological energy ! cool !

[kakashi1992]

COOL! I wonder if it really works though. And how much money does it cost to put these 'energy generators' in? 0_o

[quarkshooters700]

cool stuff, thanks for the video!
