This is excellent.

If a DJ trainwrecks, very few will be dancing, hence no power for him and he's forced to shut 'er down. Works well on so many levels.

I'm laid off, this is what I do, stay up all night, nap during the day between movies and do it all over again till the weekend arrives where I spend whatever meagre EI money I get on drugs and alcohol...

I have tho however caught up on lots of movies, music and youtube and have been thru digg front to back at least twice so far...

I actually used to wonder if this was feasible...good to know that there are people out there working to make this possible.

I'm all for this...the better the DJ the brighter the lighting effects....(I foresee relentless TA feuding if this becomes a reality though....)

Something very similar to this was implemented in a club in Finland late last year I believe, and the patrons hated it because it felt like they were stepping on cushions the entire time. It'll have to be refined as such that the movement between the floor and the tiny parts underneath is minimal.

PartEgurl knows a lot about sustainable design for clubs and stuff. i'll even go as far as saying that she's a know-it-all on that topic :P

thats actually a good point...unless ur at a big club, u wont get that many people "moving" and despite this, u would def need a supplementary source of power....

Obviously the club would have to be on the grid as well, it would be ridiculous to have the place powered solely by this thing.

Posted by Mach X on Apr-09-2008 08:09:

Also I don't think the power generated would go directly to the lights and shows... it would be stored in a battery and used as supplementry power to the original power going to the lights and so forth to subsidize the amount used....

Actually this is pretty amazing .. i was reading about this a few weeks ago. And i did a bit of research ... checked out its website read a couple articles ... pretty cool, the Dance Floor is actually only one of a few sustasinable design features ... its pretty eco friendly, id love to go party here for sure ...
