I've just come across a posting about an environmentally sound dance club exhibit. Sound strange? I thought so too. The most interesting part of the project for me was the idea of a dance floor that captures some of the wasted energy produced from the pounding of your feet upon the floor. It's apparent that researchers and engineers are looking everywhere they can to harness energy in our ever more environmentally aware society. What's next? Electricity generation from the box spring of your bed? Every time you roll over in the middle of the night, your night light burns a little brighter? Imagine the water cooler conversations of someone bragging about their sex life, "you wouldn't believe how much energy we returned to grid last night!" Check out the video at treehugger.com.
