engadget.com — Believe it or not, this actually isn't the first power-generating dance floor to harness some of the pent up energy of club-goers, but it is apparently the first one to hit the UK, and hopefully a sign of more to come.

tesla has theories on wireless electricity. with that in mind the road when driven over could use piezoelectricity to generate and using a very weak wireless electrical current, transfer the energy created from the road to say, receptors on the insides of the tires.The point is innovation is key and it wouldn't be a waste of energy if you did you got the right method, it'd be a waste of money trying to implement it.

I can't believe how stupid people are to think this is a good idea. Its a f**king terrible idea.Ask yourself this, what is more efficient in the generation of electricity?a). Using petroleum to grow food and ship it out to people so they can convert these food calories into motion and then use a transducer(peizo, stationary bike and etc) to generate electricity.b). Using petroleum to generate electricity directly.If you care about our ecological impact on the planet, you got to think clearly. Not just because it seems good.

So there I was tearing up the dance floor. Nobody told me about the nail sticking out the bottom of my shoe.--Emo Phillips

Nothing is stopping you. Simply take a stationary bike, put a generator on it, convert it to AC and plug it onto your wall. If you turn off all electrical power in your home, you can turn back the meter on the side of the house and the electric company will send you a check.

I think you've found a solution to the hyperactivity problem as well!

Yeah but you're talking about a floor with some bounce, a system like this wont be bouncing you back up as that would be reusing the energy you already put it into it.

God Ron Jeremy is so f**king ugly. It just angers me every time I see his name referenced, knowing that this ugly son of a bitch has f**ked so many pretty women.
