Music festivals are popular in Europe and around the world. Thousands of people get together and dance to the music all night long. Throughout this process human energy is being exerted and not used for any practical application. Some technology has been developed (for example Energy Floors at Watt Club in Rotterdam - See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t09uDncGKA) but it is not yet widely implemented. Most solutions focus on capturing energy through the floor which requires extensive tiling equipment. There must be other ways to capture dance energy that do not require the installation of heavy floor tiles. Lets find simple scalable solutions that can be used at festivals and clubs around the world and different methods of implementation.

We need lightweight, easily transportable/ installable, cost effective solutions of how this energy can be captured and used, for example, to give extra power to sound systems. The harder you dance the louder the music! A meter featuring energy levels could be displayed on a screen above stages to show guests how much energy they are giving off and how it is affecting music levels. It can also be a great measure of how much guests are enjoying the music!

Try to think out of the box for solutions that can be cheaply and widely implemented at different venues without heavy equipment and an extensive installation process!

    sounds like we need red carpets that collect movement energy and transforms it into electric energy maybe via piezo elements?
