The long wave of environmentalist trend has arrived in the world of dancing: Off Course is a nightclub in Rotterdam that is proposed to operate without consuming even one kilowatt of energy, producing independently all his needs. How? Through a platform that will leverage the movement of people to transform it into electricity. This platform, created in collaboration with the University of Delft, is composed of a material that when compressed by the steps and jump to those who walk on the inside produces a potential difference and thus an electrical current.
The ultimate goal is to create a place that can work with the "zero impact", ie without consuming energy is thought then to a grass cover, configured to collect rainwater to use for flushing. Also on the cover will be installed wind power generators to harness the wind and photovoltaic panels for solar energy use.
To complete the picture of an ecological sensibility in the round, is being studied a menu of food recycling (reusing the remains of the best restaurants in town), while on the slope of the animation is expected to involve VJ sensitive to ecological issues , which will offer music and images inspired by nature and respect for the environment.
In the club you can also buy clothes or make changes to their accessories, and using Kuyichi , A brand that offers the "honest fashion," the honest fashion, that is the use of organic raw materials produced and purchased according to the dictates of fair trade.
