Dancers' moves help to power Glasgow music venue 舞者用舞步幫助英國格拉斯哥音樂場館供電

文字稿

SWG3 is a huge warehouse which hosts major club nights.

“SWG3” 是一間大型倉庫，在夜間舉辦大型音樂休閑活動。

It claims to be the first in the world to use this type of heating and cooling system, and I’ve managed to get exclusive access.

據(jù)稱，這里是世界上首個使用這種供暖和制冷系統(tǒng)的場所，而我得以前來一探究竟。

David Townsend, Founder of TownRock Energy
“You and I just standing here right now, we're generating about 100, 150 watts of energy. When you start dancing, let's say medium pace, like Rolling Stones or something, you might be generating like 250 watts. And then if you’ve got, like, you know, a big DJ, absolutely slamming basslines and making everyone jump up and down, you could be generating 500 to 600 watts of thermal energy.”

“你我現(xiàn)在只是站在這里，就產(chǎn)生了大約100到150瓦的能量。當你開始跳舞時，比如跟著滾石樂隊的音樂跳中速的舞蹈，就可能會產(chǎn)生250瓦的能量。而如果現(xiàn)場有大牌DJ播放快節(jié)奏的鼓點，讓大家上蹦下跳，那么每人就能產(chǎn)生500到600瓦的熱能。”

And that heat is then captured from the dancefloor and transferred to a series of 200-metre-deep boreholes which can be charged like a thermal battery.

然后，從舞池中產(chǎn)生的熱量被收集并輸送到一系列200米深的鉆孔中，可以像熱電池一樣充電。

The Bodyheat system is being turned on at a party – and what better way than an event honouring a dance that originated in Scotland? The Slosh, and with every step, each person is their own generator of renewable energy, which you can see using this forward-looking infrared camera.

在一次聚會上，Bodyheat 系統(tǒng)隨即啟動。還有什么比在蘇格蘭舉辦一場活動，以此紀念源于當?shù)氐奈璧父鼞?yīng)景的呢？這種舞蹈叫 “Slosh”，你每跳一步，就通過自身的體熱再生出能量，你可以用這臺前視紅外相機看到人體產(chǎn)生的能量。

And after the dancing, the team look at the data.

跳完舞后，團隊會查看相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)。

Andrew Fleming-Brown, SWG3 managing director
“Any development is... there's risk attached to it. And when you're putting in a system which is the first time ever, you're taking a bit of a leap of faith. If we can make it work here in this environment, there's no reason why we can't take it to other venues, and other environments, and not just here in Scotland in the UK, across Europe and further afield.”

安德魯·弗萊明-布朗     SWG3總經(jīng)理
“任何發(fā)展都伴有風險。當你是世界上首個投入使用一套新系統(tǒng)的人時，其實你是在冒險，大膽嘗試。如果我們能在這種環(huán)境中讓系統(tǒng)有效運作，就沒有理由不把它應(yīng)用到其它場所和環(huán)境中，不僅僅是在英國蘇格蘭，而是推廣到歐洲各地，甚至更遠的地方。”

The team here are clearly committed to this new technology and the importance of doing their bit to help the environment, and clubbers have an extra reason to stay on the dancefloor all night long.

這支團隊顯然致力于發(fā)展這項新技術(shù)，并深知盡一己之力保護環(huán)境的重要性，而且舞者們也有了一個額外的理由可以整夜呆在舞池里。
