ELECTRICITY GENERATING DANCE FLOOR
BY USING RACK & PINION MECHANISM
• Generating Dance Floor converts the movement
of the dancing crowd into electricity and uses
this power to change the appearance of the
floor’s surface. The dance floor can also give
feedback to other systems that use electricity,
such as the sound system, motivating the DJ to
outperform his/herself by responding to the
energy generated by the crowd.
INTRODUCTION
The floor can have different platforms,
providing unique visual experiences on
every energy level, from loading and
average, to the maximum level of the
evening, ultimate high! All visuals are a
continuous real-time interaction between
the clubbers on the floor made visible,
allowing every individual’s actions to
contribute to the collective experience.
.
• Making the clubbers and DJ aware of their own energy, their interaction and their impact on the ‘environment’, is all part of the Sustainable Clubbing Experience.
Development and technique• The dance floor is a fusion of electronics,
embedded software and smart durable materials. This is by researching the ways to generate electricity through minimal amounts of movement. The actual technology is further processed by R&D for sustainable energy solutions.
• At present the demo version of this is to be implemented by using simple technique with pressure sensors at floor with spring arrangements.
OVERVIEW OF THE ACTUAL PROJECT
The modified way to make dance floor contains a rack and pinion assembly connected with spring mechanism to uplift the stage always. Whenever the person jumps on stage, the rack moves to downward direction. Its pinion is connected to an alternator to generate electrical energy. Stepper motors are connected to this pinion assembly to generate more power as it consist of four coils in one. One can charge the battery.

REQUIREMENT OF PROJECT
• A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert
rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinion
engages teeth on a flat bar - the rack. Rotational motion
applied to the pinion will cause the rack to move to the
side, up to the limit of its travel. For example, in a
rack railway, the rotation of a pinion mounted on a
locomotive or a railcar engages a rack between the rails
and pulls a train along a steep slope.
RACK & PINION
• The rack and pinion arrangement is commonly found in the steering
mechanism of cars or other wheeled, steered vehicles. This
arrangement provides a lesser mechanical advantage than other
mechanisms such as recirculating ball, but much less backlash and
greater feedback, or steering "feel". The use of a variable rack was
invented by Arthur E Bishop,[1] so as to improve vehicle response and
steering "feel" on-centre, and that has been fitted to many new
vehicles, after he created a hot forging process to manufacture the
racks, thus eliminating any subsequent need to machine the form of
the gear teeth.

MESH GEOMETRY
• A stepper motor, also called stepping motor, pulse motor or digital motor, is an electromechanical device which rotates a discrete step angle when energized electrically. Stepper motors are synchronous motors in which rotor’s positions depend directly on driving signal. Rotary moment is defined by magnetic energy and is proportional to the tooth number of the rotor.
STEPPER MOTOR
Stepper motor
• The main difference between the stepping motor and a general motor is that the stepping motor only powered by a fixed driving voltage does not rotate.
Types
• There are three basic stepper motor types. They are :
• Variable-reluctance• Permanent-magnet• Hybrid
Springs
• Four springs attached to a wall and a mass. In a situation like this, the two springs can be replaced by one with a spring constant of
keq=k1+k2+k3+k4
• F = - Kx• Where• x is the displacement vector - the distance
and direction in which the spring is deformed
Springs
• F is the resulting force vector - the magnitude and direction of the restoring force the spring exerts
• • k is the spring constant or force
constant of the spring
• In the future, the technology could be used for surfaces where there is a high volume of foot traffic, such as shopping centers, train stations or airports. Beginning next year the "sustainable floor" will be on sale -- for about 4,000 dollars per square meter.
