SWG3 is a huge warehouse1 which hosts major club nights.
SWG3 是一间大型仓库,在夜间举办大型音乐休闲活动。
It claims to be the first in the world to use this type of heating and cooling system, and Ive managed to get exclusive access.
据称,这里是世界上首个用这种供暖和制冷系统的场合,而我得以前来一探讨竟。
David Townsend, Founder2 of TownRock Energy
You and I just standing3 here right now, were generating about 100, 150 watts4 of energy. When you start dancing, lets say medium pace, like Rolling Stones or something, you might be generating like 250 watts. And then if youve 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 thermal5 energy.

你我目前只不过站在这里,就产生了大约100到150瓦的能量。当你开始跳舞时,譬如跟着滚石乐队的音乐跳中速的舞蹈,就或许会产生250瓦的能量。而假如现场有一线品牌DJ播放快步伐的鼓点,让大伙上蹦下跳,那样每个人就能产生500到600瓦的热能。
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,从舞池中产生的热量被采集并输送到一系列200米深的钻孔中,可以像热电池一样充电。
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 generator6 of renewable energy, which you can see using this forward|looking infrared7 camera.
在一次聚会上,Bodyheat 系统随即启动。还有哪些比在苏格兰举办一场活动,以此纪念来自于当地的舞蹈更应景的呢?这种舞蹈叫 Slosh,你每跳一步,就通过自己的体热再生出能量,你可以用这台前视红外相机看到人体产生的能量。
And after the dancing, the team look at the data.
跳完舞后,团队会查询有关数据。
Andrew Fleming|Brown, SWG3 managing director
Any development is... theres risk attached to it. And when youre putting in a system which is the first time ever, youre taking a bit of a leap of faith. If we can make it work here in this environment, theres no reason why we cant take it to other venues8, and other environments, and not just here in Scotland in the UK, across Europe and further afield.
安德鲁弗莱明|布朗 SWG3总经理
任何进步都伴有风险。当你是世界上首个投入用一套新系统的人时,其实你是在冒险,大胆尝试。假如大家能在这种环境中让系统有效运作,就没理由不把它应用到其它场合和环境中,不止是在英国苏格兰,而是推广到欧洲各地,甚至更远的地方。
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.
这支团队显然致力于进步这项新技术,并深知尽一己之力保护环境的重要程度,而且舞者们也有了一个额外的原因可以整夜呆在舞池里。
