Are the calculations available somewhere? From <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Human_power#Available_power" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Human_power#Available_power</a> the output of 1 person is ~100W in ideal setup. If they expect to extract some energy from the movement of the stage during a not coordinated action of the dancers, I expect a much smaller number.<p>For comparison, an old lamp used ~100W, an air conditioner for a small home uses 3000W.<p>How much is &quot;70 tonnes of carbon emissions per year&quot; compared to the CO2 emissions? How much CO2 will they need to make and install the devices?
