Hi guys
I own few AM block erupter, Also own few pet hamsters. I was thinking the other day, why not get these lazy animal to work for me earning money in full time, they have a running wheel and I wanted to see if it was possible to hook this running wheel up to alternator or something and power small generator. not as 100% power of course as it is too much. just as backup or reserve- maybe I can earn sandwhich from them
is it feasible, anybody tried?

Of course you can generate power this way but you might need some kick-ass hamsters on steroids to power block erupters
I was thinking bicycle dyno, but still maybe a hamster would be too light to turn it, a rat or a chinchilla maybe.
Maybe you could use a small electric motor, not sure how much power it would produce though.

Instead of exploiting animals you could also try a small solar cell or wind mill.

Can't you employee someone from poor nation to site on a bike all day?
