Title: Re: Block erupter powered by hamster Post by: empoweoqwj on January 25, 2014, 02:58:20 AM 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 ;D 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 :) Title: Re: Block erupter powered by hamster Post by: Gator-hex on January 25, 2014, 01:59:20 PM Hi guys I own few AM block erupter, Also own few pet hamsters.

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. Example with one motor turning another... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiIVkp7mMwE Instead of exploiting animals you could also try a small solar cell or wind mill. ;) Examples of home made windmill generators... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zrp0RC3XTpw Title: Re: Block erupter powered by hamster Post by: empoweoqwj on January 26, 2014, 04:03:29 AM Hi guys I own few AM block erupter, Also own few pet hamsters.
