USB powered Hamster wheel

« H E » email

posted Thu 05 Oct 06

iwantoneofthose is selling a USB powered hamster wheel that monitors how fast you type. The faster you are working then the faster the little fellow has to run! Although they claim it is not suitable for real hamsters, but I am sure that hasn't stopped someone from testing it.

Although I think they may have this the wrong way around. In todays energy efficient society, the current should be flowing the other way - the faster the hamster runs the more your battery is charged. Forget solar panels, hamster power is the way forward. Make the little buggers work for their money - they have had it way too easy up to now just sitting there doing nothing!
