The Hamster Power Project – Resources

The R & D quest for knowledge has begun!The first step in our project is to learn how to convert Hamster powered wheels into a usable energy force.

We will also be searching for information on ’stepping-up’ power – any electrical engineers in the house?

Here we have a bit of insight into our power issue:

How Much Electricity Could A Hamster Generate On A Wheel…?

It sounds like we will need to consider multiple wheels and hamsters running concurrently and focus on the ’step-up’ question.

This is a useful first-step for the electrically challenged (such as myself) to get a handle on some basic concepts:

Simple Electric Generator

Uh -oh. This is not very encouraging:

Wheels of Fortune

EEK! This adds a bit more discouraging news:
