A 16-year-old boy has devised a way to charge his cell phone with the help of
his hamster. Peter Ash of Lawford, Somerset designed a hamster wheel that
utilized gears and turbines to charge his cell phone. According to his tests
every two minutes of wheel time gives his phone 30 minutes of talk time. If only
the hamster knew how he was being exploited for free energy he would be going on
strike demanding bigger carrots and more wood bedding.
Now I just need him to develop a USB version to charge my laptops!
