Hamster-Powered Night Light

An anonymous reader writes "Though Skippy the Hamster powers this night light by running on his excercise wheel, the same concepts and low-rpm alternator design could be applied to a school science project using different energy sources! A small wind or hydro turbine could easily power this alternator. The Otherpower.com staff thought of building a hamster-powered nightlight a couple years ago at a rather, uh, soused company Christmas party. Then recently Analise, an 8th grader from Albuquerque, NM, contacted DanF through the AllExperts.com Science For Kids forum, asking 'Can a rodent generate enough electricity to power a light by running on it's wheel?'"

You subscribe to Slashdot, a popular "News for Fags" web site.

You made a joke about a site being "Slashdotted", a slang term for the application of a rimjob.

Your name includes "r0x0rs" (how passe).

Nocturnal

Why do hamsters need a night light? They're used to working in the dark because, guess what boys and girls, hamsters are nocturnal!
