Technology Review: Harnessing Hamster Power with a Nanogenerator

I could've told them a long time ago that hamsters can power your gadgets. Although, this method is just putting us one step closer to the Matrix.

I have mine charging up my headphone gear, like my Pico.

But, I like to keep them away from my headphones...

Difference is the Matrix used body heat, not motion capture, but I see the parallel.

P.S.: Don't forget a rectifier or you could potentially fry your gadgets if the hamster runs in the wrong direction !!!

Or you could train your hamster so you can get alternating current.
