Homemade Precision Hamster Wheel lol.. Part. 1

Or, just a generator with a dummy load resistor. After all, you don't want the motion to
go totally into runaway, like a treadmill-trap that requires a spotter for
safe operation. A hamster could want to go slow sometimes, but rarely wants to
loop-the-loop. A simple magnet applied to the disk (assuming it's not ferromagnetic)
would apply some braking.

i was afraid that might happen, may need some drag inducing device
 
Very nice design! Just be cautious about the possibility of hamster whiz causing electrolytic corrosion between the steel and aluminum. I don't think the hamster would gnaw on the acrylic. But I've had gerbils totally destroy a plastic hamster wheel 'way back when.

maybe need to electro plate the base metal, aluminum i might annodize
 
actually i am not sure what species he is, but its a white hamster, it's in my youtube
 
Is there a picture there? I'm not seeing it
Some browser setting I need to check?

So....I'm trying to figure out what the word hamster is a code name for.
