    I would assume one would go full speed on the hamster wheel, now with the magnet behaving like a dynamo, & generate so much electricity it would electrocute the family.

    The hamster ofc wouldn’t stop running & over the next few days build up so much energy it would successfully super sayan way past level 9000 and start moving from world to world just destroying planets for fun.

      The safest way to do it would be making a segmented enclosure: night cage with a comfortable resting area and one for use during the day with the wheel and magnet. Also change out the hamster for a ferret. This way, any hazardous charge that builds up will be contained within the ferret day cage.

      Tragically flawed, but still a beautiful story.

      HOWEVER, this has inspired me to build a hamster wheel with PEMs around its circumference and surrounded by stator windings so I can get my hamster to charge a battery. I mean, if I had a hamster, I would definitely make this a weekend project. Or I’d at least search for this on YouTube to see who else has already done it with cute results.
