Hamster Wheel Energy Generation

Rudy, a scientist, shares his journey from a pet store to a lab, and finally to developing a regenerative energy system using hamster wheels. He explains the calculations for power generation, the practical setup required, and the breeding strategy to maintain a sustainable hamster population. The system is designed to be stackable and environmentally sustainable.
