Giant Hamster Wheel Powers Your PC

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009 – running time 01:41
From the inverter you plug into, to battery banks used to store energy, a Human Sized Hamster Wheel powered PC has a lot in common with other alternative energy sources like Solar, Wind, Water or Bicycles! Watch as we take human powered PCs to a whole new level.

Watch us build a human powered PC on this episode of Systm!

David and Patrick borrowed the ten foot high hamster wheel that powers theThe Disgusting Spectacle (Thanks you to the ever charming Tracy and Don!), pulled a couple motors from David's stockpile, one of Patrick's inverters and his Giant Box of Wire, and got busy in the ridiculously cool NIMBY Space in West Oakland.
