The Minority Report

It would seem that some researchers over at Georgia Tech have pulled the
hamsters
out of
their assespulled the hamsters out of their asses and put them to more creative use…generating electricity. Read on…

In a paper published online this week in the journal Nano Letters, Wang’s group describes using the nanogenerator to harvest different kinds of biomechanical energy. The researchers attached the nanogenerator to a person’s index finger and recorded the power output when it tapped on a surface. They also harvested energy from a hamster wearing a small jacket affixed to the device as the rodent ran on an exercise wheel and scratched itself.

Looks like no more rolling blackouts for San Francisco in the very near future.
