Love it! Ordering one now.
Now get your camera ready to capture your friends' reaction. lol.. I bet one of these videos will make it to America's funniest home video contest!
1. How long can the hamster run on a fully charger 85 kWh battery?
2. How many miles can he run during that period?

according to the site a hamster should be able to put out 150mA @ 3V, this equates to 0.45w, you need 85kWh to charge the battery. this means that....
Full charge from dead will take = 21 Years of consistent output
Top off charge for the day (lets say you drive 40km per day, 7.5kWh) = 1.89 Years.
that obviously takes too long so if you have a hamster power farm of 500 generators you could charge your car from dead in 15.7 Days!
not bad at all....

After showing my wife the video I said, "Now watch, someone will figure out how long it would take to charge the car via hamster." I'm glad I wasn't disappointed.
