USB hamster wheel great pet for typists

zekrahminator · Oct 5, 2006

When most people get pets, they have to keep them clean, groom them, feed them, take them to the doctor when necessary, and play with them. This is one pet that really doesn't need more then a free USB port and 2 AA batteries. For just 25 pounds (or 38 Euros, or 50 dollars), you can get a USB hamster wheel from crazyaboutgadgets.. Aside from being cute, this electronic hamster enjoys running faster the faster you type. So if a user is a slow typist, the electronic hamster will take a relaxing stroll on the wheel, and if the user is a very fast typist, the hamster will sprint.

How to kill your pets 101... yep that is so smart...

Which is why I mentioned multiple times it was an electronic hamster

Ah, well - LOOK @ THE "BRIGHT SIDE":

Not all those hamsters need die needlessly!

Perhaps, since they 'multiply like rabbits'?

Well, you can get a couple of them (1 male, & 1 female) & then, + let them breed like mad first, so you get your workers count up there, first!

Then, (with "mad scientist" laff) -> Use them to generate more power than USB consumes, & power things in your home w/ it!

* NOBODY STEAL THAT IDEA, it's mine, lol:

"Bioelectric Hamster Fleet FUSION!"

(Ya, right... lol!)

Too late, I already patented it!

Edit: Zerk, you KNOW someone is going to rip of the "fake" hamster and put on a real one...

Odd that it needs two AA's, seems like they could have just made it draw power from USB.

zekrahminator · Oct 5, 2006

When you have such fast typists like Alec, you kinda need the extra power

"DAM (misspelling intentional, lol! Editing per request) STRAIGHT!!!"

* Going off on that first word in this post thread, aren't I?

APK

P.S.=> But, you HAVE A POINT: If/when I try? I can rattle off 80wpm, & 100% accurate (making corrections as I type, I usually do, can't help it... lol!) & editing?

Man... I could power my PC via "bioelectric hamsterfleet FUSION", lol! 80wpm to run IF I could get up to 3 watts per key typed here, & AT FULL LOAD (gaming)? I'd need 6 watts per keystroke (lotta hamsters? I don't know, lol!).

Who cares? I could have them make more, & they'd like it, lol! The perfect trap, removes the desire of the prisoner to escape, & all that, hehe!

I can picture myself yelling at them to "row!!!", when I hit a power-spike, or need to play a game (powering vidcard)... apk

I'd like once again to remind everyone that the hamster is ALREADY INSIDE THE WHEEL and is FULLY ELECTRONIC. Oh yes and Alecstar, in my opinion you really do you the D word alot, I'd appreciate it if you stopped using the D word...and I'd also think PVT would appreciate it if you edited your last couple posts. Cussing makes an overly verbose IT legend into an overly verbose IT sailor lol.

Wait, when did I cuss, what is wrong with my posts?

Cool, & I don't think "Z" really minds either, but... imo? We have fooled the system spellchecker... and?

Did you know, that technically? Words of that nature aren't 'swearing', unless the word GOD appears in front of them... otherwise, it MAY be considered 'profanity' though.

(Some techno-FYI, that iirc, is right!)

I love being a mod :cool:

. And yes I read your edit lol...I have no problems with your posts, in case you're curious

. I rarely have trouble with anyones posts, unless they are flat out spam, which is when I have fun with the banning/thread deleting perks of being a moderator

Alec§taar · Oct 5, 2006

Good, now, onto the "real deal" - the question of my overclock method for it, using real hamsters... feed them good, treat them well, but work the heck outta 'em!

* I wonder how many hamsters on a wheel generator engine would it take to power up my pc, & how fast of a typist you'd have to be, for "Bioelectric HamsterFleet FUSION USB POWER 1.0" (still working on "THE" name, via edits)? lol...

I want to see that prototype lol, and good luck with it! I should MSPaint some blueprints, I feel artistically inspired! I haven't had a good run with MSPaint since my idea of Quad-SLI Passive cooling...this is gonna be fun!

Well, I am just laying out the "intellectual property rights" now, is all... Gotta have that all down first, in writing!

* Feed plants around yard with the 'waste' lol, "stay green" too...

(What will we think of next? Gotta cost it out, but, lol... might be doable, feeding & clean up after them... @ least to charge power cells like big NickelCad deals for powering runs on PURE "Bioelectric HamsterFleet USB POWERED FUSION 1.0"... lol!)

* Ah, this is nuts! lol... but watch, it wouldn't surprise me if someone turned around & tried this... lol!

(Running the most powerful generators possible from a hamster... lol, perhaps giving them ROIDS & such for that 'extra kick', lol!)

Oh, ok - maybe not the last one... that'd upset animal rights & all that, but this whole thing probably does anyhow (disclaimer - this is NOT serious! Or, is it? Inquiring minds want to know!)

Ok, hamsters + viagra / whatever + roids + lots of food = hamster armies in which we can make millions of kilajolts... and all that crap... flux capacitor...

HAhahaha... lol!

Yea, but what if the hamsters decide to revolt (pun intended, last 4 letters, lol!) & use the Flux Capacitor to go back into time, & stop humans from ever being?

* Ok though, enough for me... I am outta this one, as we are "warping into the 5th dimension by now", or worse...

APK

P.S.=> Plus, I really DO NOT need "animal rights activists" (I like animals actually & treat them as well as I can in fact) on my case either, lol... Headline would read:

"ANIMAL RIGHTS BROKEN WHEN INVENTOR USES IDEA"

When interviewed, after being released (for implementing this), the accused stated: "BUT, I read it @ TechPowerup Forums" etc.)... apk

I think it needs work is what!!!

That is beta, is what I think...

(Drawing quality = ok because I like the lightning bolts inside the "gigawatt transmogrifier", the details (lol) & little fluorishes there "show you care", but, some of your circuitry, & ... I mean, what is this? Giving me ONLY 1 hamster to work with... !!!)

And, where is the 3dStudio (OR, @ least AutoCad) version at?

YOU ARE TRYING to make this look like a BAD IDEA, or what?? lol...

APK

P.S.=> It's ALL in the presentation man! Why do you think VISTA is going to sell so well? apk

zekrahminator · Oct 5, 2006

Yes I only gave you one hampster, but we're talking about genetically enhanced hammies on roids and viagra, so you only really need one

. And no 3D studios here, I don't have the money, I'll stick with MSPaint lol. Feel free to work on the MSPaint all you want, it needs enlargement and work anyways lol...the PNG is attached.

Man, given current technology? You KNOW that's infeasible! HGH, Viagra, ROIDS, whatever?

That hamster's bigger than a Rottweiler... & he has almost NO LEGS? How's he going to peddle w/ spindly legs like those (he must need those ROIDS & such, lol!)... ahhh.

(You need to work on your "scaling" skill imo... lol!)
