Also, you need to feed them constantly with salad, and you cannot tell
the hamsters to run at half speed for 110V current. Also, a hamster
running at 100% all the time is exhausted and worn out after ca. 1 hour
(high performance hamsters: 1,5 hours).

Ian and I will design the nuclear power station. You don't have so much
trouble, you get warm water automatically and throw the uranium into
convential containers. Hamsters are more problematic - they "smell"
after a day or so.
