Human Hamster Wheel

Location

Gordon Field House - GOR-0325

Have you ever wanted to be a hamster? Now's the time to try our Human Hamster Wheel and become a human hamster! At 7ft in diameter, the HHW is one of Engineering House's largest projects. The HHW was conceived and created by members of the Engineering House a few years ago. Since then, individual parts have been upgraded and redesigned to improve safety and give data output. The HHW is able to take your mechanical energy from the wheel and convert it into electrical energy! A person running on the wheel causes a generator to spin and can power various electronics. The screen is able to display the amount of power generated by the person (in hamster power!) and the average speed they achieve while on the wheel.
