Hamster Power!

Do you want to know a great idea for conserving energy? Get little furry animals to provide power.

A London-based consultant has designed a paper shredder that uses no electricity. Instead it taps into a much more eco-friendly source of power, a hamster.

29-year old Tom Ballhatchet is the mastermind behind this creative device. All you need is one hyperactive hamster and some private documents and your are in for some shredding fun.

All this furry little creature has to do is run on a dead sprint for 45 minutes and you can shred one piece of paper.

The best part is that your pet will have some nice soft bedding in his cage after a vigorous workout.
