This is a regular hamster running wheel hooked up to a stepper motor I had laying around scavenged from old printers/scanners.
The Roborovski Hamster, although it is the smallest hamster existing, it is also the one who runs faster, making possible to light up the white LEDs.
I don't think a Syrian Hamster (the bigger, most common one) is able to make as much power has the Roborovski as they run much slower.
