HSHW (Human-Sized Hamster Wheel)

Why build a catapult when you can build an HSHW? The Society of Physics Students sponsored this build project; when you run on the wheel, it generates enough electricity to provide light and heat t...

It is in the ballpark of 10 Watts at a slow run. But that is becuase we did not have the ideal gearing. We could have made a more complicated gearing system to get a lot more power, but we did not. So it is not a question of how long you would have to run, but really of how fast. It would take a very fast run to keep a 100 Watt (bright incandescent) bulb lit. So in order to power a house, we would need better gears, and then it would probably take about 10 of the wheels.
