Hamster-powered paper shredder

While having a hamster run endless cycles in its exercise wheel is not enough to generate electricity to power any kind of electronic device, this homebrew idea hooks up the humble hamster and its exercise wheel to a paper shredder, where each revolution of the exercise wheel results in your paper getting shred bit by bit. Of course, this shredder will probably be able to take in nothing other than paper since credit cards would be way too thick for the hamster and could result in a cardiac arrest.
