Squirrel Power (SP) is probably quite small perhaps on the order of a few tens of watts perhaps? Better have Atom cpus in those 1u boxes! :p

Look at it this way - if you have an Atom CPU you can say your PC is nuclear! :hmm:

That calls for an experiment. Lets see how many watts a single squirrel can produce. I would guess around 50ish maybe. They are very fast and full of energy but not that strong, but if you gear down you can maybe rotate a half decent size alternator. If you feed the squirrel bulk beef it might make even more energy. :D

The momma squirrel would bulk at your efforts producing a major beef that would in turn make you think of alternatives to squirrel power in the long run. Perhaps Alvin the Chipmunk would have more input.
