Re: [AtE] Hand-Held Power Generator / Hand Crank
You can put some dogs on a treadmill and as long as you stay there and keep them company like a nice person, they'll be happy to keep jogging. The bigger and leggier the dog, the more effective this is[1], but overall canines are well built for endurance. Dogs, donkeys, and horses have all been used for treadmill power for direct drive milling equipment when people don't want to - hooking them up to a generator is really just the TL 6 version of the same idea.
[1] running a dog on a powered treadmill to get them exercise is another equation - it works better with small dogs simply because you need big treadmills for big dogs :P
