Supposing that NTG's internet is powered by 1HAMP (1 hamster power), what would you need to run it 24x7 with any degree of reliability?
To begin, some definitions:
RAIHAM 1 - Two wheels, with a hamster each.
RAIHAM 0 - Single wheel, two hamsters
RAIHAM 10 - Two wheels, two hamsters each
Given the below data sets, we see hamsters run an average of 4 hours per day

As hamsters are nocturnal and primarily active at night, you will need to have at least 6 RAIHAM's setup on separate light/dark schedules.
Assumptions:
- Hamsters are fed and cared for
- Hamsters will run together on the wheel
NTG's hamsternet will require 12 RAIHAM 10's setup into 6 banks of 4 hour offset groups to achieve even close to 99% uptime.
NTG's hamsternet will house 48 hamsters, who will run on average 192 miles every 24 hours.
