Using some metal sheets and rods, you could fashion and attach a big hamster wheel to the experimental generator. You can then get inside of it and run to power the generator, or force a monkey inside and attack the monkey to make the wheel turn.
Of course, this would eventually kill the monkey from abuse and exhaustion, meaning further monkey fuel would be required.

Why not just recycle the current sprite for the belts, and have treadmill generators.

Because that's not nearly as funny.

Use the running power to recharge the tasers and batons they had to expend chasing them down.

Hook somebody up with an IV drip full of some ungodly concoction of drugs designed to replenish stamina and force someone on a meth high to power telescience.

to elaborate, I do have some (admittedly very old) code where the hamster wheel works and generates power! However I do not have a full set of animated sprites for it, arki never finished them as far as I know.
However if someone can get me a complete sprite set, I will dig up the old files and get it in the game!

I've never made any sprites for SS13 before, but I'm definitely interested in learning. Is there a page or topic I can go to and find out more about file size/format/whatever else I would need to get this off the ground?
EDIT: Fired up photoshop and gave it a try, something like this?

Perhaps you could unscrew the hamster wheel from its housing and use it as a mode of transportation too, having it knock people down like the segway

Add glass once you've unscrewed it and make the human hamster ball. Do it.
