Great idea because they are nocturnal animals. Proper lubricating on a recommended schedule will make the wheel more efficient and QUIETER!
I sense a discussion being 'generated' as to the best lube agent: Ayr gel, KY Jelly, or Chapstick....
No, No and NO! Only use Vaseline as all the others are TOXIC to hamsters.
I thought I'd jump in here before some "Guest" started spewing PETA venom about the horrors of Lipoid Pneumonia in hamsters used for power sources.

I AM SO, SO, SO SORRY!
Thank you very, very much. I never knew! Good thing I just happened to use Vaseline when I had my hamster.

Again, opinions here are not meant to harm any form of hamster!

The "Hamster Wheel Generator"... very portable and runs on food pellets.
