Why is the generator different looking in each of the images?

Could it possibly be AI? ¯\(ツ)

What, you don't think that the air filter and gas tank aren't designed to move from spot to spot? Or maybe you have issues with the innovative dual intake dual carb setup?

I'm not sure it's definitely AI, part of the 'generator' appears to be the Lenovo power brick and where they have it attached moving around.

Not sure about the chain in the middle right picture though.

Each of the pieces, red, white and black are different shaped and sized in each of the pictures.

The fuel tank is aligned with the red thing in the left picture and the black thing in the others.

The connection to the laptop has a 15cm gap between the machinery and the laptop in the left picture, but it is directing connected in the top right picture.

There are 2 tubes missing in the top right picture.

The chain is the opposite way round in the left and bottom right images and it's completely missing in the top right.

Shall I continue?

Hey, the pictures was taken during the work in progress

Great design, with the exhaust pointing directly at the user.

Also, I feel like a 100W solar cell (about 0.5 m^2^) and an extra battery would be slightly more practical for off-grid computing.

Yeah by the time one web page opens the user will be long dead.

It is rather difficult to browse the interweb when you are off the grid…

There's this amazing invention called satellites

fartographer@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 109d

That kind of technology goes over my head

Ioughttamow@fedia.io · 2 pts · 109d

Thus sharply cutting power use!

Cyrus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 109d

That’s how it should be. Look what they took from us!

Sometimes people want to redneck for redneckings sake.

The correct solution is either a battery bank or a battery bank with the tiniest generator(of your chosen power source)

Zwiebel@feddit.org · 3 pts · 109d (2 replies)

Or a normal generator with a few meters of cable

testaccount789@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 109d (1 reply)

Or, hear me out, build a remote nuclear power plant, set up long cables to get the electricity to your laptop, and sell the excess power for profit.

Zwiebel@feddit.org · 1 pts · 108d

Step 1: Build npp
Step 2: plug in cable
Done.

Fuck, thats a good price.

Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 16 pts · 109d

And all that for just 1.5 hours of runtime.

Jankatarch@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 109d

Install gentoo.

This is the most Mad Max object I’ve ever seen in real life

db2@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 109d (2 replies)

You still haven't seen it in real life, it's a picture on the internet and it's slop anyway.

SomeDudeFromSpace@lemmy.ml · 0 pts · 108d (1 reply)

You must be fun at parties

db2@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 108d

Your mom certainly thinks so

magnetosphere@fedia.io · 6 pts · 109d

One of a kind

gee I wonder why

Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 109d

I'm going to claim it's fake because there is nothing resembling a generator in the photos.
