gas powered rule
(midwest.social)
1961.5 hours runtime for like half a liter of gasoline?? That's unbelievably inefficient. A half-liter of gasoline is like 15MJ, should power a laptop drawing 30W for a week.
Maybe it would be better with a fuel cell.
That's gonna be one unhappy hard drive, if it still has one.
With the current energy prices for fossil, I feel like it'd be a smarter thing to charge them through off-grid solar.
seriousness aside, this is cursed and awesome. wonder how long it'd take for the tank to run out after running modded Minecraft w/ shaders?
My generator runs basically the same consumption regardless of whether you have a 150 or 300w load on it so probably the difference is going to be negligible.
Was about to say. I can't help but feel like it'd be easier to put solar cells on the back of the laptop and let them charge its normal battery.
I don't think a solar array the size of the back of a laptop screen would be enough to run it, but it'd definitely be enough to charge it.
Nice profile picture, and by the way, I'm not on an airplane

That there is not the work of any scientist.
