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

Could it possibly be AI? ¯\(ツ)/¯

    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?

    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.

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

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

    "At least the batteries won't just randomly explode" (half the comments on my hometown's FB page whenever anyone mentions EVs)
