I just put mine in a jar and leave it in the sun for a few days.

Evaporation isn't the breakdown of 2(H2O) --> 2(H2) + O2 (hydrogen and oxygen) like electrolysis... It's just water molecules overcoming the intermolecular force and not wanting to be liquid anymore, H2O(l) --> H2O(g), still just water and sadly no good as a fuel.

It was a joke. Besides, the jar obviously has a lid! I wouldn’t want to be wasteful.

What's the carbon impact of your lid though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Well, it’s made of carbon—so, 100%?

What a coincidence, my perpetual motion machine works on lids

Well, a lid only needs to be screwed once. Let me get you over to our personal healthcare department. I can think of a few things I need to have screwed perpetually with no energy waste.
