A computer gaming It usually consumes much more energy than a common one. After all, if you want to get the most out of next-generation video games, it will be necessary to have quite demanding components at the energy level. If this is too much for your electricity bill, there is good news. Following in the footsteps of this youtuber you can build your own gasoline-based PC.
He youtuber in question is basically homeless, whose real name is Nick Zetta. Well, in a recent 16 minute video, Zetta tells us about the vicissitudes experienced during the construction of this computer gaming gasoline-based. A milestone in engineering that probably no one is going to want to replicate (because of its difficulty), but that is more than interesting for lovers of mechanics, computing and any other science that has to do with not touching grass for a while.
To power his gasoline-based gaming PC, Nick Zetta used a miniature V8 engine. After a series of steps and 75 days of great effortmanaged to convert the machine’s power into usable current.
The process for building a gasoline-powered computer (don’t try this at home)
The gaming computer in question used by basically homeless It is composed of high-level components. From an ASRock Steel Legend motherboard, through an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, a Samsung 990 Pro SSD and an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX video card. That is to say, required a lot of power to just get it to turn on.
The process of transforming gasoline into energy was quite complicated, as described by Zetta. After dropping an initial method, the youtuber he opted for a more complicated one. From now on, the V8 engine was connected to a pair of DC motors, both of which were connected to a voltage regulator. Finally, the latter was connected directly to a special power source for the gasoline-based PC.
The result of a lot of effort
Once everything was assembled with a lot of effort, time and dedication, Zetta sat down in front of her computer. After turning on the PC with a small lever, a key (like a car of a lifetime) and pressing the motor pedal several times, the PC finally gave signs of life and fired up all its RGB lights to full glory.
Unfortunately, gasoline powered pc only made it to initial BIOS screen. Perhaps with less demanding components, the result would have been more durable. However, Zetta was very happy with the final result, despite not being able to enjoy a game before the computer shut down again. So much so that he promised a second part for some time in the future.
After all, the very idea of powering up a gasoline-powered PC is awesome. In the future it may be the only way to play. After all, we are headed for a total collapse of the power grid from heat waves, outdated system design, and increasingly demanding cities.
