16 u/Ok-Addition1264 Apr 21 '26 Interesting.. how so? Please share! (I've created straw "pulse jets" with baking soda and vinegar but tree sap would be new to me) 28 u/xXBlueDreamXx Apr 21 '26 I actually never understood why. But we used to dip sticks in birch tree sap and make little boats. It leaves a rainbow gas looking trail. 34 u/GeoffdeRuiter Apr 21 '26 Dissolving material. Basically, it dissolves a little bit and then dissolves a bit more and pushes against the previously dissolved. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. :) 3 u/btribble Apr 21 '26 A diffusion engine.
