im a plastic manufacturer owner... we dont do this for recycle because of the toxic gases it emits and the contaminating residual that it produce. This is called pirolisis and its very bad. Most plastics can be recycle up to 7 times without loosing much of its carecteristics. Then you disolve them in acid. Not good, but more clean, much more clean
For cars, definitely mix some acetone, paint thinner or methanol (old school antifreeze) to make it higher octane. There are even videos of people running petrol engines on reducers. As usual, use a biodigestor or sawdust stove (mine burns for half a day) to save time from refueling during distillation. As a sheet metal man, I could turn sheet metal into a tub or make sawdust stoves as wide as I want them to be. I worked with mechanics next door many times by the way.
Sawdust stove is kinda a new one on me! I've used it to fire pottery but for some reason didn't consider it as a generic heat source. If you have any other related keywords I wouldn't be offended if you shared them. Thanks!
Man i have a question for You, since the oil industry in My country was distroyed, we have access to a very low quality fuel, very low octane, and it's mixed with diesel most of the time. It is destroying our engines. My question is, can i mix it with thinner in order to improve the performance of the fuel.
@@frankmujik9618 30 yrs experience. Real experience, not internet experience. yes. There are plenty of videos on how to make urr own fuel easily. Also any 190 proof whiskey will add the lost octane or use racing fuel, JP8 jet fuel etc. Too low causes knock, and knock causes u to spend 1200.00 on a used engine to replace the blown up old 1. The oil n gas hit here in Pa around 2007. I left for Marines and Dad said they was hiring anybody they could find cause there was so much work. Now my beautiful country setting is filled with bad roads from all trucks, rent is sky high, u can't drive anywhere and make time cause u always behind a oil, gas well semi of some kind. And ppl getting cancer so much I don't know any 1 who hasn't lost family to it, is going through it, or has died from it. It's alarming. 2 ppl I know personally wasn't feeling well, went to Dr, 1 was in 40s and died on a week of esophagus cancer, 1 from liver cancer, and my buddy Jake lived 6 months after he got diagnosed. It was a small tumor and then just went wild and he wasted away and died 6 months later. That's a very common case here for everyone. Why? All its done is ruin land, lives and made a few rich. That's it. Gas is high, oil products are high and oils in alot of stuff we use daily, rent and homes are insanely high etc. Sad. Very sad. and not a dam thing we can do but just take it.
Yes you can, @@frankmujik9618! Mix your fuel with alcohol to increase its octane by a bit, mix your fuel with toluene (paint thinner) to increase it by a lot. Be careful with toluene though, that stuff is highly toxic and your car might fail emissions if you mix too much in. Ethanol has an RON octane rating of 109, toluene has an RON of 121.
I wish there was a way for him to carry out a test that shows if it's gasoline, diesel or paraffin etc and percentages. So far, it's good, but a bit risky to put it in an internal combustion engine! External one it would definitely work all the time. Keep it up, man!

You close the cycle. Nothing is created, it is only transformed and the result is carbon dioxide to contribute to the greenhouse effect! cierras el ciclo .nada se crea solo se transforma y el resultado es dioxido de carbono para contribuir al efecto invernadero¡¡
The process produces about 10% gas which can be used in a feedback loop so no wood needed to burn. You cannot use this fuel (naphtha) directly as petrol because the octane ratio is incorrect. It's needs to be reformed first and ideally additives mixed in with it.
@@JeanRobLast technically yes only for very old engines and about 10%. However, any mixing would dilute octane and create engine knocking. Old engine without computer control (carburettor) are able use less clean fuels but produce more toxic emissions.

exactly on point if we go total green what will we do with the tons of waste plastic, ? also i think fuels derived from waste plastic may burn cleaner.!!??
Well yes but technically no, Upon burning plastic a gas is released that produces sulfur dioxide which is very harmful to both yourself and to the environment. An absence of oxygen must be created to prevent the sulfur dioxide from being created, however after this many other harmful gasses are made. I think lime is used to counteract the acidic gasses made but im not entirely sure.
I think the idea is to put less in landfills and harvest something from garbage. I saw a video doing something similar with tires. I have 400 tires to get rid of and at 10 bucks a tire to dispose of them is more than I care to spend. Great video, thanks for sharing.
@@IshaqIbrahim3 It's pretty similar as to weight. I get about 1/2 of polyetylenes as a Diesel and maybe 1/4 as a gasoline like fuel. The rest is waxy paraffins or light gases

Clever stuff. The residue left in the drum, obviously a lot less material, but does it work out less toxic/harmful than the plastic waste itself? Obviously a lot of wood was burnt to heat the drum to produce a small amount of fuel. You always need to look at the pros and cons of anything.

Use a rocket stove for heat also add wood enclosed in a container same as the plastic. This will also give you wood gas and charcoal. One more container with wood with a steam inlet and you can have activated charcoal for clean water.
Hydrocarbons. Petrol is variations of hydrocarbons. These range from benzene, toluene and various mineral spirits. They'll be mixtures of a few. You can mix and match once you have a few details easily measured with each fraction. Such a simple system isn't really cracking the various fractions though. Something more approximating a fractionating column could be employed on a scale though. The water cooling was hardly worthy of the name. I'd have cooling jackets and running water at least. Also some better seal. The best part of this is the concept is demonstrated at its most basic level. People with the knowledge can improve on this manifold and increase efficiency maybe ten times over without too much effort. Not that much by volume, but some, but above all in separating different BP hydrocarbons at least.
Its important to note that using a grinder on any enclosed container that previously carried a combustible product is extremely dangerous if your container has not been completely drained, and the fumes have not been fully evaporated. Always exercise caution when cutting open a barrel with a grinder. I know for some this is common sense but for somebody who lacks experience this is how you end up on an episode of Ridiculousness.
Strap one of these to chimney that would already be in use and get double use from the firewood. You could also use a secondary burner under the burn chamber that utilities the gas byproduct with a burner to increase efficiency and decreases the emissions . A Fresnel lens could work well as a heat source too!
I would be more effective if the barrel was place horizontally and the top of the barrel is shaped like a cone with 2 separate hose. One with a gas membrane to power the barrel fire and the other hose with a small diameter to collect the fuel. Increase the water level and add a constant cold water flow to get a cleaner fuel. It uses same process to extract gas petrol and diesel from heavy oil. Plastic is a petroleum product except for bio plastic.
I feel like the fumes is what you should really be trying to capture because that is in essence the most pure gas ⛽️ and then those layers should have multiple filters
It is not a good idea at all, the amount of energy that must be applied for the reaction to occur is not compensated at all with the gasoline that was created. its always best to melt the plastic and mold it into another object. because either you end up using a lot of fuel either firewood gas or electricity for the conversion. In addition, when you burn you are generating carbon monoxide and dioxide, which pollutes more than the plastic itself.
PET fecomposes without liquid. The main product is acetaldehyde. Citation:PET pyrolysis led to a high yield of gas fraction, a low amount of liquids, a significant yield of solid fraction, and a solid residue that remained in the reactor coating sand particles. The main products obtained are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, benzoic acid, and acetaldehyde
Wot a brilliant way to reverse global warming if only all petrol stations like esso had this plastic recycling facility think thr climate wud be solved
Cooling at diffrent temps will yeild diffrent fuels. If the 1st one wasent cooled by water it would give a more non combustable fuel. The cooler you have the gasses the more flamable they are. Once cooling gets difficult compressing the gasses would work perfectly and give things like propane and butane
Been doing this for years. We obtained 1850 litres of fuel for our tractor, lawn mower and truck last year . We had to burn many tons of waste plastic but its all free..
@thobanijoji590 We just used it raw. The tractor, mower & truck are all diesel. The only thing we did was change the fuel filters more regularly to protect the engines..
@thobanijoji590 It will depend entirely the duration of usage. With the mower and tractor it's around every 200hours but with the truck it's around every 5000miles. We probably change the fuel filters more often than is necessary but we do it to protect the pump and injectors against impurities..
Maintain temps in the pyro reactor is pretty critical or youll produce parfin based naptha. If done correctly you can make diesel fuel after refining the fuel oil produced.
Fantástico,agora vou produzir combustível más no método de segurança. Legal 😂😂😂😂 no meu bairro está cheio de plástico mesmo ,o povo aqui vai me acha que estou doido 😅😅😅
Too much heat will produce too much pressure and you end up losing fuel and igniting the contents of the barrel. Best way is a controlled source of heat and not a huge fire like this. I would replace the wood with a wick and fuel. Also need to condense the vapour as it passes through the hose. Reduces losses.
I have been looking into this a lot lately, you put a bunch of PETE in your reactor. PETE is supposed to NOT work for pyrolisis, HPDE, PP are types that can be used. Also the door you put into the reactor does not seal so it is letting air in which is not supposed to work IE the plastic burns instead of reducing to fuel.
@@bitsofeverything8385 Yeah I saw him seal it up but if you look at it at around 5:44 you can see it is no longer sealed and flames are coming out of the barrel at the "hatch" leak. Im not saying that you wont get a distillate with a leak, just that it will not be as pure or clean. From my research, PETE turns into a caustic gas and a sulfur like substance, it does not pyrolize. I am assuming you are referring to "refining" as in distilling the crude fuel produced down into it's distillates IE gasoline, kerosene, diesel etc.? I am in the process of building a reactor as I write this, it is about 90% done now and I am almost ready for my first run, then refine my design.
@@tomhubbard353 You right there, you refreshed my memory, i expected the catalizers at the end of the process (and yes that's what i was referring to) should take care of the sulphur, i'll have to google caustic gas. I seen quite a nice video of a enterprise trying to sell their product, if the specifications correct and one wouldn't want to mess with it seems as an acceptable option, however at long term one would need to build it's own i agree. My point with this last part is that they detailed quite well the way their apparatus work.
@@davidwillard7334 True, mine is made of SS, considerably smaller, probably five maybe seven gallon capacity. Even it has a life expectancy. I am currently "pre-melting" IE flattening and condensing my consumables, plan is to build a shredder after I get the kinks worked out of the reactor/condenser/distillery.
Something like this? ua-cam.com/video/-LDpnlGWxgM/v-deo.html Technically yes I guess but to maximize efficiency, I'd rather to add small amount of fuel to reach 450~800℃. Heat from a solar mirror can only make it around 400℃ which is bare minimal for plastic pyrolysis. Not to mention, heat insulation will also be a problem. However, 400℃ is also good enough for fractal distillation process.
Depends on the engine. Then you'd experiment with various mixtures of the different fractions, maybe a bit of some additive and no reason why not. It would take a little experimenting. I used to run a work van I used for photocopier services in the liquid copier days and the developer, which was isooctane would run the van when I ran of fuel on those outback roads and long trips as happened sometimes. Engines are more finicky now. Older engines with carburetors that can easily be adjusted for the mixture of air and fuel.
O ,come nel mio caso, si può usare la corrente gratis del mio impianto fotovoltaico, di giorno,dopo due ,tre ore le batterie sono cariche, per altre 4 o 5 ore ho 400 wh gratis !
@@Twogreenfeet difficult to answer....I speak in principle, burning wood to obtain fuel which will then be burned seems very inefficient and polluting to me, at least if we eliminate a harmful part of the process it is better...👋👋
This innovation is highly commendable as it will reduce plastic from the waste stream. However, using fuel wood as a source of energy to heat the plastic and convert it to oil entails going through the deforestation process to acquire the fuel wood. Fuel wood combustion will again emits carbon into the environment.
You still need to put it through a catalytic cracking unit and then fractionally distill it id even pyrolyse it a few time over and same with catalytic unit till there’s no tar at all then you can split the longer chain carbons(diesel) and shorter chain carbons(petroleum) usually you you would add some other additives as per your gas type but it’s not as simple but also not all too impossible
I strongly believe that anything is possible I would say creating a big steel tank and find a way to use electrical heat by the use of solar pannels , the biggest benefit in this case is that , almost every country around the world has this problem, it would be a very good way of facing this polution problem , and you would generate income by selling the oil for a much cheaper price . Of course this would be an industrial investment unfortunately governments aren't interested on fixing the global plastic proble we face !!!!
Best one I have see to demonstrate how simple the process is and on a larger scale the flue gas could replace the wood in the process.
The irony in this is; you have to burn something to have something to burn.
I saw a more advanced version like this before, where the creator used some of the fuel created to reduce the plastics to usable fuel.
So, it is doable!
You can use Solar power as well.

It is OK., but if you can seal the barrel better will get more liters and decrease pollution.
Can you make plastic into Ethanol Gas or E85 or just Bio Diseal ?
Interesting experiment. Thanks
Strap one of these to chimney that would already be in use and get double use from the firewood. You could also use a secondary burner under the burn chamber that utilities the gas byproduct with a burner to increase efficiency and decreases the emissions . A Fresnel lens could work well as a heat source too!
Ooh men l like you're short and well explained video probably will do this
Well done, dude!
Would be very interesting to know what came out of each container.
You can also seal a moonshine still with dough.🍸🍹🍾
For learning the process great video. From economic point of view??? How many wood You burn for 3litters gas?
However Great Video. Thanks.
Who measures Gas in Liters?
How would you add wood to your existing gasoline tank?
Great video thanks for sharing my friend...God bless 🙌
This is cleverly built ❤
I would be more effective if the barrel was place horizontally and the top of the barrel is shaped like a cone with 2 separate hose. One with a gas membrane to power the barrel fire and the other hose with a small diameter to collect the fuel. Increase the water level and add a constant cold water flow to get a cleaner fuel. It uses same process to extract gas petrol and diesel from heavy oil. Plastic is a petroleum product except for bio plastic.
The reason why this works is because plastic is made from what petrol and diesel is made from
What's left in the barrel?
I feel like the fumes is what you should really be trying to capture because that is in essence the most pure gas ⛽️ and then those layers should have multiple filters
A good idea, now we need to remove plastic from the oceans, he still has value...
It is not a good idea at all, the amount of energy that must be applied for the reaction to occur is not compensated at all with the gasoline that was created. its always best to melt the plastic and mold it into another object. because either you end up using a lot of fuel either firewood gas or electricity for the conversion. In addition, when you burn you are generating carbon monoxide and dioxide, which pollutes more than the plastic itself.
PET fecomposes without liquid. The main product is acetaldehyde.
Citation:PET pyrolysis led to a high yield of gas fraction, a low amount of liquids, a significant yield of solid fraction, and a solid residue that remained in the reactor coating sand particles. The main products obtained are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, benzoic acid, and acetaldehyde
Interesting idea,but we need to do more testing
@Pyrolysis_Tashkent Interesting,but why aren`t we using this in mass production,its soo efficient(we can turn waste plastic into fuel)
Wot a brilliant way to reverse global warming if only all petrol stations like esso had this plastic recycling facility think thr climate wud be solved
Cooling at diffrent temps will yeild diffrent fuels. If the 1st one wasent cooled by water it would give a more non combustable fuel. The cooler you have the gasses the more flamable they are. Once cooling gets difficult compressing the gasses would work perfectly and give things like propane and butane
Vvery nice.👍Can i use a diesel heater from aliexpress to burn this fuel ?
hi this is very interesting .my qeustion is what fuel is in the thrree cans and in what order does it escape from the reactor.
The thickest most viscous come out 1st.
Excellent job 👍👍👍
Been doing this for years. We obtained 1850 litres of fuel for our tractor, lawn mower and truck last year . We had to burn many tons of waste plastic but its all free..
do you do anything after obtaining it this way or just pour on tractor in its raw form
@thobanijoji590
We just used it raw.
The tractor, mower & truck are all diesel. The only thing we did was change the fuel filters more regularly to protect the engines..
Thanks alot
By changing filter often you mean monthly or 6 monthly or yearly, I just want to estimate how careful I should be using time duration
@thobanijoji590
It will depend entirely the duration of usage. With the mower and tractor it's around every 200hours but with the truck it's around every 5000miles.
We probably change the fuel filters more often than is necessary but we do it to protect the pump and injectors against impurities..
Plenty of scrap wood about and we'll worth the work to get a gallon of diesel
what to do with the waste in the barrel?
Just throw it out somewhere. It's India mate :D
Add copper to the last tube. Run it back to the barrel. Let it boil itself
Maintain temps in the pyro reactor is pretty critical or youll produce parfin based naptha. If done correctly you can make diesel fuel after refining the fuel oil produced.
do you know how to refine?
Awesome, thank you for making this, what happens to the burnt plastic.. is it any good for anything, building blocks or insulation?
carcinogen heap
Fantástico,agora vou produzir combustível más no método de segurança. Legal 😂😂😂😂 no meu bairro está cheio de plástico mesmo ,o povo aqui vai me acha que estou doido 😅😅😅
Já aprendi o que faze com o resíduo do plástico da fornalha ,bloquete de piso ou telha 😂😂😂
Are are you stopping it from turning back into a solid after cooled off
Too much heat will produce too much pressure and you end up losing fuel and igniting the contents of the barrel. Best way is a controlled source of heat and not a huge fire like this.
I would replace the wood with a wick and fuel. Also need to condense the vapour as it passes through the hose. Reduces losses.
Complimenti, molto ingegnoso.
I have been looking into this a lot lately, you put a bunch of PETE in your reactor. PETE is supposed to NOT work for pyrolisis, HPDE, PP are types that can be used. Also the door you put into the reactor does not seal so it is letting air in which is not supposed to work IE the plastic burns instead of reducing to fuel.
I guess you didn't see he did seal it before starting it up, i think PETE generates gas but i'm not certain.
I would rather think about refining.
@@bitsofeverything8385 Yeah I saw him seal it up but if you look at it at around 5:44 you can see it is no longer sealed and flames are coming out of the barrel at the "hatch" leak. Im not saying that you wont get a distillate with a leak, just that it will not be as pure or clean. From my research, PETE turns into a caustic gas and a sulfur like substance, it does not pyrolize. I am assuming you are referring to "refining" as in distilling the crude fuel produced down into it's distillates IE gasoline, kerosene, diesel etc.? I am in the process of building a reactor as I write this, it is about 90% done now and I am almost ready for my first run, then refine my design.
@@tomhubbard353 You right there, you refreshed my memory, i expected the catalizers at the end of the process (and yes that's what i was referring to) should take care of the sulphur, i'll have to google caustic gas.
I seen quite a nice video of a enterprise trying to sell their product, if the specifications correct and one wouldn't want to mess with it seems as an acceptable option, however at long term one would need to build it's own i agree.
My point with this last part is that they detailed quite well the way their apparatus work.
Forty four Gallon Rusty ! Drum ! The Reactor ! Won't LAST ! That ! Long ! Anyway !!
@@davidwillard7334 True, mine is made of SS, considerably smaller, probably five maybe seven gallon capacity. Even it has a life expectancy. I am currently "pre-melting" IE flattening and condensing my consumables, plan is to build a shredder after I get the kinks worked out of the reactor/condenser/distillery.
I'm currently working on this project for my BSC program
Where can we follow it up or be taught progress
Could you do this with concentrated sun light?
Something like this?
ua-cam.com/video/-LDpnlGWxgM/v-deo.html
Technically yes I guess but to maximize efficiency, I'd rather to add small amount of fuel to reach 450~800℃. Heat from a solar mirror can only make it around 400℃ which is bare minimal for plastic pyrolysis.
Not to mention, heat insulation will also be a problem.
However, 400℃ is also good enough for fractal distillation process.
I bet your car will love it
mine will burn it no problem.
id even put it in my international tractor too.....
I like your handle
Sri Lanka needs this.
We need this in south africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Be careful you need wood
@@maurerdavidji007 not necessarily, just any source of significant heat. if you insulated it you wouldn’t need as much fuel
Easier to fill up at the meter. but good video.
How long do this barrel last? Exposed to opened fire, it will very soon burn out and have holes on the bottom
What is the paste that is applied to the barrel opening?
Looks like flour
Good job my brother!!
can you use this for a car?
Depends on the engine. Then you'd experiment with various mixtures of the different fractions, maybe a bit of some additive and no reason why not. It would take a little experimenting. I used to run a work van I used for photocopier services in the liquid copier days and the developer, which was isooctane would run the van when I ran of fuel on those outback roads and long trips as happened sometimes. Engines are more finicky now. Older engines with carburetors that can easily be adjusted for the mixture of air and fuel.
Yes plastic cam fron petroleum gasolina cam fron petroleum. Is same
SEEMS TO ME A GREAT WAY TO GET RID OF ALL THE PLASTIC BEING DUMPED EVERYWHERE & MAKE SOMEBODY REALLY RICH, PROVIDE JOBS & TAXABLE INCOME. WIN WIN
Most useful video on the internet
Great job done brother , owo.................go ahead
very nice 👍 great work 👍 my friend
i think you can combine this system with a Solar Cooker. You will not need to use wood to burn anymore.
O ,come nel mio caso, si può usare la corrente gratis del mio impianto fotovoltaico, di giorno,dopo due ,tre ore le batterie sono cariche, per altre 4 o 5 ore ho 400 wh gratis !
Whats the highest temp you have achieved with your solar cooker?
@@Twogreenfeet difficult to answer....I speak in principle, burning wood to obtain fuel which will then be burned seems very inefficient and polluting to me, at least if we eliminate a harmful part of the process it is better...👋👋
@@Udmudmudmlow power fresnel lens
6:43 Third Bowl: Nah! I got it chief🗿🔥
This innovation is highly commendable as it will reduce plastic from the waste stream. However, using fuel wood as a source of energy to heat the plastic and convert it to oil entails going through the deforestation process to acquire the fuel wood. Fuel wood combustion will again emits carbon into the environment.
It is not petrol as such. It is some another polyster oil.
Never try it in your car or bike 😄😂😂
How would this stuff work in lanterns or oil lamps?
You still need to put it through a catalytic cracking unit and then fractionally distill it id even pyrolyse it a few time over and same with catalytic unit till there’s no tar at all then you can split the longer chain carbons(diesel) and shorter chain carbons(petroleum) usually you you would add some other additives as per your gas type but it’s not as simple but also not all too impossible
Do you have a book or link or video, anything that can teach me that process
I strongly believe that anything is possible I would say creating a big steel tank and find a way to use electrical heat by the use of solar pannels , the biggest benefit in this case is that , almost every country around the world has this problem, it would be a very good way of facing this polution problem , and you would generate income by selling the oil for a much cheaper price . Of course this would be an industrial investment unfortunately governments aren't interested on fixing the global plastic proble we face !!!!
