This was explained years ago in a reality series called The Colony. The show was about survival in a post apocalyptic world but each contestant was an expert in their field. There was a doctor, an Engineer, etc etc... I believe it only ran for two seasons because of safety concerns. Regardless, I remember they had collected rain water from gutters and built a water filtering system using sand, gravel, linens and charcoal. They also managed to build a primitive windmill to generate electricity by converting it through an alternator and into linked up car batteries. Then they made oil very similar to this. It was a great show and I learned a lot.
Was ist that Show Made StLouis in an area ,surrounded with shipping Containers? In that Show they took the grease of porks and Run a old diesel with it.
Birch oil was used instead of kerosene in the oil-fueled lamps for a long time - some homesteaders use it to this day, because it is simple to make, out of natural resources, making it the perfect lantern fuel source in remote areas. It can be made out of several types of barks that are rich in oil - and birch bark is one of the, if not the richest, of them all. The only notable difference to kerosene is that this birch oil would produce heavy black smoke when burned. Other than that, their properties are highly similar. This is because there is a lot of black "ashes" from the charred bark, floating inside. If you took a filter of some sort and had the black oil seep through it, the resulting oil would be clean and produce next to no smoke at all. The byproduct of this is birch bark, turned into a charcoal. The vapors are a steam at first, the wood gas later - these byproducts are not collected during the process.
ב''ה, interesting truthiness, but if it's really soot carbon it's unlikely to head up the wick and recombust, right? But new carbon gets liberated and recombined with the combustion of the various hydrocarbons.. I'd watch a video on this, so if you can demo that it matters and isn't just a property of the differences in the oil chemicals involved, go for it.
@christopherjohnson7392 For starters, you could run your car off it. When oil got severely rationed during WW2, a bunch of European nations started converting cars to run on Wood Gas, and this is exactly how you'd make it. Just Google Wood Gas and you'll find tons of articles about it.
Bonus, you also just made some really choice charcoal that can either be activated for water filtering, burned for a low smoke high heat fuel, or composted for crops.

You can improve your yield if you put water in the bottom can. It will boil off become superheated in the middle can, and further break down the wood into additional oils. What you're essentially doing without the water is making charcoal and collecting the tar. By adding the water, you're harvesting the hydrogen from the water and adding it to the carbon from the wood to make additional oil. The water also will help trap the oil in the bottom can and keep it from burning off the light weights.
@@dustin628man, guy just explained the whole process beautifully and you completely dumpstered it when it came to understanding it. Hydrocarbons are composed of hydrogen and carbon. Not water.

You can make diesel from wood or even straw and lawn waste. Not biodiesel, straight-up diesel. You can also make char while you do it as a 1/1 carbon offset that you can bury to sequester carbon while improving poor soils.
@@laurelgardner Completely correct! Through careful filtration of tar, collection of different weights of gasses through the temperature range, and the introduction of catalysts (thermal cracking) the direct heavy oil can be converted into diesel, gasoline, propane, butane and the sort (in varying quantities) due to the chosen process. Wood gasification is a very useful and usually overlooked process of creating fuel.
Good for a slow burning torch. Can seal up wounds too but if you’re gonna do all that just use pine. Pine sap is naturally anti-bacterial and sticky as hell, perfect for glueing cuts closed.
A 1/3 of each Pine sap, charcoal and bunny shit. Mix and heat til bubbles then cool and use to glue of repair. Drys hard as rock. Holds tight. Seen a video of a guy making it to glue stone arrowheads on hand fletched arrow shafts. The bunny shit is the binder that hold it together as it’s basically pulverized wood fibre and the charcoal is the fixer that cures the sap so it dries hard and not sticky. Cool old tech
Lost in the woods? No cellular signal? No civilization nearby? No problem. Step1: find some birch barks Step2: extract the oil Step3: US come to the rescue
They are so dumb that they didn't invent more stuff. I don't burn trees for the tar and i stay plenty warm and have lots of access to fire. And I'm just a regular guy.
Bill Gates is actively clear cutting huge swaths of the USA claiming it's to help reduce global warming since trees store carbon dioxide. They are just trying to destroy nature so we cannot survive on our own.
Soak some dried leaves and fresh green ones in the pitch wrap in a bundle and put a stick through middle . Light and now have a good torch and bug repleant . Burns slow as well
@@ss67camaronut No, it was a birch. I was not talking about the product at all, but it has many uses and commonly called birch pitch, birch tar, and birch oil. The oil extracted from birch bark, often referred to as birch essential oil, can be used as a bug repellent, astringent, and antiseptic. Quit trying to sound smart. You end up sounding like a birch yourself 🤣

Wow. But humorous nonetheless. Hope your cramps subside . Hate to see a gal in pain.
It's not actually oil. It's actually a form of pitch specifically called Birch-Tar. Fun fact, we actually have archeological evidence of the processing of Birch-Tar using that same method going back 200,000 years, specifically for use in making stone tools. This makes it one of the oldest known processed or synthetic substances made by human kind. Crazy, right?
Nope, it's correct. Tar has been found in archeological Neanderthal sites, e.g. as glue on tools, dating it's production and use back up to 200,000 years.
@@kinglionex4888 No, it wouldn't make sense, we barely know fk all about the past dating that far back. How are we supposed to start the calendar at the earliest known civilization when we keep discovering even older ones? Today the year will be 22023 and then tomorrow when we find a new undiscovered ancient civilization the year will be 202023 and so on and so forth and everyone in the entire world will have to both update their calendar and get used to using the new system too. What arbitrary date do you want to start the calendar at exactly, the moment the first caveman discovered fire? What if we discover proof of that happening 300 years earlier than we last expected, is everyone just supposed to modify their calendars again?? We have to start the calendar at some arbitrary date and something that we all universally agree on and keep consistent otherwise it'll be just as dumb as having two different measurement units like the metric and imperial systems. Do you just want every country to use their own unique calendar or how about not even basing their days off of the same 24 hour period or they can make their years something arbitrary like 289 days instead of 365? We already go off of BC and AD and if you don't understand the relevance of those dates then you should look it up but there's no point in changing it every time we make a new discovery about ancient humans and somehow expect 8 billion people to also update their understanding of the calendar each time...
Have you tried it? I was looking for this comment. I have many white birch trees and I’m cutting them down, as most are diseased. And am wondering how well it works…. I suppose I could easily make a gallon with the right setup.
@GMC-qo9xi I've tryied it, normally you don't use it on your skin cause, sometimes just having it around is enough. But yes you can apply it on your skin, just be careful to not cover any wounds on it, cause if you do, it will burn a lot 😅
Also known as birch tar. Essentially the same thing as pine tar with terpenes, long hydrocarbons and sugars. Smells really nice and is great for waterproofing stuff and protecting from corrosion.
@joeydurant6267 birch tar was used as chewing gum thousands of years ago and is still used as flavouring in sweets and alcohol in for example Finland, so... Maybe? I wouldn't, as pure tar is probably not great to ingest, as it'srarely a very pure product. Most tar flavouring is done with extremely diluted tar made in controlled environments. Making your own tar like this and ingesting it will probably give you the holy heathens of runs, in the best case.
It’s tar and the process is called dry distillation. Organic material breaks down without oxygen by heat. You can do with any kind of wood. The results of dry distillation is flammable gases, tar and charcoal
No this process is called pyrolysis, which happens when you heat something to chemically change it. Distillation is when you take the vapor and condense it to a liquid or capture the gases, a flash distillation. I was a research chemist for a large petrochemical company in the late 60s and was assigned to a project where my task was to heat a multitude of common chemically organic substances with methane to determine the reaction products. The methane did not react but there was a common pathway for almost everything to be pyrolized into things that resulted in monocyclic, bicyclic and multicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, almost all of which have been proven to be carcinogens. These start with substituted benzene, then napthalenes, and anthracenes. They were first identifies in coal tar, which was made from heating coal to coke and separating the resulting tar. If he had run the analyses I did he would never put that pitch on his hand. I guarantee. We did not test birchbark because it does not grow within a hundred miles of the middle Texas Coast .
This method was going to be used on the shale deposits near the Four Corners region and the equipment is called retorting. Billions of barrels of shale oil were to be had for fuel and chemicals until Bill Clinton turned it into National Monument so his political donors could make billions on their oil companies. His V.P. Al Gore was born into a family rich from stock in Occidental Petroleum Company, an inconvenient truth, which the lame stream media would never tell you.
@@larrytischler570brilliant and fascinating. Next question, how do I test the air and soil on my property to determine if we have a brownfield situation since the EPA saysbthey cant do anything unless I have evidence and environmental remediation companies cost a fortune. And then only will the EPA (or EPD) do anything.
@@coppulor6500idk, i am just a hobby chemist for now. Do plants grow there and would you know of any previous companies activity ? It's hard to tell from just reading a comment and i am not sure of much. Is there any lab near you ? I worked in a water lab (just for a little while as a introduction to jobs (practice done in Germany).
if you guys wanna know the genuine process here, this is pyrolysis, a technique used to turn certain high yield biomatter into usable burnables, those gases coming off the top is mostly dihydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) which if collected can ever power diesel motors. that oil you have at the end is a mixture of unfiltered bio-oil (the liquid combination of the above chemicals) and a bunch of other, heavier burnable elements with probably some water mixed in. it doesnt last long without breaking down but it’s an excellent source of heat, etc. neat little mini-woodgas engine
Yeah...that gas burning out of the top is syngas, aka woodgas. What you've essentially created is a basic biomass gasifier. You can run that woodgas into a generator and run the generator on it, creating electricity. Also, the char you'll have left over after creating your oil is an excellent soul additive (biochar). You should also be able to "crack" the oil you've created to make gasoline. 😊

You can improve your yield if you put water in the bottom can. It will boil off become superheated in the middle can, and further break down the wood into additional oils. What you're essentially doing without the water is making charcoal and collecting the tar. By adding the water, you're harvesting the hydrogen from the water and adding it to the carbon from the wood to make additional oil. The water also will help trap the oil in the bottom can and keep it from burning off the light weights.
Thank you captain
What...if I use cum or puss instead of water?
Yeah that makes sense considering they call oil hydrocarbons... hydro meaning the water im assuming 💧🪵🔥=🛢🪔
@@dustin628man, guy just explained the whole process beautifully and you completely dumpstered it when it came to understanding it.
Hydrocarbons are composed of hydrogen and carbon. Not water. The reason you add water is it's a source of Hydrogen. He explained that pretty clearly.

For anyone interested, look into wood gasification and syngas refinement.
What is that oil good for?
Summarize
You can make diesel from wood or even straw and lawn waste. Not biodiesel, straight-up diesel. You can also make char while you do it as a 1/1 carbon offset that you can bury to sequester carbon while improving poor soils.
@@laurelgardner Completely correct! Through careful filtration of tar, collection of different weights of gasses through the temperature range, and the introduction of catalysts (thermal cracking) the direct heavy oil can be converted into diesel, gasoline, propane, butane and the sort (in varying quantities) due to the chosen process. Wood gasification is a very useful and usually overlooked process of creating fuel.
Coal gasification occurs here
Good for a slow burning torch. Can seal up wounds too but if you’re gonna do all that just use pine. Pine sap is naturally anti-bacterial and sticky as hell, perfect for glueing cuts closed.
A 1/3 of each Pine sap, charcoal and bunny shit. Mix and heat til bubbles then cool and use to glue of repair. Drys hard as rock. Holds tight. Seen a video of a guy making it to glue stone arrowheads on hand fletched arrow shafts. The bunny shit is the binder that hold it together as it’s basically pulverized wood fibre and the charcoal is the fixer that cures the sap so it dries hard and not sticky. Cool old tech

Soak some dried leaves and fresh green ones in the pitch wrap in a bundle and put a stick through middle . Light and now have a good torch and bug repleant . Burns slow as well
dried pine is a much better natural fuel for torch.
My experience is that dried leaves crumble into about a ten thousand pieces, so not really sure how this would work??
Son of a birch. You learn something new everyday 😊

Except that it's pitch , more like tar than oil. But learning the wrong thing is still learning, just kinda doubles the workload to true learning.
@@ss67camaronut No, it was a birch. I was not talking about the product at all, but it has many uses and commonly called birch pitch, birch tar, and birch oil. The oil extracted from birch bark, often referred to as birch essential oil, can be used as a bug repellent, astringent, and antiseptic. Quit trying to sound smart. You end up sounding like a birch yourself 🤣

The USA: 👀 take notes TAKE NOTES!
“What’s that noise” “sounds like patriotism”
It's not actually oil. It's actually a form of pitch specifically called Birch-Tar. Fun fact, we actually have archeological evidence of the processing of Birch-Tar using that same method going back 200,000 years, specifically for use in making stone tools. This makes it one of the oldest known processed or synthetic substances made by human kind. Crazy, right?
I was gonna say the same thing that's acutely tar not oil, and yeah that is an interestingly crazy fact never knew that it was that ancient.
I’m not sure you’re correct.@@kinglionex4888
@@FructoseFrank because that would make too much sense.
Nope, it's correct. Tar has been found in archeological Neanderthal sites, e.g. as glue on tools, dating it's production and use back up to 200,000 years.
@@kinglionex4888 No, it wouldn't make sense, we barely know fk all about the past dating that far back. How are we supposed to start the calendar at the earliest known civilization when we keep discovering even older ones? Today the year will be 22023 and then tomorrow when we find a new undiscovered ancient civilization the year will be 202023 and so on and so forth and everyone in the entire world will have to both update their calendar and get used to using the new system too. What arbitrary date do you want to start the calendar at exactly, the moment the first caveman discovered fire?
What if we discover proof of that happening 300 years earlier than we last expected, is everyone just supposed to modify their calendars again?? We have to start the calendar at some arbitrary date and something that we all universally agree on and keep consistent otherwise it'll be just as dumb as having two different measurement units like the metric and imperial systems. Do you just want every country to use their own unique calendar or how about not even basing their days off of the same 24 hour period or they can make their years something arbitrary like 289 days instead of 365? We already go off of BC and AD and if you don't understand the relevance of those dates then you should look it up but there's no point in changing it every time we make a new discovery about ancient humans and somehow expect 8 billion people to also update their understanding of the calendar each time...

Have you tried it? I was looking for this comment. I have many white birch trees and I’m cutting them down, as most are diseased. And am wondering how well it works…. I suppose I could easily make a gallon with the right setup.
@GMC-qo9xi I've tryied it, normally you don't use it on your skin cause, sometimes just having it around is enough. But yes you can apply it on your skin, just be careful to not cover any wounds on it, cause if you do, it will burn a lot 😅
I find just a smoke bath is best,and it covers your entire body.
Citronella oil is the best bug dope.
Except for the cancer. It's highly carcinogenic
Also known as birch tar. Essentially the same thing as pine tar with terpenes, long hydrocarbons and sugars. Smells really nice and is great for waterproofing stuff and protecting from corrosion.
Wait... If you put Bud in there could you potentially make wax and oils this way?
@joeydurant6267 birch tar was used as chewing gum thousands of years ago and is still used as flavouring in sweets and alcohol in for example Finland, so... Maybe? I wouldn't, as pure tar is probably not great to ingest, as it'srarely a very pure product. Most tar flavouring is done with extremely diluted tar made in controlled environments. Making your own tar like this and ingesting it will probably give you the holy heathens of runs, in the best case.
Also pretty toxic and gives you cancer. That's why it isn't allowed for wood treatment in Europe anymore.

It’s tar and the process is called dry distillation. Organic material breaks down without oxygen by heat. You can do with any kind of wood. The results of dry distillation is flammable gases, tar and charcoal
No this process is called pyrolysis, which happens when you heat something to chemically change it.
Distillation is when you take the vapor and condense it to a liquid or capture the gases, a flash distillation.
I was a research chemist for a large petrochemical company in the late 60s and was assigned to a project where my task was to heat a multitude of common chemically organic substances with methane to determine the reaction products. The methane did not react but there was a common pathway for almost everything to be pyrolized into things that resulted in monocyclic, bicyclic and multicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, almost all of which have been proven to be carcinogens. These start with substituted benzene, then napthalenes, and anthracenes. They were first identifies in coal tar, which was made from heating coal to coke and separating the resulting tar. If he had run the analyses I did he would never put that pitch on his hand. I guarantee.
We did not test birchbark because it does not grow within a hundred miles of the middle Texas Coast .
This method was going to be used on the shale deposits near the Four Corners region and the equipment is called retorting. Billions of barrels of shale oil were to be had for fuel and chemicals until Bill Clinton turned it into National Monument so his political donors could make billions on their oil companies. His V.P. Al Gore was born into a family rich from stock in Occidental Petroleum Company, an inconvenient truth, which the lame stream media would never tell you.
@@larrytischler570brilliant and fascinating.

The US: Is that oil I smell
"You're the others, Turn green and jump"😂😂😂i really hope Samoel doesn't see this, he seems like a nice guy
if you guys wanna know the genuine process here, this is pyrolysis, a technique used to turn certain high yield biomatter into usable burnables, those gases coming off the top is mostly dihydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) which if collected can ever power diesel motors. that oil you have at the end is a mixture of unfiltered bio-oil (the liquid combination of the above chemicals) and a bunch of other, heavier burnable elements with probably some water mixed in. it doesnt last long without breaking down but it’s an excellent source of heat, etc. neat little mini-woodgas engine

*Aramco has left the chat*
Yeah...that gas burning out of the top is syngas, aka woodgas. What you've essentially created is a basic biomass gasifier. You can run that woodgas into a generator and run the generator on it, creating electricity. Also, the char you'll have left over after creating your oil is an excellent soul additive (biochar).
You should also be able to "crack" the oil you've created to make gasoline. 😊
Now that’s smart, excellent advice of an old forgotten method
