- Video #6 in our series of the process of building a 24m traditional sailing dhow from plastic waste in Lamu, Kenya: TESTING THE PROCESS TO SOLAR COOK PLASTIC INTO BOAT PARTS
In this video we show you the tests we made with our plastic extrusion machine and (home-made) solar unit to transform plastic waste into big boat parts.

To achieve higher molten heat is either you reduce the size of receiver container or increase the surface area of the reflector. Kudos to you guys
UA-cam recommended this. Thank you for being mindful of the microplastics.
Congratulations on your innovations thus far.

This is so exciting to follow! Thnx for your efforts of making and sharing your vids!
Absolutely fascinating, keep them coming!
Bravo!
Super interesting.
Im working also on melting big amount of plastic together and your progress help me alot !
Thx
Happy to hear! :)
Is there a place to follow your project, too?
Nice tech!
What if you introduce large fresnel lenses like those found in old rear projection TVs as a means of intensifying the sun's heat. I have seen videos of using these to burn holes in cinderblocks and melt coins.
Maybe also look into fiberglass to cover the sides not facing the sun.

Nice! Where did you get the parabolic solar trough?
We built it ourselves :)
what was the machine called you used with melt mold to interset plastic
Hey! sorry for late reply - I guess you mean the Extruder?
You might produce a tubular beam with thick walls. Most of the strength of the beam is in the outer couple inches. An internal tube that hot or cold air blowing through it would speed production time.
There were some guys that heated rotary molds using several sun-tracking mirrors. I believe the mirrors were 1/8" inch aluminum aluminumized acrylic mounted on an airtight sealed box. They would pull a small vacuum to create a concave parabolic mirror to concentrate the sunlight. By adjusting the negative pressure you can adjust the focal length of the mirror.
