We're already burning plastic in a lot of places and use the energy to heat homes or get electricity. So this is nothing new. This just adds another step and of course since it's a product of fossil fuels it will increase the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere when burned. So this has no future, unless we capture and store the CO2 that's being released and that's only possible in large factories (see carbon capture and storage). It's quite expensive though. I get that people are excited because they've just learned about cracking, but it's really something chemists have been taught for decades now. It's nothing new. If it made sense we would have done it long ago.
This video is 6 years old and I'm hearing about this idea for the first time NOW. There's definitely something wrong with the industry. There is however the question of what does all this combusted diesel become?
There is nothing wrong. It is simply a VERY inefficient process of making fuel and very NON eco-friendly. First you have to put much more energy to distill that fuel, which of course will produce more CO2, then you can burn actual fuel, to double or triple the amount of CO2 produced. And as a result you get way less energy then you put while making the fuel. Using this energy directly to power home or something would be much more efficient and less polluting.
Face it. Plastic is an environmental catch-22. You can’t burn it or convert it into fuel as either way you’ll be giving off greenhouse gases and all that. However, you can’t just sling it into landfill as that’s bad for wildlife. Especially if it goes into the oceans, as we all know. You have to harm the environment to not harm the environment.
@@MrSupercar55 My hope is that we can breed a good microorganism; bacteria, nanobe, fungi or whatever, to eat up and break apart the plastic into decomposition. We need one native to the oceans.
The poor distillation apparatus and lack of temperature controls resulted a mix a waxes and diesel- which is why it was so discolored. Put a little more thought into the reflux apparatus and better temperature zone control and it would produce a higher quality product.
@@jasonmartin3497 Reflux is just heating/boiling in such a way that the eventual condensates drip back down into the boil, so they boil/condense over and over, resulting in a purer final product - but purity is at the expensive of a loss in yield. The most efficient method would be to develop an engine that runs on solid plastic (pellets), with mitigations for the fouling caused by contaminates. Much better to throw 20% of the energy away and pour whats left straight into your existing diesel engine though.
Yep. Considering that diesel and petrol can actually rot a little bit over time, perhaps "storing" the diesel as plastic could work? I think the problem is fractioning the distillate into the carbon numbers you want. Thats the part that seems tricky to me
nope first you can't vaporized 100% of the plastics seconds it take about a tons just to make a simple gallons thirds it this the most polluant procedure on earth fourth you can only do a single batch your wasted plastics would jamned in the oven and you will have to throw it in the garbage in order to just make a gallon! don't be dumb! i am a science guy! oh and i forgot to tells you that aftrr like 4 or 5 cook your brain will stop functionning and you will suffer dangerous diseased and probably died of demencia and brain bleeding! your lungs will be burned your liver and kidnees will stop working these guys even if they are far enough they will be poisoned its just a question of times!

From that you can't conclude though, that we aren't causing the current warming. In fact we can prove that we're causing the current warming (by burning fossil fuels and emitting CO2 mainly). Also that the earth has changed before does not tell us that it's not dangerous. The warming is happening much faster than it used to in the past and that's what makes it dangerous.

yes it would be better running on renewable's , but look at all the plastics we have already made that go to landfill. Starting using them rather than letting them rot over thousands of years.
April fool's day was not the right day to post this. It can be done. And why there is any plastic waste that goes to landfills just doesn't make sense.
There is another video that a guy uses this method to produce diesel and gasoline. He lives in a island that receives plastic washed off shore and uses wood to heat it up. He uses the diesel in a generator (he has solar panels too) and trades the gasoline for feed for his chickens. The feed is a waste from the island's coconut oil production. Even if this method is not energy efficient, it may be useful in isolated communities, allowing them to use some of the technology we have developed.
Usually biodiesels and highly-refined oils are actually cleaner burning than diesel/petrol from the gas station. They put a lot of additives in diesel/petrol to help with lubrication and cleaning of soot buildup, whereas biodiesels generally lack both and seemingly work fine without. Also thanks to emissions regulations, modern engines are required to pump some of their dirty exhaust gas back into the engine intake, ruining the engine over time. This however does cause lower combustion temperatures, and thus a decrease in carbon particulates, so (at first) the engine will have lower exhaust pollution, but higher CO2 production. Removing the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system on an engine and installing a high quality particulate filter (DPF) is a much better way to reduce residue in the engine.

fragwits that's true, it's still a good idea. There is an Australian engineer who is working on ways for steel companies to use plastic as a source of carbon for manufacturing steel. This would be a better use of waste plastic in. Y eyes as it is something we are already geared up for.
a small scale operation and this is very much inefficient, but a solar tower surrounded by plastic waste factories? would work like a charm, afterall, plastic is one of the waste products that is always an issue - you would have to get rid of the air pollution some other way though, don't want that solar tower getting clouds forming above it.
There are landfills all over the southwestern USA that would make ideal spots for such a thing. Separate out the plastic and leave it at the pyrolysis tower. Come back the next day and pick up your light sweet crude.
have you experimented with other plastics, such as old household appliances and children's toys? There are so many tons of this waste going directly into the landfill that it seems like a great potential source of energy
Well let me state this, there are 5 major types of plastics. You can tell what plastic your burning by the number on the bottom of the bottle surrounded by a triangle. Not sure if it would make a difference, but I would research them carefully. Not saying anything significant when I say this next statement because I honestly don't know but you never know what can cause cancer. Maybe one of the 5 major plastic releases a fume when burned that may cause cancer in the lungs. Research it beforehand. btw when I mean 5 different type of plastics, usually made from a core material however mixed with a bit of other materials to make it hard, flexible, see-through etc.
Plastics that contain BPA will cause cancer if excessive fumes are breathed in often. BPA is a part of lead and lead is a neurotoxin that causes neurological damage and birth defects. I think plastic without BPA will not release the cancer causing fumes. Someone research this, I am not positively sure on the answer.
The only drawback I could find is that while it might be an eco-friendly procedure without any emissions, it's not very energy efficient. Like I'm pretty sure that the amount of fuel it takes to heat up the plastic waste is not even close to the fuel produced. This drawback alone makes it a little impractical. For now it just seems like an expensive method to dispose off plastic waste. Had they used thermal energy to heat that waste this would have made so much sense.
Fuel is always energy inefficient. Even gasoline from crude takes distillation. The point is that it is usable in a car. Then second is the efficiency.
Big corporations can't make money from it so its a bad idea. We might have to make our own fuel if things keep going like they have for the past two months.
Hi I am planning to build a pyrolysis furnace in the future so what materials I will need to build one? Here are the materials I think I'll need but I could be wrong. How is the gas converted to oil? Can you use a chillar machine and put condensing coils in a box to collect the oil? I will be using hydrogen to heat the bio mass up. Here are the materials I think I'll need but not sure. 1 Cart. To move the unit around 2 Thick stainless steel barrel 3 A couple of hoses 4 Burner. Be under the barrel as a heat source 5 a Handle to pull the car 6 A condensing box. where the product will be collect. 7 Something to hold the barrel up. 8 Filter. To collect unwated stuff from the oil. 9 A couple of bolts. To hold things in place. I think that is all I need to build a working one.
IT would be nice to have more information. Exact amount of plastic and number type put into container. Exact amount of heat being produced and with what build and what components and at what cost. Exact distillation per liter of fluid extracted and into what components. Cost of diesel at the time of extraction and total cost of energy to make it.. You know the math stuff that tends to blow good ideas out of the water and make them useless. And yes i know im 3 years to late.
>>------------------> Everyone seems to be forgetting the energy cost he used to produce that small cup of diesel. All that oven heat was more energy used than what was dirivied from the end result. For prepping, I can see this as use to get fuel, but for everyday use, it would require a ton of energy.
I think I can tell just by watching. Inside his oven is a combination of three or four oven heater elements that is why he had so many plugs. Then he used that white looking thing around his oven for thermal insulation. Thermal insulation so that the heat does not get lost out in the environment and is contained, I think it is ceramic.

Why not scale it up and convert old supertankers into plastic trawlers . The plastic scooped out of the ocean could convert to run the ship's engines and the large surface area of the tanker could have solar PV panels , offsetting the energy used to crack the plastic. These vessels could be home to communities . They could provide accommodation for scientific research etc . Let's face it energy and the planets climate crisis has gone beyond economics! 🙄
look how dirty that diesel is that they made. I have experience with diesel engines, and I can tell you that will clog up a diesel so fast. Injectors, Pumps, Combustion chambers....
Far from the world-saving solution many people believe this to be, however, it may find some niche applications, where you have excess of heat energy, while also having tons of plastic waste, but are desperate for some liquid fuel.
Three or four years ago Australia's ABC news reported on two Australian scientists who had created a system for breaking all plastics back down into raw hydrocarbons (it involved high pressure water) . . . so where is that great invention today? One such plant was apparently built in the UK, not even in Australia. Great ideas get crushed or bought up by rich opposing forces. Still, what is in this video is something we can all do, just about.
@@rustysworldofentertainment850 One of the nordic countries had a small plant producing crude oil from mixed plastics. And I think they needed money to build a proper sized plant. A thing they did not address, which I believe to be the big issue, is dealing with all the chemical byproducts(after heating), like plasticizers, elastomers, etc, and their toxicity and how to properly take care of them.
@@lightdark00 Yeah, look I was only going off the slim details of the Australian news story, no downsides were mentioned. Maybe they'd had similar drawbacks not reported on. Still, I would think that creating the necessary scrubbers and filters and other antipollution processes would be a natural step in scaling this up. Let's hope somebody is working on it, and they have business support.
any fuel source can provide the energy to heat it, including solar and nuclear, if done right. But burning it later still leaves us with the fossil fuel problem. It does, though, give us the option to recycle plastics and not leave them in landfills and oceans. My guess is that the petroleum industry squashes this because it digs into their profits.
I think in large scales this makes sense, but needing a vacuum chamber AND needing high temperatures AND the fuel is probably not very pure, I think it would be smart to wait before we burn all our garbage
We need ships that run on this. They can go and refuel in the great pacific plastic patch!
Fuckin A
Enough plastic there to keep ships running for decades
Somebody tell this to Manoj Bhargav !
1 Ton of Mixed Plastics = 200 - 260 gallons of reduced sulfur diesel
The pacific garbage patch is not an island of plastic, it is a large area of dispersed plastic brought together by current.
Fuels typically go bad over time. This is interesting because it is like energy can be stored as a plastic & made new again.
yes ...

@@computerlearingchannel4257 Plastic would take thousands of years to break down naturally. You could make a currency maybe.

``Dont do this to home``-In Fact is a mix of Naphta ,kerosen ,diesel,wax and bitum.After while the bitum will precipited and will destroy the engine.I allready made this
+cristian pommersheim
Can you tell me the name of chemicals used in this operation ( early stage) ??
cristian pommersheim you can separate them out with fractional distillation
Is this cost effective?
Do you think that would work in a 2 cycle engine like a chain saw?
You steel need an oil mixture
At the beginning, what is that these 2 bottles. What do they do?
Is that temperature in F or C
Im really considering trying this, all the talk of everyone having to go electric on cars has me thinking how to keep me diesel truck rolling
Where can I meet the chemist who can make the fuel right
Man, can you teach me how to make that machine
A South African inventor patented a contraption that turns excrement, paper, rubber and plastics into fuel.
- April 2013 South African edition of Popular Mechanics.
Ok what did you 'separate' out??? And what did they do to do it???
how can i contact the maker of this video? I wish to build one myself but need a little more knowledge which I can't seem to find anywhere
Contact me i'll show you how
Just in time for evrything to go electric...
GREAT WORK!!!! from new started saving the oceans from plastic waste
Hi ,plastBusters! if you want to get diese from plastic waste ,Doing produced waste plastic to diesel plant can hep you ,you can visit the runnbing viseo: ua-cam.com/video/6xmpZmbLgkU/v-deo.html,for more information ,pls visit :http"//www.wastetireoil.com
I want to try this could any help me out please?
No how did they separate the fuel,distilled, or chemically??
What were the final ingredients that turn the distillate into diesel?
Why not scale it up and convert old supertankers into plastic trawlers . The plastic scooped out of the ocean could convert to run the ship's engines and the large surface area of the tanker could have solar PV panels , offsetting the energy used to crack the plastic. These vessels could be home to communities . They could provide accommodation for scientific research etc . Let's face it energy and the planets climate crisis has gone beyond economics! 🙄
All very impressive…. But what is the exhaust gas expelled from the engine? More carbon for the atmosphere?
Genuinely would like to know
Co2 and water, like burning any hydrocarbon.
look how dirty that diesel is that they made. I have experience with diesel engines, and I can tell you that will clog up a diesel so fast. Injectors, Pumps, Combustion chambers....
True although I think it can be filtered.
That's hard to do
@@Taydrum No its not. 1 mikron filters will do that, easy.
@@gytax01 1 micron filters get plugged up so fast, let alone 10 micron filters
@@Taydrum Great, that means its working.
so what did you friend the chemistry?
No mention of song use in description, how do you get away with it?
The oil produced is directly used as diesel or we have to do any chemical distillation process
Far from the world-saving solution many people believe this to be, however, it may find some niche applications, where you have excess of heat energy, while also having tons of plastic waste, but are desperate for some liquid fuel.
This is seven years old... Where are the plastic to fuel plants hiding?
Three or four years ago Australia's ABC news reported on two Australian scientists who had created a system for breaking all plastics back down into raw hydrocarbons (it involved high pressure water) . . . so where is that great invention today? One such plant was apparently built in the UK, not even in Australia. Great ideas get crushed or bought up by rich opposing forces. Still, what is in this video is something we can all do, just about.
@@rustysworldofentertainment850 One of the nordic countries had a small plant producing crude oil from mixed plastics. And I think they needed money to build a proper sized plant. A thing they did not address, which I believe to be the big issue, is dealing with all the chemical byproducts(after heating), like plasticizers, elastomers, etc, and their toxicity and how to properly take care of them.
@@lightdark00 Yeah, look I was only going off the slim details of the Australian news story, no downsides were mentioned. Maybe they'd had similar drawbacks not reported on. Still, I would think that creating the necessary scrubbers and filters and other antipollution processes would be a natural step in scaling this up. Let's hope somebody is working on it, and they have business support.
Too bad this is just clickbait, he doesn't actually give much details
Why didn't you put straight away into the tank, can use use plastic petrol for my car?
Why is the fuel more volatile then regular one and how is it possible to make it normal
what about the catalyst ???
any fuel source can provide the energy to heat it, including solar and nuclear, if done right. But burning it later still leaves us with the fossil fuel problem. It does, though, give us the option to recycle plastics and not leave them in landfills and oceans. My guess is that the petroleum industry squashes this because it digs into their profits.
How did you remove waxes nd parafine. It is what can interest viewers.
Its the only question i aslo have
then why people never uses this or implement?
Because big oil corps don't want to lose their pennies.
If you do the same thing at 140 F will you get methanol?
hey! did you put that plastic fuel in a tank or direct the way you demonstrated?
No safety glasses?
How toxic is the sludge left in the cooking pot?
The government doesnt wanna see this
What is the background music? Pls help me! Need to know.

What's the octane you'd get from this for gas
Diesel is not flammable though?
I think in large scales this makes sense, but needing a vacuum chamber AND needing high temperatures AND the fuel is probably not very pure, I think it would be smart to wait before we burn all our garbage
You don't need a vaccum chamber only an air tight vessel
Wish he showed how to purify the first beaker of diesel
After the fuel formation what are the byproduct form and where they use???plz answer mi fast
WHY ISN'T EVERY CITY IN THE WORLD DOING THIS?!?
Can you describe the process? What does the collector? Do you have to explain in detail? Is going through the gas pipe?
Is there subtitles?
Ali Büyükadalı basically, the copper tube is here to condense the flammable gases produced by heating plastic in liquid "diesel".
manaquri Well, where it connects copper pipes in the process? Is there an empty tube? Can you write in more detail?
So yes it is possible but.. right now it stil will be cheaper to pump it out of the ground. Or use "bio diesel"
If you have to put in more hydrocarbon energy than you get out then it's not much use
I have a question ...do you add water plz
I love Jem Stanfield
do u have the testing report?
What is that song and why do I know it?
This proves creation.
Hi , what are thé two products that you have blended to form plastic at the beginning
