Bro, you seem like a total genius. But damn do I hope you don't disappear one day out of nowhere. I'm not a conspiracy buff, but if some stories are true, people with massive world changing discoveries just disappear or even get unalived. Stay on your toes man! This could change the world one day, if not already! Rooting for u!
He's a moron. What he's making is largely benzene. It's highly carcinogenic and there's not really an efficient method of removing all of that benzene on this small of a scale.
This is ingenious. A plastics plant I used to work for as a process technician WASTED TONS of ground plastics monthly snd took it staright to dumps because we could not reprocess it for parts. Every plastics plant in America operstes this way and writes off this waste as a loss. Polycarbonate, polypropylene, nylon, polubeutyline, all this regrind was waste. There are several plastics plants in Evansville Indiana alone that produce tons of regrind as plastic waste. We were always told as technicians that there was nothing to do with the tons and tons of plastic regrind. (Company name here) Produced at least 3-6 TONS of ground plastic waste per day (in three 8 hour shifts). And this regrind was either bought for pennies on the dollar or taken to landfills.
I had the same decentralized energy idea except with the oil well gas flares. Instead of burning it off we could turn that energy into electricity to run a mesh network node or tie back into the grid with the energy making it more resilient!
@@Frames_debates exactly. Perfect implementation for the coming demand of EV's. I did the math and I could be wrong but in 1 year of energy generated from flares world wide could be converted into electricity to run the world for 100 years. It's almost stupid
Are you able to reach out to a metal fabricator to get the tolerances tighter on the large rotating coil? I feel like it could be more efficient with that upgrade alone.
Have you ever sent the oil produced by the reactor to a lab to see what it is composed of? Its probably a mix of crude hydrocarbons, but it'd be interesting to see what else you're getting.
He could do a fractional distillation and find out for himself. Ive never seen this channel before but he is obviously capable of doing it. Could be a cool series of videos
I hope he does this, I’ve been curious about this since I first saw his channel. Those who used the fuel say it smells like plastic, but not like burning plastic. It’s weird
It's expensive he's only 18 and has received a very small grant given what his goals are of 200k he needs to network and find school and universities to help him with his projwct

@@fmfischer1652 no, i dont understand any of the science in the video, yet i have faith that what he says is legit. So to cover the base incase im wrong, i state that i’m dumb
I've spent most of my professional career as a chemical engineer researching alternative fuels and plastic pyrolysis. Would love to talk and see if there's anything I can do to help. You're doing awesome work!
I could see countries with massive plastic waste disposal issues and need for crude oil could make great use of this! It would give them a monetary incentive for them or even private individuals to clean up rivers. (Just as I type it I see an article about a Thailand plastic waste crisis!) Have you ever thought to reach out to foreign entrepreneurs? I really hope someone helps you sink money into scaling up and refining the process further.
He didn't invent this process... The reason no one does it is because it's very inefficient. You put in a ton of energy and get very little out. Also it doesn't work with every type of plastic. And sorting out the right types of plastic is actually really difficult.
@@johnhonda93 I could see a couple situations where it would make sense. Industrial processes with huge amounts of waste heat, and green energy set ups that don't have a storage system. There's lots of waste energy/heat that could be used to do something like this just not really a will or a real path to profit.
@@W1ldSm1le if you have waste heat it almost always makes more sense to just generate electricity with it and then use the electricity. There is maybe a few small places where this would make sense. But it's certainly not going to be some sort of recycling revolution.
Julian, I love your work. I have been playing around with Pyrolysis for about 10 years now, but unfortunately, I haven't had the time or money to take it to the level you have. I have envisioned something like your Mark 4.5 for years but never got around to it. Bravo. It would nice to discuss a number of things with you, but I'm afraid typing here would be too much. For now, may I just ask if you could provide a link to where you got your shredder?
So I gotta ask - with all the carbon being added, along with the energy required to run it, will the fuel generated from the plastic be enough to cover the cost of the energy+carbon?
@@naturejab if you don't mind I would like to make a suggestion, regarding the capturing of the toxic fumes, wich are produced from this process!!! along with potential ways, to address this issue!!! if you attach a carbon filter, to this diesel fuel generator exhaust!!! Essentially doing two things the carbon filters can be continuously reused, not only for capturing the plastic chemical compounds and fusing it with the carbon instead of being released in the air!!! The carbon filters then would be used as additional source of plastic to diesel material / fuel! Which would further contribute to this idea of a truly green sustainable non-toxic energy production
I'm planning on doing a pyrolysis plant that will be powered by incineration of municipal waste, the heat generated from the incinerator plus syngas will run the pyrosis and distillation plant. I'll then I'll use the resultant Diesel to run my diesel generators to produce power which will be used in my interlocking bricks making machines for affordable housing. Much love from Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪
You’re a genuine scientist man. This is what our society is built off of. Innovation and crazy backyard UA-cam videos❤ please patent this I want to see you succeed
Hey man, nice machine, i've seen videos of your old machine, and this is another level!!! Great work! Did you made the numbers on how much electrical energy does this machine take to break 1kg of of lets say LDPE or HDPE and how much energy you do produce with those broke byproducts... i mean, how much gas or oil you take from that kg? It would be interesting to see the progress in the economic aspects of it.
He needs to stop burning plastic and start working on how to remove all the carcinogens. He’s been polluting our backyards for years now, someone needs to call the EPA
Really cool setup you’ve got there. This project is really interesting, you just popped into a my feed and instantly subscribed. A future set up idea for your project if you’re ever interested, try adding a solar panel and battery setup. Essentially this whole system and setup will be able to run off grid or just independently. Use the power of solar, get your oil and natural gas, essentially you’ll be producing 3 different types of energies. Having all 3 energies, gas, oil, and electric, you’ll be set for any project. And since it uses plastic, just doing a quick community service around the city you can collect and recycle that plastic and just have your own supply of energy. I truly see many great things coming your way and can’t wait to see the future projects!
Just a rough guesstimation, but I'd say he's getting about $0 worth of useful fuel for thousands of dollars worth of investment. Even if it were refined, costing thousands more in investment, the yield would be measured in the single digit perecents of energy consumed. Meaning, ignoring the cost of the pyrolysis and refinement machines, for every $100 worth of energy put in, you'd get about $6 worth out. Even that is likely very generous. There's a reason companies don't do this.
The tech is simple. The energy conversion is the tricky part. He a this point is drawing over 50 amps to run his equipment. That a lot of energy for that little fuel he is producing. As he develops the process is where he should improve the efficiency.
This man needs to make a barge that collects floating plastic waste on the surface of the water that has this setup installed so the barge literally converts the plastic that it collects on shore into fuel for itself
He's got like 8 microwaves turned on and running. He's spending $1.00 in electricity to produce $0.05 in fuel, fuel he has to still further process. I would bet money the waves from the magnetrons are canceling eachother out in many places too. Be far more efficient to just collect the plastic from the ocean sadly. Plastic will never be future fuel. We just need a way to dispose of it correctly, like an enzyme that can process millions of lbs at once.
I went and checked his first video then did research. I do not know if he really is doing this but I will say the first research paper I found was by Boston dynamics and it was released 21 days after his first post. The only thing that confuses me is how it becomes a liquid in a microwave setting plastic will heat, melt, and lose viscosity rather quickly. Mabye he’s adding a chemical, or some how keeping it under high pressure keeps it in a liquid state. Either this video got my brain buzzing so well deserved like.
based on what I just watched, it is 1. Grinding the plastics 2. Add catalyst, the powder carbon 3. Prepare the tank by vacuuming the oxygen, feed the plastics. 4. Feed the inert gases and start microwaving. 5. Make the solid into gases and make em condense into a liquid. By product I guess. The only by product I can see here are the powder charcoals from previous reactions. Now we need to identify the ratio for say a Liter of refined oil
Replying to my own comment, the next thing for a Gas Byproduct is to connect it to a combustion engine couple with alternator and generate power to energize the reactior
There is no catalyst. This is just pyrolysis. It will never be cost effective, essentially wasting energy. There's a reason we don't do this. If it costs $100 to make back $60 in energy, you're better off just keeping the $100.
This is how all of the greatest scientists started their revolutionary careers. Get some university backing on this my dude if you’re not already doing this for a doctorate.
The question is how much power does it us to make fuel. If the input is less than the output it will never be profitable unless he uses renewable power.
Dude how do I contact you. I know people and money!!! I want to develop this technology. I’ll give it another year…. I keep trying to reach out so to not monetize your invention but people need this for plastic more than Iinventors need their credit

Im shocked that this isnt being done at scale 🤔 plastic is made from petroleum after all... im happy to see this.. have you considered taking investments?
He doesn't burn coal he turns plastic into fuel using magnetrons from microwaves which heat from an electric source is able to break down the plastic into oil gasoline and natural gas its quite simple
@@MichaelGUZMAN-qs8ovSimple, yes. Viable, no. The amount of energy he's using to turn this waste plastic into crude is orders of magnitude larger than the energy you can get from combusting the product. This doesn't even get into fractional distillation, reforming and cracking that would be required to actually process the crude into usable products, like diesel or gasoline, which would require yet more energy. The key to solving the viability problem is with catalysts, which can greatly reduce the energy cost required to turn plastics into crude. He has none, just brute force pyrolysis. Companies keep their catalyst recipes secret, but we have yet to find any that would allow for viable conversion to fuels. That is where research into this should b focused. Not on pyrolysis contraptions that will never be viable.
