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.
i am far removed from chemistry to know how it works, but what you have created is admirable. i hope you get some real funding to explore this technology to the max.
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
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!

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?
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.
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.
The gasses emitted by pyrolysis can be ran through a cat cell to produce carbon and/or water vapor. Which you can reuse for other purposes. You can also use a scrubber system or afterburner. It’ll reduce the overall emissions of your device significantly. You can refine the liquid oil as diesel, and use it for a generator. The solid char you’re left with is great for soil, filters, low grade fuel/additive, and for composite plastics.
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 🇰🇪
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?
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!
@@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
You’re a genuine scientist man. This is what our society is built off of. Innovation and crazy backyard RUclips videos❤ please patent this I want to see you succeed
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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
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
If you have seen one of the latest videos on the why files page you’d see the one about people who have made inventions like this in the past then mysteriously end up dying soon after. So be careful is all I can say
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
The only thing missing is rotation, when you get to the industrial build and all the investors and fancy pants people wanna have input just ask for rotation, with everything you have already somehow adding a layer inside on a spindle that rotates what your cooking inside should save you time energy and maximize your yield, I know it’s hard to see know but goo that bad boy onto an industrial spindle and tweak the rpm and bam you making juice all day 👾
Love the added insulation. Glad to see that made a big difference. I am going to make my own prototype soon. Thank you for the inspiration
Did you see how many parts that thing has? He easily has over 10 grand in that thing, shredders, magnetrons, and welders are expensive!
Easily a lie.
More that just means moar microwave owens to sacrifise caution if u dont know What ur doing u will die.

You can once store the syngas and start the plant the next day it can run until the other gas is ready to heat the reactor
Am from Kenya also
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?
Burning the carbon alone let alone any coke formed would likely produce enough energy to power the unit
What are the yields you expect to get per lb of input materials?
