The stuff could work well in an old diesel engine with mechanical injection since the stuff is also called pyrolysis oil and most old diesel engines run on many different types of oil
A WW2 engine would probably run on that because most of them are designed to run on 2* fuel which means it is kinda that fuel, some of them also run on diesel and gas

I worked for a biofuel company that did this. Best advice I can give is to avoid the costly act of redistilling - instead consider adding different 'ingredients' with the tyres in the pyrolysis chamber, or consider blending it with other fuels. Those routes gave us the best success economically.
Hi excuse me, but avoid redistilling for what?, the raw product has too much sediment and carbon itself for a gasoline engine, i consider distilling is necessarily to concentrate the octane and purity and flammability of final product, and remove greases (sorry if I'm wrong, with the maximum respect)
@@crypto602 That's the point of altering the composition of what goes in - you change what comes out. You can modify the recipe to produce a much more desirable product - ours went straight into a diesel generator in the same form it came out the pyrolysis chamber, and it ran fine.
@@rovhalgrencparselstedt8343 could distill it a couple more times for a more refined fuel, mixing in a bottle of octane booster probably wouldn't hurt tho lol.
I have done this before. Running the output pipe back through the fire as a super heater properly " cracks" the output into it's base components and yields a much cleaner and pure output. From there you run it into the water cooling jacket which can then be taken off into different fractions like Petrol and diesel . I just left the output as one and used it for blending with veg oil which made a great diesel fuel. You can Crack old engine oil like this to purify it and get a much lighter product more like Diesel and some petrol like fractions. Plastic can also be done the same way and a fuel yielded from that as all these things come from oil anyway.
It seems to be somewhere between diesel and petrol judging by how quickly it ignited and the smoke. Would probably be great in an old lister diesel generator or old car with a mechanical diesel pump as long as the liquid has enough lubrication for the injector pump.
I guess they could use different distillation stages to get the different weight of fuels, also adding a bit of 2 stroke oil for the injector pump would help Edit: they did use different stages I didn't see the video before commenting
You are spot on. it is exactly a petrol diesel blend although the first take off will be more like diesel and the last will be more like petrol. I have done this and the fact it lights from a flame means it most likely has too high fractions to run straight in a diesel. I made this from plastic and oil and blended the output with veg oil. Ran great in my Cs-6/1 and other small diesels.
I remember some years ago, a guy from New York (I think) supposedly came up with a way to turn tires into a usable diesel fuel by microwaving it then distilling it into diesel. It was supposed to have be efficient enough to be viable commercially. The last anyone heard of him is was building a scaled up version to test and he went silent .
This is high-sulfur diesel fuel. And it STINKS. I've done this with much smaller quantities (i.e. bicycle tire) and you can't even sniff it without painfully burning your nostrils. Tire rubber is full of sulfur, and I'm suspecting this will be the hardest part to deal with in refining.
Not at all like Diesel like so many comments state. Diesel is an oil and with not light with an open flame. This is essentially a super low octane gas. Probably close to 30-40 octane. Octane if you don't know is resistant to detonation. So the higher the octane, the less likely the fuel will pre-ignite under compression in the engine. This stuff is so low of octane it'll ignite immediately. So to run it in a motor you would have to set the timing after top dead center and likely it would need to be adjusted once the engine was hot. You could probably get away with running it by diluting it 25 maybe even 50% high octane fuel. Of course your engine would have to be probably an 8:1 to 9:1 compression ratio.
Try using plastic scrap instead of tires. Tires got fine carbon powder in loads inside them, and that is what is making all that black. Try cooking bottle-caps and take-out-meal-boxes instead!
@@thatguyalex2835Those bags are polyethylene. If you pyrolize that, it will depolymerize, and become, well, ethylene, which is a big component of natural gas, along with propene which is commonly used as polypropylene.
I've been reading about this for years,and have always wanted to try it. Plastic might be a better starting material,and apparently anything colored black (tires,or black plastic) will make the liquid dark. I'm curious to see what kind of results you'd get from a run of plastic.
Temperature is key for distilling. If you can hold the temperature of each capture tank at different levels, you will get different liquids from each one. To distill what you've got so far, you could use an alcohol still (dangerous, obviously). Run the still on a very low heat and very slowly increase the heat. What comes out should be captured in very small containers, maybe 0.5L or less. The first containers will probably be the purest most volatile gasoline-type stuff. As it goes on, it will be heavier and heavier.
@@catsaregovernmentspiesIf anything we're not even close to burning up the dinos as fuel, it's really the prehistoric plant life that's been converted into gasoline, so there's still plenty of oil for many many many thousands of years
Love the idea only thing you was missing was a scrubber like wood chips and newspapers only reason the 3rd stages wasn't clearer should've been more like kerosene color. I can't wait to make one. The reason I got a diesel truck.
This is basically a homemade refinery. I want to see them refine the process again using the same liquid. That may produce closer to gasoline or propane. Some comments here mentioned kerosene, diesel or jet fuel which is spot on with the darker color
I seen a guy several yrs ago do the same thing with a electric kiln and some gas's in tanks. He didn't tell me what he used but the end result he had a fuel that would run in modern diesel engines, sad part is he scammed the local garbage company and other investors out of their money and left them hanging. So sad. Great vid!
Wow this incredible!! I watched the final result first an then came back to watch this video where it all started. Why hasn't any big manufacturers started doing this?? All the tires in the world this makes total sense!! Good job guys!!
Second distilling should fix the issue and more temperature control out to help in process. As of now they got all blends mixed where in distillery liquid is heated and collected based on gravity, lighter more flammable are collected on top of the tower where less flammable on lower. The cargo ships run on the low grade that is left after distilling gasoline, diesel and so on out from crude oil. Those are then further distilled to clean them from contaminants.
I've seen a similar version of pyrolysis done with plastic waste and the second stage liquid (they only had 2) was good enough to run an older gasoline generator with no apparent issues long term. Some of the first stage liquid was re run in the next batch and the rest was used to fuel the next batch. That setup used 2 old 35 lb propane tanks as the reactor, #1 takeoff was at the end of a 10+ foot steel pipe with some old cooling fins randomly placed. Then some copper coil In a garage can filled with well water (like a moonshiner) and the #2 collector at the bottom, and then back around to the reactor fire with hose and pipe to fuel it. Oddly no bubbler. Not sure about the environmental impact, but he was using strictly home waste and plastic picked up in the wild (cleaning up littered areas) so maybe not too bad.
Yes, brilliant guys! Please keep on with the experiments. I think the world needs more of this. Some more filtering and purification and my old NA diesel would surely drive on this without asking questions 😅
Respekt an den Mann der etwas gewagt hat, was die Ölindustrie definitiv nicht gewollt hätte. Das Video habe ich sofort runtergeladen, um den Leuten die eine Pferdebrille tragen es zu beweisen, das Erdöl nicht aus Millionen Jahre alte Mikroorganismen stammen sondern ein Mineral ist, das zweitmeiste Vorkommen nach Wasser auf dieser flachen Welt ist.
If you distilled down to gas/petrol viscosity regardless of the color, you end up with white gas/naphtha/ Coleman fuel are some common names for it. It is basically raw gasoline and has about 77 octane or even a little bit less. So you can use it in an old tractor or something similar or you have to advance the timing of the motor to get it to actually run right. The heavier viscosity fluids run fine in diesel motors.
If you pour gelatine solution into it, the oil floats on top and the gelatine takes all the particles down with it and sets, gelatine will clean old motor oil.
This system needs pressure and more initial heat so the gases react and have a chance to form chemical bonds and then a lot more cooling and more stages of separation, all those things are way harder to do at home with a basic system. Its amazing result thou with no pressure.
So you built a large Short Path distiller. I used these on a smaller scale in a cannabis extraction lab. Any questions on refining I'm having to be of service. Using a vacuum pump at the end to pull the gasses off. Also placing the pink collection flasks in ice cold water or even dry ice will get a better return. Cooling the connecting pipes to -10 to -20 °C will fraction the gasses more effectively.
Ever since the carbon tax here in Canada, that's what I use to heat my house mixed with wood instead of electric heat. I'll get my money's worth somehow
Awesome work guys! That's essentially a huge horizontal fraction column still, a simplified version of what they actually use to make petroleum products from crude oil. I'm definitely subbing, can't believe I only just found this channel... Damn algorithm
I wonder if there is a Russian chemistry channel that could help them with this project. It would be awesome to see if they could use it for cars and 2 strokes
run the fluid through a centrifugal filter/separator and see if the fuel will work with the particulates removed as it is in the first distillation condition.
You can get some potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide and water then mix it with the tire oil let it settle for maybe a week or so if you want to deodorize the tire oil you can do sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide and ethanol like golden grain
For best cooling the water should flow the opposite direction to the hot gases. You have it flowing the same direction. That will still work, but not as well.
There is a channel named Inventor Adventures and he's been doing this stuff for years and he has tried many materials also. From what i remember tires are among the best materials for pyrolysis fuel production.
Mr teslonian channel shows how to extract different types of fuel from filtering and cooling in different sections. It's the wood gasifier videos 👍❤️💛💚
this would be amazing for say a slant 6 that can take the abuse. Filter it first before you go hog wild and you are good to go. Now like you said this is perfect for fuel heaters and honestly the only real benefit from doing this is just getting rid of tires while also heating your house or shop.
If you can get some sepiolite clay and put it in something like an old hot water tank. You can drain this oil through it and it should come out pretty clean.
I really wish you would have given some description on what it felt like and smelled like. Was it oily like diesel, kerosene, or thin like regular gasoline? Did it smell like burnt rubber, or something else. I'd try pushing it through a fine filter, like one of those toilet paper filters for polishing engine oil to see if it is a brown liquid, or has fine particulates suspended in the liquid itself. VERY interesting video...
A couple suggestions. I'd love to see what would happen if you ran some #1 & #2 plastic through your makeshift refinery. HDPE (#2 plastic in the US) looks just like a really long diesel molecule so in theory one should be able to break the chains and end up with standard diesel fuel. Also once you refine this product down some more I'd try it in a small engine first. A lawnmower or weed trimmer has a lack of other stuff that could be fouled in an automobile.
That looks like a answer to getting rid of old tires. And I have a challenge for you guys, just saw a guy say that making a 7 cylinder engine is not worth the effort. I know you are up to that challenge.
The liquid would probably run better in a diesel compared to a gas powered engine since diesel run off compression rather than a spark to ignite the fuel but wonder what that be like in a diesel 🤔
It may be too volatile to properly run a diesel though... you can't light diesel on fire (in a cup) by holding a flame to it, but this stuff lit off easily.
Or otherwise, because this start to burn immediately compared to diesel. Also could be better to use on carburator engine, not that clean for injectors
Yeah, this setup produces almost only petrol and gas. They would need to keep the first condenser at 180 °C at least to harvest diesel otherwise it just gets cracked into gas and petrol due to reflux. Keeping reaction temperature under 550 °C also helps. @@volvo09
Should take your labled bottles and run them individually through a pump and filter process. Test each by rubbing between your fingers to see which was a heavier petroleum. Take the thinner more flammable fluid and test in a car checking the plugs for the correct burn which may require having actual gas added. Also test each to see what settles after a month of sitting still and if the mixture with gas separates.
worked at a tire recycling factory, the would retread old tires, shred the junk. three tires were the best tires, strong thick sidewalls. these were goodyear. michelin firestone middle of the road but also almost as good were bridgestone firestone, bf goodrich. crappy tires were yokohama, general, toyo any chinese tires westlake etc...pirelli were very good. this i tested by holding a tire straight out in front of me and wiggling the sidewall back and forth in the air. the firs thing you notice is weight, second thing you notice is the rigidity of the sidewall, where the extra weight comes from as it is thicker, thereby denoting a more sturdy tire. the tires that flopped back and forth like jelly were the lower quality cheaper tires. lots of people do not know this and have no idea and so get caught buying high priced tires that are not high end thinking they bought the best. the retread machine would expand around the center of the tire, pressurize and spin, somewhat like a lathe a knife would come along and skim such a fine layer off back and forth it would come off as black rubber fluff until the barest of steel treads would show and it was ready for rewrap. i suspect if this fluff was used, adding this one step would allow for a more controlled experiment with better results. as a proof of concept that this can indeed be done in a backyard setting ts great! love these crazy guys. i wonder if processing the tires and getting all the fluff off would be conducive to better recycling practices and actually be worth some cash. another big sink for petrochemical products is roofing shingles. it takes more energy to recycle this stuff than can be gained and the stuff is bad for the environment because nothing much can be done with them.
Talking with a guy who recycled tires years ago, here is some information to add. (I may not have it 100% correct) If you add Lye(tea spoon worth) it will help start the reaction and give you a complete reaction. Also means you only have to heat to 400deg to get the reaction going. Your byproducts should be dirty diesel (high octane) i believe medium carbon molecules, carbon black (good for black smiths), and the high tensile steel, plus the vapors that you can capture or reburn. You can further break down the dirty diesel to medium carbon molecule gas and diesel.
I'm going to build one this winter. With Alaskan winters I think I could just use the cold air for the cooling system instead of water. Have my coil outside in -30 below temps and cook the plastic in my shop for extra heat.
If you do correctly, you have no ashes but soot instead which can be reused too. A german company now wants to do this, because old tires you get nearly for free or you got payed to recycle them. Out of this you get oil, steel, soot and with the combustable gases you get energy for the pyrolysis free too.
That is much better than all the super smart scientists working on that thing for ages. I would love to do some analytics with it to make a resume about the actual content yield. One could distill it once again. Really cool.
This contraption also works with wood. I believe certain woods give off quite a lot of methanol. Also try and seal the machine better next time. All that tyre smoke is very bad for both your heath and the habitat around you. Please stay safe
Watch the temp on the second filter, that's the stuff at the plants that has 32 different temp sensors in each stack to monitor the tank for hot spots to avoid blowing up.
yes its called dry distillation and you can make fuel from most things that are carbon based. i think its a perfect recycle means for tires but should be used on wood scraps or agro waste like corn stalks. the really cool thing is the same process happens to oil in that you get fuel oil -> diesel -> karo -> gas -> propane because the vapor have a different boiling point. you should have used that fuel you made in some cheapo engine like a lawn mower just to see how well it works.
I would like to see a comparison of distillation and filtering. Then an attempt to combine both methods. Would be pretty cool to see if you can get it running a diesel engine, or depending on its pressure ignition point/flashpoint, a gas engine.
The stuff could work well in an old diesel engine with mechanical injection

If you pour gelatine solution into it, the oil floats on top and the gelatine takes all the particles down with it and sets, gelatine will clean old motor oil.
This system needs pressure and more initial heat so the gases react and have a chance to form chemical bonds and then a lot more cooling and more stages of separation, all those things are way harder to do at home with a basic system. Its amazing result thou with no pressure.
So you built a large Short Path distiller.
I used these on a smaller scale in a cannabis extraction lab.
Any questions on refining I'm having to be of service.
Using a vacuum pump at the end to pull the gasses off.
Also placing the pink collection flasks in ice cold water or even dry ice will get a better return.
Cooling the connecting pipes to -10 to -20 °C will fraction the gasses more effectively.
Amazing!!!Great job Garage54!!
Garage 54? Not today. It's Lab 54.
very wise episode, more of those are welcome :) sława!
I did exact same but with crude oil at school, using different times for extracting different fuels but at a smaller scale
what I’m hearing is a great form of off the grid fuel that can be used sparingly for long periods of time
Ever since the carbon tax here in Canada, that's what I use to heat my house mixed with wood instead of electric heat. I'll get my money's worth somehow
That tire ash should burn quite well . Excellent work!
My favourite time of the week, what experiment will they think of next, 😁👍
Looks like the tires that my ex is currently driving on🤣
Awesome work guys! That's essentially a huge horizontal fraction column still, a simplified version of what they actually use to make petroleum products from crude oil. I'm definitely subbing, can't believe I only just found this channel... Damn algorithm
I wonder if there is a Russian chemistry channel that could help them with this project. It would be awesome to see if they could use it for cars and 2 strokes
Yes, there are many Russian chemical channels. But their specificity is different from humor.
Maybe channel Thoisoi can help them, but ive just see, that they do a second video with this fuel on russian channel, just waiting for translation
run the fluid through a centrifugal filter/separator and see if the fuel will work with the particulates removed as it is in the first distillation condition.
You guys can do anything! Honestly the best youtube channel out there! My favourite by far!
You can get some potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide and water then mix it with the tire oil let it settle for maybe a week or so if you want to deodorize the tire oil you can do sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide and ethanol like golden grain
For best cooling the water should flow the opposite direction to the hot gases. You have it flowing the same direction. That will still work, but not as well.
Such a awesome channel 👍
There is a channel named Inventor Adventures and he's been doing this stuff for years and he has tried many materials also.
From what i remember tires are among the best materials for pyrolysis fuel production.
Mr teslonian channel shows how to extract different types of fuel from filtering and cooling in different sections. It's the wood gasifier videos 👍❤️💛💚
Garage 54 moonshine. Don't let them fool you. Lol
I hope you'll try running some of this crude stuff in some old diesel, it might run just fine.
this would be amazing for say a slant 6 that can take the abuse. Filter it first before you go hog wild and you are good to go.
Now like you said this is perfect for fuel heaters and honestly the only real benefit from doing this is just getting rid of tires while also heating your house or shop.
It is a mixed fraction mostly diesel Spectrum but has some lighter fractions mixed in as well
This is the type of stuff I can't get enough of,👍, awesome video guys, and thanks for sharing.
I'd definitely like to see more of this as I too am building my own pryolysis system for plastic and tires
Hanya ni channel ini sahaja mampu buat sesuatu luar jangkaan manusia terbaik❤
Yes filtering the liquid would be very exciting to see this is my favorite video
If you had the air circulating in copper coils in ice water you could get the really high grade stuff
If you can get some sepiolite clay and put it in something like an old hot water tank. You can drain this oil through it and it should come out pretty clean.
I really wish you would have given some description on what it felt like and smelled like. Was it oily like diesel, kerosene, or thin like regular gasoline? Did it smell like burnt rubber, or something else.
I'd try pushing it through a fine filter, like one of those toilet paper filters for polishing engine oil to see if it is a brown liquid, or has fine particulates suspended in the liquid itself.
VERY interesting video...
A couple suggestions.
I'd love to see what would happen if you ran some #1 & #2 plastic through your makeshift refinery. HDPE (#2 plastic in the US) looks just like a really long diesel molecule so in theory one should be able to break the chains and end up with standard diesel fuel.
Also once you refine this product down some more I'd try it in a small engine first. A lawnmower or weed trimmer has a lack of other stuff that could be fouled in an automobile.
I think it would be good enough (after filtering) for some old diesel engine.
This is one of the best things you've ever done! Love it!
That looks like a answer to getting rid of old tires. And I have a challenge for you guys, just saw a guy say that making a 7 cylinder engine is not worth the effort. I know you are up to that challenge.
I think an old diesel will happily run on that
These guys are like mad back yard scientist 😂😂😂 keep crushing it guys
"How It's Made: Soviet Pepsi-Cola"
After all the torture they put Lada engines through I'm surprised they didn't try all the fuels as is.
Who's to say they won't do that in part 2? :P
you should try to turn crude oil back into dinosaurs
😂😂😂😂 t-rex or velociraptor 😏😏😏
Government won’t be happy with this video. Oh well 😂
The liquid would probably run better in a diesel compared to a gas powered engine since diesel run off compression rather than a spark to ignite the fuel but wonder what that be like in a diesel 🤔
It may be too volatile to properly run a diesel though... you can't light diesel on fire (in a cup) by holding a flame to it, but this stuff lit off easily.
Or otherwise, because this start to burn immediately compared to diesel. Also could be better to use on carburator engine, not that clean for injectors
@@volvo09 so you're saying the fuel would pre detonate causing knock?
Yeah, this setup produces almost only petrol and gas. They would need to keep the first condenser at 180 °C at least to harvest diesel otherwise it just gets cracked into gas and petrol due to reflux. Keeping reaction temperature under 550 °C also helps. @@volvo09
i think a moped would run it fine
The flammable gas can be used the further the reaction, the first stage can be used as diesel fuel, the second stage as gasoline.
Super cool. I love seeing people doing this type of stuff.
would love to see a truck running on tires with this process built in for sure
Should take your labled bottles and run them individually through a pump and filter process. Test each by rubbing between your fingers to see which was a heavier petroleum. Take the thinner more flammable fluid and test in a car checking the plugs for the correct burn which may require having actual gas added. Also test each to see what settles after a month of sitting still and if the mixture with gas separates.
worked at a tire recycling factory, the would retread old tires, shred the junk. three tires were the best tires, strong thick sidewalls. these were goodyear. michelin firestone middle of the road but also almost as good were bridgestone firestone, bf goodrich. crappy tires were yokohama, general, toyo any chinese tires westlake etc...pirelli were very good. this i tested by holding a tire straight out in front of me and wiggling the sidewall back and forth in the air. the firs thing you notice is weight, second thing you notice is the rigidity of the sidewall, where the extra weight comes from as it is thicker, thereby denoting a more sturdy tire. the tires that flopped back and forth like jelly were the lower quality cheaper tires. lots of people do not know this and have no idea and so get caught buying high priced tires that are not high end thinking they bought the best.
the retread machine would expand around the center of the tire, pressurize and spin, somewhat like a lathe a knife would come along and skim such a fine layer off back and forth it would come off as black rubber fluff until the barest of steel treads would show and it was ready for rewrap. i suspect if this fluff was used, adding this one step would allow for a more controlled experiment with better results. as a proof of concept that this can indeed be done in a backyard setting ts great!
love these crazy guys.
i wonder if processing the tires and getting all the fluff off would be conducive to better recycling practices and actually be worth some cash. another big sink for petrochemical products is roofing shingles. it takes more energy to recycle this stuff than can be gained and the stuff is bad for the environment because nothing much can be done with them.
Talking with a guy who recycled tires years ago, here is some information to add. (I may not have it 100% correct)
If you add Lye(tea spoon worth) it will help start the reaction and give you a complete reaction. Also means you only have to heat to 400deg to get the reaction going.
Your byproducts should be dirty diesel (high octane) i believe medium carbon molecules, carbon black (good for black smiths), and the high tensile steel, plus the vapors that you can capture or reburn.
You can further break down the dirty diesel to medium carbon molecule gas and diesel.
I'm going to build one this winter. With Alaskan winters I think I could just use the cold air for the cooling system instead of water. Have my coil outside in -30 below temps and cook the plastic in my shop for extra heat.
If you do correctly, you have no ashes but soot instead which can be reused too. A german company now wants to do this, because old tires you get nearly for free or you got payed to recycle them. Out of this you get oil, steel, soot and with the combustable gases you get energy for the pyrolysis free too.
That is much better than all the super smart scientists working on that thing for ages.
I would love to do some analytics with it to make a resume about the actual content yield.
One could distill it once again.
Really cool.
What about different valve shape. I mean for example, not 4 round valves, but 2, in shape that cover more cylinder area.
This contraption also works with wood. I believe certain woods give off quite a lot of methanol.
Also try and seal the machine better next time. All that tyre smoke is very bad for both your heath and the habitat around you. Please stay safe
Watch the temp on the second filter, that's the stuff at the plants that has 32 different temp sensors in each stack to monitor the tank for hot spots to avoid blowing up.
I bet if you had a cooling sleeve in one of those condenser tubes it would work even better, one that had a flow of cold water around a section of it
It does thats what the sqaure tubing around the pipes was for.
Right around 6:30 is when I fell back in love with TH-cam. What a crazy place.
yes its called dry distillation and you can make fuel from most things that are carbon based. i think its a perfect recycle means for tires but should be used on wood scraps or agro waste like corn stalks. the really cool thing is the same process happens to oil in that you get fuel oil -> diesel -> karo -> gas -> propane because the vapor have a different boiling point.
you should have used that fuel you made in some cheapo engine like a lawn mower just to see how well it works.
Thank you, Garage 54!
Same method for get fuel separation from plastic . Very cool video
I would like to see a comparison of distillation and filtering. Then an attempt to combine both methods.
Would be pretty cool to see if you can get it running a diesel engine, or depending on its pressure ignition point/flashpoint, a gas engine.
Geniale Idee 👍😁
Die alten Deutz Vielstoffmotoren könnten das im Motor verbrennen, die konnte man auch mit Altöl betreiben.
With a setup like that it might almost be easier just make a wood gas set up.
