Where are the investors???? 7 years later...Why are there not MORE machines like this???Or at least develop this machine and make it even better and more efficient....
This is a great idea - getting and collecting all those loose plastics and taking care of business is what it's all about. Best of luck with the device
Lida del Monte I agree, even now when I look out of my window or step out of the front door am faced with someone who puts or throws stuff away making the place look untidy and it is this that leads to places being called a dump - people bring it on themselves and why they do that is a head-scratcher at best..for they could prevent it. I guess it takes something else to get a grip on the matter at hand. Dealing with the rubbish is one thing, turning it into a profit is another innovative way in using modern equipment and techniques that are available. The mentality of those around us is again, another matter entirely. People in general are a messy lot and they make it known by leaving their rubbish in other peoples view...some even use it to irritate another neighbour or get their back on the local council cleaning services...all in all its a good point to have machines to clean it up..but its the people themselves that need to be taught how to and not to..that is the hardest of all as it not learned at school though very well could be. Lets teach children today not to throw garbage around and make their future home clean on its own.
Actually I do very precisely, through them away in separate garbage and I used those plastic bag, otherwice I have to buy another plastic bag for it...I can't afford it and spend euros for that...I don't think so..I know what you mean, it also happened around here, well, at the moment I'm not doing my volunteer job, but I found out it's something to escaped my reality and I can't take it, to pleasing anyone..and facing my emotional problem giving me more space, at home more time and some very close friends of mine...so I think I stick with this, and my kids doing well...so far as now..Anyway, thank's with your reply, I enjoy reading it...yep kids must learn too!!Bernard Coldwell
Yes, the price of garbage today is a costly thing - its then no wonder why so many throw things where they fall - It's down to the people or the persons responsibility in the end. Is good to have children brought up with the right education surrounding and concerning the environment...Good for them.
I had been voluteerd work at school, I've done it for so many years I got paid small amount, but the last few month I got very sick, with my anti-depression, and indeed it takes really time, to get back in track, and to take seriously, sometimes you don't want to feel those shit, but their's no escape...'till you willing to giving up everything, but finally you've learn to make a choice at the moment taking low doses, 'till I'm ready not to take them anymore.. , i'm going off, I'm also deleting a lots of messages...terrible, but I have to stop now...thx Bernard Coldwell
This man is doing heroic work. Since we're all on youtube here...do some independent research on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and on other garbage gyres and plastic pollution. Learn how the plastic breaks down to outnumber algae in the oceans and so enters the entire food chain from the bottom up. This environmental crisis affects us all and we all can do our part to become a part of the solution. And hey, if this technology means less waste and oil-spills it's a sign of hope to me!
Let’s just give him funds to generate more such machines so that we can clean our most precious environment which has been gifted to us by god. Don’t you think as a man we should take some steps to ban plastic and to convert the plastic again into crude oil and return it to the earth as it takes a lot of years to generate crude oil and we are wasting it by using plastic, I know there are some benefits of plastics also but it has more disadvantages as compared to its advantages, so let’s go and supply him and other persons like him to clean the environment. If it would be available to donate I would surely donate. God Bless You sir and people like him.🔥🔥
Blest refer to 1 kWh as the "running cost"&their specs on this particular machine are that it can take up to 3hrs, depending on the type of plastic (the type also affects the amount of oil produced - the 1 liter example being CD cases only,apparently), for the recycle process. Suggesting energy use of 3 kwh per kg/liter. If we assume, as one commenter claims "1 liter of oil contains about 10kwh of energy" that means expending 3kWh to get 10kWh which would mean a net gain of 7 kWh of energy.
@MartjeB1 It said in the video. Let's say you wanted to power a kerosene lamp. While it does take energy to get the oil from the plastics into kerosene, it takes a lot more energy to: A) Drill for the oil in the middle east B) Refine the oil C) Ship the oil to, say, Japan where the film was produced D) Convert the oil to kerosene E) Ship the kerosene to a store F) Go to the store on your car/moped and back Tell me, which one saves more energy?
You’re underestimating how much energy it requires to make this technology. And the amount of electricity required to actually pull this off. And the efficiency of plastic burned to oil gained.
I could find only old Blester 1 data on Japanese website though, it takes 3kw of electricity to process 0.7kg of plastic. And the Blester 1(current model is Be-h) cost about 3 million yen ($30,000) back then. Mr. Ito said it can reduce to about 500,000 yen if it gets mass produced.
You can use the sun or the wind so you can also reduce co2 by using even a co2 collector with it. So you don't burn oil out of other countrys reduce waste and you will reduce co2 it's a good idea.
This is already being done in Sweden in large scale, according to the Swedish wikipedia page on plastic recycling; 79% of all plastic is being recycled in Sweden.
I don't know if it is just me, but thinking on this, actually we are increasing CO2 emissions with this. According to one of the UN CDM methodologies, plastic is inert when landfilled (meaning that it does not increase emissions, the carbon contained in plastic stays there). Therefore, the process of turning plastic into oil makes this carbon available once again. In the end of the day, when you turn plastic into oil to be burnt, in my opinion, it is the same as burning oil.
A pressure cooker may not get to the temperatures hot enough though except to make the simplest hydrocarbon, which is methane as a gas. Best to see if these units are for sale.
@hugolp Blest’s conversion technology uses a temperature controlling electric heater. The machines are able to process polyethylene, polystyrene and polypropylene (numbers 2-4) but not PET bottles (number 1). The result is a crude gas that can fuel things like generators, stoves and, when refined, can even be pumped into a car. One kilogram of plastic produces almost one litre of oil. To convert that amount takes about 1 kilowatt of electricity, which is approximately 20 cents. -Not my words.
god bless you sir, creativity directed to conversion is ever the best thing. the power should see this and putting an hand on heart, if they have a heart...
We can buy these converters when they become a complete home heating and hot water boiler system using the Blest mixed oil fuel! At least, that's my impression!
Great idea, but I wonder what happens after the plastic melts down... is there any left overs? Can we use 100% of the plastic? I wish more details were given in this video...
@sprinters1981 The point is that oil supply is limited, and we literally throw tons of it a day in the form of plastic (and inefficient means of transportation, among others). With ideas like this, we can use more available, easier to produce and less polluting sources of energy, like electricity and heat, to keep some of the oil we use in circulation, instead of so merrily throw it away in the oceans, or bury it under the soil.
But while burning this fuel ,CO2 is also been produce But the idea is brilliant and revolutionary for prevent the plastic in the world. Great Idea. Well done Japan !
It actually requires more energy to recycle plastic into other plastic as it does to make new plastic from petroleum, so it is not as efficient to recycle plastic at all. Blest doesn't say whether or not their invention will efficiently recylce plastic back into oil or if it requires as much energy to just refine more petroleum, but it is worth looking at it.
How clean is the oil? What about all the inks used to print on the plastic, and the inevitable food scraps etc, what happens to all that? Is it really this simple?
The safety issue is also because of the pressure differential as oxygen via diffusion would want to enter the container and if the container is too thin metal it will crush and the carbons and hydrogens also would want to distribute themselves evenly outside, so something strong like a pressure cooker should do the trick.
@TheMadmoey Where can people buy this? And also where can I find information on how much plastic will create one gallon of gas and if the gas this produces needs to be refined to put into a car? Thanks.. Does blest have a website?
where can i get one? or rather, where are they planning to be installed? it would probably make more sense to make massive ones for recycling (we already sort plastic out here in austria) - but it would also be nifty if there was one in every supermarket across the world!
I have a question or two, just what kind of toxic crap is left in the container after you're done making oil and how much energy does it take in the process. if it takes too much energy in the process the return is very small and the carbon used is raised considerably. if it takes 30 tons of plastic to make a half cup of oil I think it may need work. none of these issues are even mentioned.
what is the efficiency of turning this plastic back into oil? how much energy do you have to put in to get a certain amount of energy back (in the form of oil)
Very clever and interesting invention. The problem I foresee is that it uses both electricity and water. My question would be how much water/electricity does it take to convert X amount of plastic back to fuel? How much byproduct is leftover?
When one thinks in terms of energy storage, then this could be useful. If you are using a wind generator or solar to power the device, you are then using that power, to create a liquid that has a lot of energy that can be used when the other cleaner energy sources are not available. Currently one may be storing energy in batteries, but once they are full, this is another form to store the energy in.
And since the answer to the question below is obviously 2) due to Lavoisier principles, we really need to answer: what is better (or less worse) - do change plastic into oil and the burn it (increasing CO2 on atmosphere and the greenhouse effect/global warming), or digging big holes to bury the plastic?
Photovoltaic may not be an efficient source of heat, but parabolic reflector trench technology will easily create the needed temps. This technology heats oil up to 400-600F in order to boil water via a heat exchanger. The steam then powers a conventional turbine.
If this really works and the amount of energy you need for the conversion is less than you can get out of the resulting oil, we are looking at one of the most needed inventions of our time. Why isn't everybody talking about it and isn't it mass produced and marketed all over the world? Where is the catch, which I dearly hop there isn't. Where can I buy one?
I think the Filipino inventor Jaime Navarro who converted plastic into diesel kerosene or gas fuel last July 2012 got his idea thru u-tube video (uploaded by UNUChannel on Apr 13, 2009) of a Japanese CEO Blest, Akinori Ito.The Japanese company Blest has developed one of the smallest and safest plastic-to-oil conversion machines out on the market today.
I would LOVE to have this in my truck and attach it to my auxiliary fuel tank. Would be a great thing to have if finding fuel would be a serious concern. Could use it to get to a safe point in case of disaster.
@UNUChannel What are the specifications? Can I get a link? How much energy/power is required to produce 1L of oil - and how much energy is needed for the refining process. Is the refining process machine also included in this cost? If not what is the cost of the refinery machine.
So how much electricity does it require to convert 1 kg of plastic into 1 liter of oil? How much does the machine cost? How much waste is left from the process? Does the waste have any other uses?
A basic unit does not require electricity, but it does require a heat source. You could use wood which has an energy value of 18MJ/kg to turn plastic in to fuel which has 36MJ/kg energy value. We have developed a robust system that will work in places where there is no electricity. We have sold a number of units into Africa.
After we figured out to solve this problem, to get all plastic waste made into oil, we still have: advertising-brainwash, society, money and bankers, monetary system, poverty, greed, wars, pollution, scarsity, ... to deal with.
This type setup could be made cheaply and efficient by having an insulated steel container, like a pressure cooker, above an induction hotplate so that all the heat originates in the container itself. That could easily be done in anybody's garage. If nothing else, take the oil to an auto parts store for recycling. Better though would be to have a GEET powered generator which would run on this oil without need for refinement.
For me, one question needs to be answered: the resulting OIL has more potential energy than what it took to be produced? 1) Yes: GREAT, let's study this and bring it to industrial scale 2) No: Ok, depending on the needed energy to produce (process efficiency), it might be an alternative for plastic recycling. Or in worst case, an academic experiment.
It would be much better if we were to HELP this inventor somehow, give public support, rather than sitting back, bowing our heads to these corporate bullies, and and watching him burn. If we want things to change, stop being a bystander and demand change! He needs our support, not to bow our heads and let him be destroyed! Stop bowing your head and stand up for what you know is right!
i'd be interested to know how much the device itself costs, and then how much energy it takes to heat the plastic sufficiently to regain the oil. Unfortunately, with times being as they are, people/companies aren't going to want to subscribe to this kind of technology if it isn't going to be profitable to them in some way.
Great, this machine will convert waste plastic which would have either gone to landfill or be burned. But converting it into oil then burning it doesn't really help the environment. And how much power is used in the process is another thing to consider, especially if the power source burns fossil fuel.
I really can't see where are we reducing emissions with this... And when we put into the account the electricity needed, it is actually increasing emissions...
What about the energy/calories spent in the process of heating ?,. If it is more than output , it is not worth, unless we care for the piling up of the garbage and its disposal.
You could use wood which has an energy value of 18MJ/kg to turn plastic in to fuel which has 36MJ/kg energy value. The conversion ratio from Plastic to Fuel is about 80%. The energy gained is more than the energy consumed. We have developed a robust system that will work in places where there is no electricity. We have sold a number of units into Africa.
Me parece muy interesante. Quiero saber los datos de contacto para comprar un equipo como el que se muestra y tal vez uno de mayor capacidad. Estoy en México
if you look at the screen of his machine at 2:11, even if you can't read japanese you can see that the temperatures are in the high 300-low 400 degree celsius range. 400 degrees celsius is over 700 degrees fahrenheit. this machine requires a very high amount of energy (to produce all that heat), and that is probably the catch.
You're missing the whole picture. By turning local plastics back into oil, you're reducing the amount of oil that needs to be transported from far away. You also reduce the need to explore and drill for increasingly more difficult to obtain oil.
This video is over 6 years old. WHERE CAN WE BUY THESE CONVERTERS ALREADY
Where are the investors???? 7 years later...Why are there not MORE machines like this???Or at least develop this machine and make it even better and more efficient....
@NBA review we could produce gasoline in house, fantastic
@@gutmannjacob9262because it’s cheaper to pump fresh oil. That simple. This is very energy intensive

GREAT=LOVE TO SEE THAT=POLUTION IS GROVING ALL OVER THE EARTH=BEAUTIFUL START...
I feel like this is a quick fix. What will we do with excess oil?
Photovoltaic may not be an efficient source of heat, but parabolic reflector trench technology will easily create the needed temps. This technology heats oil up to 400-600F in order to boil water via a heat exchanger. The steam then powers a conventional turbine.

It's a shame oil companies would never allow something like this to be mass produced for consumers.
Hi, this idea is already in fonction or in test ? Is a formular exist to help and develop this fantastic idea ? What about develop in europ ?
Are there any residues? Can we recycle them as well?

What about plastic bags like polythene
I'm curious after the plastic is melted and the gas is cooled by the water to for oil, is there another waste product other than the gas?

Very interesting product. But how does burning the plastic -- instead of recycling it back into other post-consumer products reduce atmospheric CO2?
I'm all for recycling! Thank you for posting this video!
Wait... So you just heat it to melting point, trap the gas, and cool it back into liquid? That's it? Damn that seems too easy.
i'd be interested to know how much the device itself costs, and then how much energy it takes to heat the plastic sufficiently to regain the oil. Unfortunately, with times being as they are, people/companies aren't going to want to subscribe to this kind of technology if it isn't going to be profitable to them in some way.
The only thing I'd like to know is how much energy does the process take
Can someone tell me please how long it the process of transforming the plastic to oil?
Great, this machine will convert waste plastic which would have either gone to landfill or be burned. But converting it into oil then burning it doesn't really help the environment. And how much power is used in the process is another thing to consider, especially if the power source burns fossil fuel.
I really can't see where are we reducing emissions with this... And when we put into the account the electricity needed, it is actually increasing emissions...
From the article linked below: "One kilogram of plastic waste produces almost a liter of oil while using about 1 kilowatt of electricity."
how much is it and where and how we can get this machine?
where can you purchase one of these machines?
What about the energy/calories spent in the process of heating ?,. If it is more than output , it is not worth, unless we care for the piling up of the garbage and its disposal.
You could use wood which has an energy value of 18MJ/kg to turn plastic in to fuel which has 36MJ/kg energy value. The conversion ratio from Plastic to Fuel is about 80%. The energy gained is more than the energy consumed. We have developed a robust system that will work in places where there is no electricity. We have sold a number of units into Africa.
but what about the extra CO2 produced by the power stations to power the heating elements in this device?
what is the capacity of the machine?
why does this not have more views?
Where can I find the spanish version, please?
Me parece muy interesante. Quiero saber los datos de contacto para comprar un equipo como el que se muestra y tal vez uno de mayor capacidad. Estoy en México
if you look at the screen of his machine at 2:11, even if you can't read japanese you can see that the temperatures are in the high 300-low 400 degree celsius range. 400 degrees celsius is over 700 degrees fahrenheit. this machine requires a very high amount of energy (to produce all that heat), and that is probably the catch.
How much does ones of these cost?
You're missing the whole picture. By turning local plastics back into oil, you're reducing the amount of oil that needs to be transported from far away. You also reduce the need to explore and drill for increasingly more difficult to obtain oil.
Beautifully produced.
