Here's the video breaking down how the reactor works: • I turn Plastics into F...
I believe with the world wide crisis we are facing now, we require a world wide solution. And this is why I believe we need decentralized devices such as this Reactor. Think about it, even if there is just 1 reactor in every community, that will put a huge dent in plastic waste and pollution.
Due to this, I do not wish to make a singular specialized Reactor, once I master and complete this one, I want to make all different types, of all different scales and sizes.

I think a challenge you could try is to attempt to run a gasoline generator and see how much electricity you can produce with it. That would be pretty interesting to see
Would be great if it also generated electricity, indeed, but given it runs on electricity it feels a bit odd, would be nice if he was able to use the very gas contained in the plastic for the reaction, harnessing the leftover is dangerous af tho.
A steam turbine could also be used by heating water and running the pressured steam through the turbine itself
@@bitsofeverything8385 modify the exhaust to be the cracking unit... start it on liquid, once its hot its running on vapours and youre still condensing the heavier stuff... exhaust pipes get rather toasty :)
but i cant help but wonder what the electricity will then be used for.
lighting? why not a gas flame with mantle? quite like old gas-lighting...
cooking? ummm... youre making stuff that burns hot anyway.
heating water? ditto.
about all you need electricity FOR is convenience, and the puter, radio, tv, etc.
basically, just remove the engine and figure out how to not rely on electricity.
It would be good for the statistics of the machine too
This machine will not be able to run on its own power it creates. But that is not it’s purpose.
When you compress the gas from.the yoga balls, I would put a bucket full of water with the inlet going into the bottom of the bucket and the outlet for the bucket with a check valve. This will prevent an explosion in case of a spontanious flame in the lines by having the water act as a stop line/shock absorber and the water will additionally captrure any voltiles so your gas burns cleaner in the end.
You could also have a barrel in place of a yoga ball with a pressure meter that hooks up to a microcontroller for the gas pump that it turns on the air compressor when it reaches a specific pressure range and turns off once it falls a certain bar below that range.
I'm sure there are some microplastics left behind in your coke, but I've been made aware there are species of fungi that could break down these microplastics for energy while also breaking down the carbon molecules in the coal for food. I'm not sure if this is something you'd be interested in, but if you'd ever be willing to send me the waste I'd love to try it and be in communication with the results.
While it's a little off topic, I'd had an idea for recycling aluminum from the leftover plastics using gallium as a catalyst to produde alumimum hydroxide that can be reduced into alumina crystals which could then potentially grown on a catalyst into pure sapphire sheets which are incredible using for industrial applications.
Please keep doing this research. You’re on to something really important. Your intelligence and humor are refreshing. I hope you win a Nobel prize one day.
Nobel prize for a condenser?
This man can turn the Kardashians int unlimited energy
🙃
, you know what happened to all the inventors before him that created something amazing.They mysteriously disappeared Look for the Y File
this is going to be big
I’m so glad you decided to use metric rather than imperial
the international community agrees 🌍🌎🌏
Would it have hurted your wittle bwain
timelapses were so cool to watch
nice work!
There is no need to talk nonsense about efficiency, you did a wonderful job so far. There's much more value that doesn't match the eye than the mere net energy calculation. It's waste reduction in a quite simple setup that anyone could have at home.
we neee to turn all the plastic into energy and stop dumping it, the only condition is doing so cleanly, this is a very valuable research.
i think i counted 4 coils...
maybe 1600 watts each... maybe 6000+ watts. so your breaker is fried. and the electric bill makes it pointless. so if its offgrid your ok.
the microwaves would radiate through the machine and irradiate the area the machine is in. everything inside, outside and produced... is radioactive and gains more over time.
how many gallons is a yoga ball, how nuch liquid do you produce from each?
@@pazsionwhile it's possible that the microwaves do leak, creating a risk at the time of operation, they won't build up over time. Microwaves are ionizing, but they won't interact with and activate the neutrons of the surroundings like a fusion reaction will. That's why your microwave doesn't give you a radiation burn every time you reach inside
Please understand the chemistry behind the reactions first. This process is highly dangerous for health and enviroment, its as a fact also not economicly viable (fully burning the polymere as often done is far more energeticly profitable). Nothing a everyday person should consider
@@JanPoppe-it4dq needs a fume hood with proper filtration for sure, but extracting everything useful boosts effienciency... we could do more to keep this process clean, than industry ever could...
hes finalized the design, now he just needs to shield it and contain any toxins produced... he has the right idea of reusing the waste from the process... as everything can be used it ahould be!
nothing from this process should leave as waste or normal operation. everything can be used, refined and has monetary value. usefulness.
irradiating the materials can also produce new materials... and its risk of contamination decreases rapidly over time depending on what is produced. most is just charged ionizeation of materials... some metals act like a battery and store this energy until shorted out...
This is so cool. Thank you for putting out this video!
Love your energy, man. I can feel your passion through this video
That was truly interesting, thank you for all the calculations!
Keep it up! Very inspiring. I am looking forward to you separating the products in the future, Your own back yard refinery, Take that Big Oil!!
Leak issue may be from Teflon on the union. Try using pipe seal compound (pipe dope) on the face of union and tighten. It’s more of a paste rather than tape and will give a good seal on that bevel flare
I just left the same information lol. Great minds and all that
This is so cool dude!!!! You’re going to create a whole new industry of mining the garbage dumps for the emery that was thrown away.
💯💯
You got some balls showing this off dude! Great work!
So glad you are still at this.
I was not getting any of your content for a long time and worried you might have stopped your work, but very glad you continue!
Good job. Creative and efficient. Wish you more progress and bigger success.
HOW IS THIS STUFF NOT VIRAL YET?!?!
Because the government hate us
who want to do this at home?
@@user-ox6nc6ly7f trust me at this point anyone, with gas so high it’s like paying for vacation without a vacation
@user-ox6nc6ly7f people who want to save money. The way gas is skyrocketing I'd rather much make my own.
Because someone does this same BS invention every 4 years. This is a Freemason scam! Nothing new under the sun.
Awesome dude. Always been wanting to experiment with this stuff, turn dead plastic into useful stuff or stuff that is harmless to nature. I'm impressed with your tinkering and set-up, much respect. Do you have any degrees or are you self-taught?
Wow, im impressed. You will get far and bless many.
Расчёты проведены строго просто и логично! Поздравляю! Очень рад вашим успехам! Будьте осторожны при работе с электроприборами…
Very effective! Have you started using this fuel in your daily life?
I checked the titles of some of your recent videos and got my answer, keep up the good work
When it comes to spilling stuff you can contain your liquid is hdpe jugs for motor oil and turn them sideways to pour it out; you get more control that way.
I want to know what the conversion is. How many dollars of electricity for how many dollars of plasti-gas. And I would also like to see what he gets once the system is actually efficient for real. I see losses all over the place, first beginning at the electrical outlet.
How did you attach the ball valve to the yoga ball? Or can you lead me in the right direction, thanks
This guys a mad genius! Love it, keep it up!
Some thinner plastics like old grocery bags, and petrolium based foams like styrofoam can easily be melted with a spoon full of acetone or gasoline/petrol, it's one thing I would do to increase density in the primary reaction chamber.
I think there is a calculating error by the gas. its uncompressed gas in the ball(evtl. 1 bar over atmospheric).
So 1m³ of gas arround 12kw. The Ball seems to be 75cm in diameter, so the volume is max 0,19m³ *4 Jogaballs is 0,78m³ * 12 kwh = 9,36 kw in gas.
I think the calculated weight of the gas is wrong or therr are gases that are much heavier.
With this calculated, you get max out what you get in.
But nice work, thought about for my solar overpower, but exluded energy is to complex to use it well.
Better in a specialized recyling raffinery, that sells different energies.
I suspected he was way off with the gas. He also calculated his carbon without factoring what he seeded or that he would then need to use the carbon for seeding again, thus its not part of his energy equation. Im pretty sure he lost at least 4.5 kWh not gained 20.
good job! have you posted any videos explaining the thermochemistry - energy balance aspect of things ? is the energy put into the vessel less than the energy gained under the shape of gas, oil and carbon?
Did you forget to add the weight of the carbon you put in? The plastic alone was 16 pounds I thought. Did you also get oil or liquid gas?
Excellent work young scientist. 👏
What is the Temperature required for efficiency?
I've seen a few videos where the product solidifies after cooling down, can't have that in tank.
This is excellent. Well done. Subbed. Cheers J
I like your electrically powered method of heating the plastic, because its a way to utilize and convert solar energy for example, into stored hydrocarbon fuel energy. That overcomes a big limitation of solar, its only available 6hrs a day at peak sunlight.
Hello sir I'm from Philippines ,,do you have data specially what is the velocity or flow rate of vapor??
My sympathies on spilling stuff, I'm right there with you on spilling stuff!
It's great that you're able to do that. But how much electricity do you use to break that down. I have seen people use scrap wood and miscellaneous stuff for the Pyro pyrolysis. You know what I mean. Anyways nice work. Be careful that you may have formaldehyde or some very nasty stuff that did not break down. Would hate to see you get cancer
Loong time Microwaves can't be cheap
You should store the vapor in air mattresses
Good ideaa
They like to have holes in them.
But… you would have far fewer opportunities for ball jokes.
Hey mate, love your work , I think It might be worth gofund or investing in a direct high kw solar setup to the power points you use for your shredder and pyrolysis device. Would be a cool proof of concept running this on sunny days, gathering fuel.Then running a generator at night for your house (using your fuel). Other then parts replacement and solar panel degradation it would be extremely efficient/good for the planet! Keep it up 😊
Have you measured your energy input to see how much energy is required to obtain x amount of energy from the gasses extracted? I know the ratio will get better as you scale it, but I’m definitely curious
Great Video man! Thanks for sharing.
The real move is to experiment using electricity from solar to heat the plastic. That would be perfection!😊
yup, if your using the grid, your raising prices and burning coal and lpg and maybe nuclear, but i havent seen anytging suggesting nuclear is used for consumer power at all, less than 20%...
causing more problems that your trying to solve... gotta get that power off grid if your over 1200watts and running constantly.
your using more kwh than your putting out? why use kwh vs gallons?
is that how many hours you can produce 50,000 watts for 50 hours?
ita hard to rationalize or make sense of these meassurments?
esto es genial. muchas gracias por compartir tu informacion big bro
You come a long way since I seen your first reactor.
Curious about impact of mixing organic and non organic - think movie theatre or take out trays, or maybe orange peels \ pistachio shells\ banana peels. Does this lead to longer runs / reduced efficiency? Perhaps more water recovered? Water is a scarcity now so if this can recover perhaps there is value in the water recovery vs evaporation? Average home solar might be 6KW. What would a unit running only on solar look like? Also, thoughts on how your setup might work if it was set up and a 25 degree angle downward to the exit? You may need to support the auger shaft to reduce rubbing (maybe with a collar and post?), not sure how flexible the gas pipes out are, and adjust how the motor sits on the box but I wonder if that could induce some lift and swirl, or at least aid in moving the material towards the exist so your clean up is a bit easier?
Yup, water content shoots up a lot when food is mixed in, it almost acts as a deiscator / distiller . This takes 4KW to run at full power so I guess a home solar could run it. Running it angled downward is great for carbon but bad for plastic, because the plastic will fall down too. It'd be best to have it tilted just when I need it to be.
Could you instal something that acts like a sift to allow the carbon to drop but not the plastic? Like a netting, or something like a chimney sweeping brush.
I really don’t understand this machine enough to know if this would be possible or even useful. But when I saw the idea of separating the powdery carbon from larger plastic pieces, this was my initial thought.
Have you tried fractional distilling it? If u you have access to an nmr machine id love to see the breakdown
Nice Project :)
25kwh isnt huge, you should expand it more and try to make your process a lot cleaner and more efficient.
what if you calculate the wear of all the machines out, is it worth than?
If you would have done this commercially, than you would have to take into account, that you probably would have a low pricetag on all the products, as its often that producers have low pricetags, because of taxes and stuff. So would the math work out at a large scale?
Nevertheless i like your proof of concept! :) Keep up the good work!
I have an idea that can help with the condenser heating up problem you could try putting a canister around the pipes and have them full of ice water to cool it better
@narutejab where can i start learning how to do this?
What do you do with the gas and the remaining waste?
Fuck all the criticism. You've had a fan in me my guy. Really awesome work. I'm honestly inspired to build one myself. I'm working on a CNC project at the moment but I have some btc machines running off of donated solar. I think this would be a great way to repurpose that energy. Thank you for all your work mate 🙏. I'd love to work together someday. Keep up the great work 💪
Appreciate the support man! Best of luck to you & your project
And I hope I get the opportunity to work with great minds as yourself

How do you throttle the hashing power of the miners as to not overload the supply that's available from the panels?
Hi mate, you got flashback arrestors on the gas output? don't know much about all this but it seems like it would be a good idea
Also would suggest a bit of nylon or some nylock bolts/nuts on anything you want to stay fully tight
Spamming the comments and again I do not know anything about this but is it possible to do the gas calculations for the reaction to determine the pressures so that you can compare it to the max rated pressure of the tank to prevent explosions before they happen.
Full respect for what your doing btw it's amazing that you have this all working
Yea, I have a 3 flashback arrestors
I built it out of propane tanks rated for over 200 PSI, but some of the other fabricated things I.e the waveguide covers can only withstand a lot less PSI
Is argon heavier than air? Was the exhaust pipe near the top?
How much electricity did it take to produce how much fuel? What's the trade off?
How clean is the recovered gas. Can the carbon be pressed into briquettes and burned. How much did your reactor cost to build. What powers your reactor, has and electric and what gas are you using. Are you willing to share your reactor build plans or are you selling the plans. How are you compressing the recovered gas into the tank. Food for thought. If you use a forklift propane tank, you can safely fill it to 400+ psig
After a couple of runs, could you make carbon powder for graphene?
Are the fumes from the melted plastic toxic?
Is the pressure increase in the chamber dew to a ball being overinflated?
I am curious as well
Modern technology can be used to farm methane with your kitchen waste and lawn waste in two one cubic meter plastic containers. You can compress those methane fully automated into a light-weight, installable propane tanks for charging your Aptera in the backyard 7/24. If you don't use them to charge your Aptera, you can use them to cook your food or warm your house as well. All kitchen waste will become fertilizers eventually, which you can sell/donate to vertical/roof-top organic farms around metropolitans.
Consider looking into solid oxide fuel cells as a way to use the output gasses as a electricity source. Fuel cells tend to have higher efficiencies than combustion engines (Carnot cycle max efficiency is ~30% whereas fuel cells can get up to ~90% efficiency).
how do you separate it to petrol(gasoline) and how do you purify biodiesel and petrol ,besides using water ?
Dud does this carbom burns? Can i brick it for storage an burn it for heating"
Yes, we'll be burning it soon
Im working on a white paper on Carbon. Would love to touch base with you. Are you willing to chat about this experiment on commercial scale?
Can i ask a stupid question? Why not just burn the plastic in a high efficiency furnance that burns off smoke to heat water for steam power generation?
Facts! Because that is a real technology. He couldn't make youtube videos for the idiots of the world.
You can make three stages for the collection part each one in water. Each stage will be something different. One Diesel one kerosene one gas. You will be able to see it by color as well once it’s done! That gives you all 4 natural gas ⛽️ gas ⛽️ Diesel and kerosene!
Great job
Hello, may I know if you used mixed plastic or just one kind of plastic? In that case with tyoes did you used?
Does the card board just contribute to the gas?
Pretty much
have you considered just burning the plastic directly to generate power, you can likely still capture some stray gases as well
Why isn’t this more mainstream, why isn’t this common practice?
You are amazing man, good job.
It makes so much sense what you do.
You combine common sense, science and that with DYI methods you have on your hand.
Microwave heating, as I understood, you spent 25 kWh, right.
When one has some surplus solar or wind electricity and has some trash or waste biomass, well then do what?
Billions over Billions of Dollars are spent in some fancy silicon valley start-ups to solve the holy grail of storing renewable energy.
You did it with DYI means in your backyard.
Outstanding work.
Peace out.
Thank you, and that is an amazing application of this technology!
How much cost the set up ?
This is amazing !!!
The hardest part, is efficiently converting the matter back into energy.
Indeed
You know there are barrels of oil but now we have yoga balls of gas!🤣🤣🤣 I laughed and laughed when the balls came out!😂😂🤣🤣 This was so funny, Thank you!🤣😂😂🤣
The innuendo is the cherry on top with this video.
My first thought was to mix the charcoal with paper pulp logs for firewood
Good idea!
The oils may melt styrophome and that might make a good binder.
@kreynolds1123 the furnace is separating and evaporating all the polymer/oil based chemicals. That's all in the fuel product coming out of the process. But paper pulp has enough residue sap and binding from the paper making process it should bind by itself
Yoo keep in good health so you can keep up rewriting history man ✊🏿🙌🏿
The gas you are extracting is the same as mu99 refrigerant. Great stuff.
just want to know, after burning the plastic at 400°c what is left behind??
Carbon
Teflon tape is a lubricant not a seal. Use pipe dope designed for gas systems and Teflon tape to lubricant your pipe to tighten further
Plastic was one of humanities biggest achievements and equally biggest mistake.
With this demonstration, the scales tipped just a bit back to achievement side. It's cool to see how practical this process is to reuse those bajillion tons of useless waste plastic. Even if we somehow go 100% clean power in the near future, this stuff would still be so useful for terraforming as an initial power source.
The biggest mistake was using plastic as "single use". You literally have this amazing material and you mostly use it once before throwing it out the trash
How much does this cost on your electric bill?
Why use the yoga balls? Why not just run it directly to whatever tank youre storing the gas in?
The extra 24.803 kWh comes from the plastic alone?
How much each ball weighs in gas ?
My only advice is don’t use Teflon tape it sucks use a premium paste. This is very cool 👍
WHAT ABOUT OLD, DISCARDED
USED UP TIRES, TO RECYCLE
BACK INTO OIL or GAS ???
AUG. 2023
It can be done but causes acid rain due to the Sulphur in it.
Right.
If you want to see if that is worth while actually run the machine on the by products you are making...
If you can successfully run it whilst producing product then you have achieved efficiency 👍
However I see it as more like half of the energy used is recovered 🤷
hello
do you sell your plant?
this is the coolest shit i've seen in weeks
The new ABC - Always Be Compressing 🙂
interesting broo.. hope one day u got nobel prize... keep research this invention for best future for world
this is amazing
Cool! Thank you.
You are giving an energy rating to the "coal" that was left over. Can it be burned in a coal furnace or used for blacksmithing?
yes it can!
Sorry I know you said you calculated the gains very precisely, but its going to cost 60-70% of your 49kw Total converting it back into electricity ! So you are actually only gaining approx 7.44KWH. The only way to win here is to burn wood for free! Or use Solar to power the microwave.
The reactor can be improved, and newer versions can be made with less flaws, and more effecient.
@@thomasbeard4528 There is a way you can do that but a bit pricy. If you put many 20w TEG's (5cmX5cm each)on the top of the barrels with thermal cement and blow a fan on the cold side heat sink, also could diy a TEG array with many 100s of pairs of 2 types of metal wire twisted and put in the hot side which would be a fraction of the price as the 20w TEG's but will need loads more time and labour. Also you could put a sealed water boiler running a Tesla Turbine gen to recover some of the heat into electricity. Or do both until you recover most of the electricity ?
My question would be, what can you do with the coal product ? will it burn ?
Keep up the good work 😊😊😊
I just discovered your channel. Never thought of using a microwave to do this! My technique uses an electric arc and waste gas to heat the chamber, it produces a Diesel like fuel I burn in my truck. You are doing something real, unlike most who are just scammers.
Let’s hope he doesn’t suddenly die and all of his research and prototypes go missing…… only to have a mega corporation come out with something incredibly similar a little bit later.
