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.

Some thoughts:
1. Plastic pyrolysis is a well researched topic. It’s historically been very uneconomic to reprocess it at scale.
2. It’s not that simple to make fuels from plastic. For gasoline, you must have the proper octane or it will ruin your engine. It could make a decent blend stock though.
3. You are likely making a lot of olefinic gases. Probably better suited as plastic feed stock rather than fuel.
4. The compounds you’re making are likely very unstable. Put them in a fuel tank and they will oxidize in a few days I would recommend hydro treating.
5. For your safety and please consider adding pressure safety relief and back flow prevention on your apparatus.
6. Lastly stay motivated love the enthusiasm.
I believe that as energy gets cheaper from newer technologies like nuclear fusion, it will be economical. Isolated communities would also benefit a lot from it because of a way to dispose of the majority of their waste. There are those Liberian dudes making an entire business of that in Liberia because fuel is so scarce. With all things considered, you make some good points, but I believe that there are a lot of applications for it considering the constant need for gasoline in cars and the piling up of stuff in landfills.
Aren't the main challenges just the energy input and material sorting? Nowadays, these issues are solvable. With solar energy and AI-powered sorting, his machine can achieve net-zero emissions. Historically, emissions released into the atmosphere were a concern, but his machine addresses this by collecting all the carbon char and gases.
@@chillchilli2671 As a process engineer with my entire career in energy and chemical processing. You are, without question, oversimplifying the issue. Energy is still expensive whether it be solar or wind. Nuclear SMR’s may be energy dense enough to solve the energy issue. Sorting of raw feed stock is crucial but I can promise you AI is not going to automagically separate PVC and fiberglass from HDPE plastic. It’ll take a process unit.. process units cost money. Issues like water saturation will also need to be addressed. The water will take an enormous amount of energy out of the process further decreasing margins. I’m not saying it impossible just improbable. The apparatus works but add in the pre and post processing energy required and you’re stuck with high Capex and razor thin margins. The pay back period and ROI will be very low. I’m here to tell you that the majority of people take energy for granted and don’t realize the amount of work required to get it to your home or in your car. Looking at his setup/plans I guess he’s using about 4.2 kilowatts of electricity. That’s a lot considering his diesel yield looks to be about half a gallon.
@@kotataylor1310 I work at a recycle processing plant and we do have AI powered machines that can recognize and separate solid materials, bio materials, plastics, and glass. The branch I work at is one of 50 others that have these machines.
@kotataylor1310 I have been thinking about what you said. It is true he has made a fundamental error in his energy calculations - there is a video where he claims to produce almost twice as much energy in fuel and he puts in in electricity. The flaw is that he is comparing the two. As per the 2nd law of thermodynamics, you can only convert fuel energy (heat) into electricity at an efficiency of around 35%. So that means he would have to get around 3 times as much energy out in fuel versus electricity put in to break even in energy terms.
However he is onto something and this is exciting, electricity varies in price through the day - when the solar etc is running hard and demand is low, the price drops indeed at times can even go negative (yes they pay you to take the power). So if he uses power to run his process when it is really cheap, generates fuel, stores it and then runs a generator (I'm thinking a gas turbine) when the price of power is much higher (during the evening), then you have created a battery - taking power at one time and delivering it back at another time! On rough calculations you would need to be able buy the power at a maximum of 2/3 the price you can sell it for to make this break even. Interesting!
I dont understand how your channel is still relatively small with how big of a deal this is. Seems like you are maybe being artificially restricted. Hopefully i am wrong and you are about to grow more.
Hey. I'm interested in what the kw input compared to liters output your getting? Or do you know the energy conversion rate? Also is there a reason why your using a microwave and not a heating element like off a kiln? Well done and I'll be following your progress. Cheers J
Vibrating vs heating....
Im gonna guess he could get the microwave parts easier.
You are incredible, truly inspiring. It must be gratifying to work on something green and always gratifying when you motivate others to do take action.
Young gun you’re smashing it, some of the pieces look rough as, but that adds to the beauty showing your time and dedication to this build.
Are you using wind and solar to power with DC to bring energy costs down? DC can be done without a battery pack for pulling charge directly.
Fellow Aussie?
Your videos are awesome! That Diddy joke was cold😂
This looks amazing your machinery skills and knowledge are very impressive!! Someone else said it, but definitely consider looking at backflow protection and pressure safety relief. Those are both huge deals when preventing explosions and runaway reactions.
Back again for another inspirational engineering project
Great job on all of your videos dude. I hope one day you become a BILLIONAIRE because you deserve it man. Keep making videos.
This guy is a genius. God bless
That nice bro can’t wait to see you from finish building it up 💪🏿
Dude, what?! Wow, the engineering and science needed to build this thing is incredible! Do i hear an accent? Where are you from?
Very very cool project! I didnt know this was even possible!
Hey man. Quick question, how do you deal with the odor? And isn't the fume carcinogenic?
You got to publicly say that you're not suicidal or depressed. You can't be posting this kind of stuff without attention my friend. Be careful out there. The world especially nowadays isn't so lenient just look up what happened to the guy invented the water car, or every country that tried to have their money financed by their own oil reserves
Nuclear structure welder here if you ever have any welding or fabrication questions I'm a open book bud glad to see people doing the trade
This isn’t something he invented. No one is going to murder him over this 😂
This kid for sure is doing great for himself, and he is doing what he like.
After say that, you all look like not so smart people, first of all, the plastic problem is only one, recycling and use it again to make products.
Using plastic as fuel is so dumb and wrong on many level.
1) world first country are everyone running away from fossil combustion.
2) pollution.
And the best part is i didnt see any comment about how he call: " this is natural gas" " this is diesel " " this is jet fuel"
I mean, cmon, atleast take your product to a lab and show the chemical composition.
There are already poeple out there study and inventing new photovoltaic cells that have 30/40% efc and you are all talking on this amazing kid videos how he need to be protected because he is Einstein 2.0, just crazy and insane 😂
This has been around forever. It’s nothing new
@@fermignano89 Calling people dumb in a language you barely understand will always be funny to me.
Nature, wat kinda welder u use?
for your funnel system maybe adding a motor that shakes the material into the machine? Maybe make it on a separate frame with rubber mounts so avoid the system falling apart.
Hi what the energy input vs gain
I think you are amazing!

This is like codyslab from years ago, love it.
Hey, I was wondering what the chemical composition is of the plastics you are using? If they only contain Hydrogen, Carbon and or Oxygen, this is awesome. Though, I am wondering if the plastics happen to contain inorganic elements like what methods or preocedures do you intend to use to make sure that they can still be used for pyrolysis that would leave us with fuel mixture only consisting of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen?
He should definitely check each piece of plastic added though, as burning something like PVC, CPVE, FPE, PTFE can produce chlorine gas, which is deadly...
Also, I should mention that bio matter, like a banana peel can be used just as effectively. Just not dangerous materials like the ones I mentioned above
@@chillchilli2671 Yea, my main concern is contaminants in plastic that contain certain elements other than H,C & O.
How does this channel only have 5k views
I appreciate the little snippets of Eminem playing in the background. Top notch 👌
how many batterys and solar panels do you think it would take to run continuously
i feel you come somehow track how much energy you put into creating fuel on each run and get a decent estimate
and if you have a estimate im sure alot of people including myself would be willing to crowdfund the panels and batterys
and if it can be proven to be efficient at a small scale i know you could get funding to make a even larger one
i would like to see a future where entire plants are running these machines and the Earth is saved from all the plastic waste
God Bless you
More questions sorry. Why a vacuum? Doesn't the pyrolysis create expansive pressure...
I think the vacuum is to remove oxygen so that there will not be explosion.
@@tehabnorm drawing out the oxygen melts it and keeps the plastic from burning. The fumes produced from burning plastic can contaminate everything, melting plastic produces no fumes. Genius idea imo
To the people saying he’s going to get killed. People run waste and crude oil all the time. It’s basically the same thing but you just have to work way harder to get the crude oil. That’s the main difference lol
"The blades spun pretty good... once I removed those ribs" - Savage 😎 Now the haters have to shut up about the ribs
Ever thought of grinding little teeth on the blades to create finer pieces?
I still can’t figure out your accent
I was thinking this too. He could very well be British. Just by some of the words and phrases he uses. British and autistic. I have family who are on the spectrum and they have a very strong American accent even though we are not American.
Bro 1:50😂😂😂 was not expecting that shit had me dead
Now I wanna make a gas turbine and use your fuel to run it
Can u sell a hoodie with a full zipper and pockets? Pull-overs are less convenient.
The system doesn’t want you to get lot of views because of petrol companies doesn’t wanna lose money, if you understand what I mean you understand.
Watch him disappear after men in black come to his house💀😭
PIF reactor
I hope you have a microwave detector
Don't think. Just do
BRO as a state engineer, go work for NASA my dude😂. Like do you have a degree or you just WHICKED SMART
your ideas are good and that's what i like about this channel but you got to learn how to film better!!!!!
Don't sell this technology! Licence it out!
Love you bro keep up the work
I wish I could give you some cash but im broke as a joke so I hope my like and subscribe does something for ya
