You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last months :)
Yes... He just forgot to tell you, that he will have to burn a few tonnes of wood or coal to convert those few tonnes of plastic back into fuel, to also burn it to drive his bike. Nice, making twice as much pollution while trying to convince everyone he is eco-friendly.
@@ogi22 The gaseous state that is created can be used to heat the plant, and once started will sustain itself. It is eco-friendly as the Bike was going to run anyway, and the plastic is already there. Great work mining the most negative out of a positive.
@@TonyScandal I also think this fellow may not understand that wood is a "carbon neutral" and renewable fuel, that is locally available. Also, products like straw, corn stover, and other agricultural byproducts can be used to convert the plastic to fuel.
Very great idea. I am currently looking to build one for myself so I have cheap fuel. It is great to see people from all over the world that have these ideas. And then bring them to life to better their fellow neighbors and communities. I would like to see an update on this video on how things are going for this young man.
Try to find a metal container as Diesel and petrol products will dissolve the plastic containers eventually. Nice job and good point about preventing littering with a valuable raw material.
Sadly, the NPA of Ghana would rather clump down on such persons doing such innovations. Getting a license is extremely difficult and they will make you feel its cocaine you are producing. The government rather should push for people to be innovative and if it's a high profit venture, they should tax them rather than make it difficult to produce fuels through unconventional means. Standards can be set and players adhere to them
This isn't an innovation. It's called cracking and the process is taught to every student, who has taken chemistry. This doesn't make sense in a world that desperately needs to get rid of fossil fuels. Cracking plastic and turning it into liquid substances is just another way of makeing a fossil fuel and burning it will release CO2, increase the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and make global warming worse.
@@stauffap I guess the current winter wave + cold temperatures in places such as Texas is as result of global warming? When it's hot-global warming, cold, global warming
@@oheneadu3730 Sorry, but you can'tjust look at the world and feel that it's now colder. You actually have to measure it. Relevant for whether or not the earh is warming are the average global surface temperature (or more precisely global average temperature anomalies). And remember glaciers are still melting all over the world. Greenland and the northern ice caps are still melting. The ocean is getting warmer and the sea level is rising. What can cause the sea level to rise? 1. Melting land ice masses, 2. Thermal expansion of the oceans (when things get warmer they expand). So that the sea level is rising can only indicate a warming world. And third of all you need to understand the difference between weather and climate. Weather is what we are concerned with in our daily lives. It's the short term day to day variability. Climate is something different. The climate is the average over 30 years. That the world is warming doesn't mean that you will never ever get cold winters again in all places all over the world. Some places could actually become colder due to changing wind patterns. What's important is the average global surface temperature though. That's the thing that's going to rise. It will become warmer as long as we keep burning fossil fuels. But remember that's it's the average global surface temperature that's getting warmer. You can look these measurements up on the NOAA (global temperature anomalies). Science isn't a matter of just looking at the world and feeling something. You need to look at the numbers. Also, i've studied physics and chemistry interdisciplinary and in particual i've studied atmospheric physics and i've been reading the scientific literature in regards to climate sciene for well over a decade now. It's simple physics that tells us that the earth will keep warming as long as we keep burning fossil fuels. That's just a fact of physics (google the atmospheric greenhouse effect).
@@stauffap Would you prefare to eat your plastic in fish from the ocean. Co2 emmisions need to cut down true but which is more of an emmergency. Remember the plastics will remain for 1000yrs
@@onekycarscanners6002 We can do a lot with plastics. Not just turn them into Fuel and burn them. "Co2 emmisions need to cut down true" They need to go to ZERO in order to stop global warming. This practice of burning plastic without capturing or at least offsetting the CO2 is not compatible with stopping global warming. Of course plastic in the oceans is a problem as well. This doesn't solve that problem though and it creates new problems.
Pyrolysis is fascinating but economically speaking it’s not viable. It should be a subsidised industry in areas where plastic waste is in abundance. Foreign aid could be used seeing as we send our waste abroad to tick a box on our carbon footprints or industries that won’t change their reliance on plastic should contribute. Obviously if it was cost effective pyrolysis plants would be everywhere so it needs to be financially supported. Also the quality of this mans fuel isn’t great the impurities needs to go through another stage of refinement. Government should support him with a chemical engineer to visit and help train him
I have been looking at this for a bit now. I also looked at old tires as well and it turns out they can be turned into fuel in almost the same process. I see that you have several tires around you. Have you attempted the process with a tire instead of plastic?
This is really captured my attention. Makes me want to start the experiment so I can use it for fuel in my Volkswagen diesel’s. I’m going to do a little research into this and see if we can start doing this here in Michigan. However in Michigan anyone who makes their own diesel fuel the state tracks their fuel purchases and if you’re not paying fuel tax they send you a bill a big one. There are cases out there about this. But I’m gonna try it on a small case and hopefully get back with y’all. It’s gonna be a while..
I think if you publish something like this, you should show some due diligence calculations. E.g., what are the potential fuel requirements for collection, fuel requirements for cracking, fuel yields, output fuel prices, etc. It's hard for me to imagine the numbers work out favorably. Also, although I hate plastic waste, there's a general principal in environmental management that it's better to consolidate waste. (This is in contrast to the old adage that "The solution to pollution is dilution.") The fuel-production method shown here turns solid pollution into airborne pollution, which is only justifiable if the displaced pollution (from traditionally produced petroleum) is greater than the pollution from this petroleum _plus_ the pollution to create this petroleum.
No it does not add to air pollution the distillation is done in a air free environment. The motors where the fuel is burned can be scrubbed free of any contamination.
Has with anything else, when people with great ideas come forth out of the wood work, there’s always someone coming around being nosy or ready to pounce on the idea you have. That’s unfortunately the way the world has always worked.
Somethings will only make money at minimal scale on a more local base. The bigger it gets the less money that can be made. At least until the technology catches up with the demand.
You assume properly. It is a normal pyrolysis. I'm just curious what is he using to heat his plastic. That pile of wood suggested he is burning it to distill fuel from plastic. And he is talking about cleaning environment? First he is using wood (more CO2 in the atmosphere and a LOT of wasted energy to convert plastic into fuel) then he is burning that fuel emitting even more CO2 and other trash into the atmosphere. Nice. Just burn that trash directly and leave those trees alone. You will make less waste this way. Just imagine what he will have to burn to convert 50 tonnes of plastic every day. Or maybe he will use coal to heat that pile of trash?
If he went to the local government with idea, and cut them in with heavily discounted fuel for government cars and equipment on top of paying the annually tax. I’d bet he could get a license quick.
So what this means it that we can use the fuels from these plastic bags to produce diesels to power our cars ??? Someone should help me here .. bcos Ghana can adopt this in this crisis !
It's easier to push the climate change hoax and just charge companies for carbon credits allowing a small few to become filthy rich than use the money to physically clean up our oceans, rivers and countries converting plastic to fuel.
@@cranki6316 Look at a few more vids and you will find that liquid as well as gaseous fuel is created. Pipe the "waste" gaseous fuel back into the system and that cuts out the need for any other heat source. For starting the system and running it really cheap, look into waste oil furnaces (cooking oil). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8q2_K1-_cNs.html
@@cranki6316 if you have enough deadfall around fire wood can be crazy cheap...that's not counting burning unconventional things.... and just a dash of land management, one could easily deal with all of a communities plastics. Takes a lot of plastic to make a little fuel in this case, i would imagine it would become harder to find plastic after a time than it would be to find fuel to burn it with
Maybe so but imagine running out of petrol in a place like the "canning stock route " Western Australia , with this contraption you could turn your waste plastic into life saving fuel !
Yes, pyrolisis is great think to get ouf of our nature waste plastic. But what can do with toxic leftover - slag, ash from it? It this case, throw it to nature. Maybe worse, than plastic polution. Because ash from plastic is concentrated mix of hafmful substances.
it seems that you have not understood how pyrolysis works, at high temperatures the plastic melts in a hermetically sealed space, then vapors come that condense into water and thus fuel is formed. this process does not emit toxic gases
LoL this is like 5000 percent more expensive than drilling for oil it's true you can turn plastic waste to petrol, it doesn't make it cost effective vs drilling, it might be worthwhile if you pile up plastic waste for 300 years until you had the tech to make it more cost effective vs drilling oil, but why tie up money in land to store plastic when you can use that money to buy fuel from a source that is drilled cheaply and then make more money by using that fuel to run a fleet of delivery trucks or farm impliments... People amaze me at their willingness to spend a ridiculouse amount of time that they could use to make money just to save a nickel... One person would have to pick up trash for a week to get one liter of gas... Or less... how much food can you earn in a week from your labor?
It should be a subsidised industry in areas where plastic waste is in abundance. Foreign aid could be used seeing as we send our waste abroad to tick a box on our carbon footprints or industries that won’t change their reliance on plastic should contribute.
