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.

This guy gets it. I've been thinking for years about pyrolysis in conjunction with fungi that feed on petroleum products. My thought was to buy a former landfill and use a trommel-type sifting/sorting system to essentially mine it for plastic and scrap metal. Theoretically , you'd end up with free real estate. The industrial sapphire angle is another incredible extension of this idea

@@semantechx I am glad you asking because I actually know. He did a pretty damn good job here. His machine has a reliable source of heat, the thermal isolation is perfect, he can run it under vacuum, and the most I like the way he removes the carbon after the pyrolysis ends. Making the bare machine however is really easy. You have to get some container where you put the plastics in>connect it to the condenser>divide the tubing in 2, one point upwards (there you will be collecting your natural gasses) next one point down, connect it to another container so your liquid yield can be collected. Don´t forget to fill the container with plastics with carbon dioxide so your plastics actually gets pyrolized. This way you make the cheapest pyrolisis generator from scrap metal from scratch, however you can´t collect gasses, but you get the idea. If you want it under vacuum as he did, just modify it according to his generator. The big pyrolysis powerplant generators already exists, however, only mixed waste is burnt here. They only build these in 3rd world countries, where waste is not recycled, and due to insuffitient effitiency of these powerplants it is not that widely spread it. Secondly, pyrolysing or burning chemicaly processed plastics like PVC creates toxic waste which contains toxic chemicals according to the plastic variant. (In case of PVC it is chlorine) and in Europe and such, we can recycle plastics others. I hope I helped you a little bit, I can provide with more information if needed

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.

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.

Facts! Because that is a real technology. He couldn't make youtube videos for the idiots of the world.

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.

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

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.

Are the fumes from the melted plastic toxic?

You come a long way since I seen your first reactor.

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

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!

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.

What do you do with the gas and the remaining waste?

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!

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 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

How much electricity did it take to produce how much fuel? What's the trade off?

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.
