Didn't mention recycling once.
>Show me evidence that technology exists. I'll wait.
Making things hot and then pushing the hot mixture through a bunch of chambers is as old as the industrial revolution
>same products as crude
You can make diesel and oil in your backyard using plastic trash. You can make gasoline with an extra step. Never seen it done but I presume that if you can make diesel and gasoline you could make it more complicated and make more processed oil products.
Ever done that yourself?
Really gonna edit your comment twice while I'm trying to respond? Now I see the answer to that question is no. You haven't seen it done because it's not possible. You're making an assumption based on something you don't even know can be done. Amazing.
>tons of pollutants into the air
Besides the wood (co2 is a meme anyways), the process of pyrolysis itself heats the object in an oxygen depleted container. So no combustion occurs. Therefore no smoke (again besides the wood). Solid waste products can be an issue but still are less so than the actual plastic itself.
>Because it's not energy efficient
I may have been wrong about the efficiency of it, I remember reading that it was. This guy's setup definitely is not energy efficient, but more sophisticated ones might be. I'll have to do more research into it. But energy efficiency isn't my main point. It's still something worthwhile to do with plastic to make something decent out of besides putting it into a landfill. Burn all the oil based fuels you want to produce it, we aren't gonna run out anyways.
>but not quite as useful as true gasoline. It isn't diesel.
He has his set up to produce something similar to gasoline. But a product similar to heavy fuel oil, called pyrolysis oil, is the most base and easy to produce result. The most obvious use to me of this would be to power marine 2 stroke engines, which can damn near burn crude.
>people besides some hippy in the jungle
No. Nor do I expect them to. Hell, it isn't something most people should do period because it's fucking dangerous. It's time consuming, dangerous, expensive, and not efficient for the means that the average person has access to. I don't believe everyone should have a whole setup in their back yard producing shit quality oil like something out of the great leap forward. I believe it's something that oil companies and recycling companies should be doing a lot more than they do. They've got the means and capacity to do it on an industrial scale, but they never will. Microplastics in your blood are necessary for the jewish Messiah to come, goy.
I don't have the time to convert plastic into fuel because I have a job and shit to do and it's time consuming. I posted a video of someone actually doing the shit.
Plastic is a product of oil. It's pretty fucking obvious that if you heat certain things, they melt to their baser forms. Diesel is more processed than "crude" (it isnt technically crude) and gasoline is more processed than diesel. It stands to reason that if the process can create oil, diesel, and gas, that a more complicated setup can create more processed fuel.
Yes! Exactly! Processed! Not melted! The chemical makeups of crude oil and plastics and diesel and gasoline are NOT THE SAME. The process for making plastic is NOT A TWO WAY PROCESS.
