>blacks discover gay process where you can pyrolyze plastic and lose energy on the net
>whites discover awesome kickass science where you can get free energy from magnets and background radiation and shit
This is why blacks are underrepresented in science, no ambition

That guy found a cheap ghetto way to turn plastic waste to gas, give him some credit
At least poor people can afford gas now
>>
>Julian Alexander Brown is an American social media personality who claims to have invented an alterative fuel from plastic waste. The process he promotes is actually standard pyrolysis, a long-established chemical method that produces fuel with higher levels of carcinogens and other pollutants than traditional diesel.[1] He also claims to be working to turn pollution into a source of energy through his company called Naturejab.[2]

Well, he's breathing in toxic fumes all the time. But it's a pretty good grift.

oh so its a GEET engine, interesting

this thread glows

>>16809625
recycling plastic with some net energy input is still useful

Case in point >>16810865
The free energy schizos are almost universally white
This one brings a website and an ebook with combined hallucinations of LLMs and human fools

You'd think that with six gorillion independent scientists each having unlocked Tesla's legacy and solving energy scarcity that life on Earth would be the least bit different

Tesla's stuff works great just at super high frequencies which make it hard to use.

>>16809675
NTA but I do give him credit, however he's being willfully misleading that this process loses more energy than it creates.

>>16809625
Fuel from plastic is not much different than biodiesel in that more energy is expended to create the fuel, they both contain carcinogenic volatile organic compounds and other contaminants to varying degrees too.
Creating fuels out of plastic is more expensive for the guy making it due to the extra filtering steps, intensive heating, and emissions systems required. Unless he's retarded like the man in OP, and plastic comes from bins and filtering is done on his face by a t-shirt. But as an input plastic scales well at the level of a municipality.
Altogether not at all practical for cleetus or ngubu who is filtering his oil with simple equipment and hopefully using a catalyst that doesn't need heating. But plastic fuel could be a recycling process performed by some already existing recycling facilities with some investment. Really nothing new or ground breaking here though. It's a way of recovering fuel from a waste product of a waste product. It's probably not worth doing without adjustments elsewhere. Less plastic floating around is good though.

I was thinking that the successor to 5g or maybe even just 5g could power a walkie talkie or something.
Makes me wonder how telsa would have tried to solve the problems with his devices. He certainly didn't have software operated MIMO antennas to play with.

>On 9 July 2025, Brown posted a video on social media where he expressed concerns about being followed and stated he believed he was in danger. In the clip, he said, "I know I don't have long to live" and urged his followers to "screen record this".[10] Following that post, Brown became inactive online.
>Despite the widespread attention and theories surrounding his potential disappearance, the Atlanta Police Department stated that no official missing person report had been filed. Brown's mother Nia Brown, later confirmed to reporters that he was safe but declined to provide further details for security reasons.[11]

I did a mini version of this process, its not too new this has been studied by actual companies and stuff too (idk if anyone has commercialized it but it is taken seriously). Its cool as a DIY project and maybe useful for real but it won't change the world since it actually just isn't anything new.

The heating is not a problem. You wouldn't want to run a car on this crap, it would do much better in some boiler system.
More than 1 trillion barrels of oil a year
57 million pounds of plastic/year - what that roughly uh 200k barrels or something?

Hyper niche plastic recycling application.

Hood yakub pretends https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_Verfahren doesnt exist. Would be better to run a Steam engine with that or produce electricity and fuel electric Vehicles with it. The combustion products are nasty af.

>>16813691
The bomb proof diesels of yesteryear would do fine. The injector heads won't like it but with enough processing thats not more of an issue than using regular fuel. It'd be something like this
Prefilter->RO->Carbon filter->membrane filters->oxidisation step (might not be a good idea for fuel but overkill when dealing with such nasty VOCs is the safe bet)->prefilter->carbon filter->membrane filters->RO->stabilisers

Pyrolysis processes for producing gasoline have been around forever. It's just heating up plastics in an anoxic environment.

Yes, the pyrolysis can be self sustaining, so essentially you turn some plastic into gasoline and use some of that product to heat up more plastic which then a portion gets used for more heating and so forth. This means that you can essentially indefinitely produce gasoline as long as you have a supply of plastic. The biggest downside is that it produces CO2 and some other nasty pollutants you probably don't want anywhere near where humans live. You're just unlocking some of the carbon stored in plastics, so it's gonna throw off long chain hydrocarbons and other carcinogens into the air which nobody wants to breathe.

That's why it's better to just grow plants that aren't toxic and convert them to alcohol.
