Homemade Plastic to Oil with a paint can in a BBQ

[lourak]

Looks like you have to burn something to convert the plastic to oil. Not much of a saving.

@lourak

How do you figure? Charcoal or wood is dirt cheap.

[lourak]

@AllPro777 That may be, but I would still want to do an analysis as to cost in and value out.

It's not true gas, but you get lots of terpenes...true gasoline for a combustion engine is refined for a reason...controlled volatility. Awesome trial though, maybe be helpful in the future.

@saeidmomtahan or hydrogen from water

Sure. I was only trying if it was for real. I ve never tryed that stuff on my car cause i made like 50 mililiters only but i tested on a piece of paper and it burned rought like gasoline. The paint can finally explode in a few minutes... But hey! That was funny. Take care with the fumes, they make headache. Trust me.

@thetrico those are poisonous gases

On a bigger scale, this can be done cleanly and efficiently, with a little more technology.

Excellent work man!Its just great!

Guess his wife won't let him do this in the house. lol Just kidding. This is excellent proof that anyone can make their own oil. Just watch and see how the gov will try to make it illegal.

Did this explode? did you burn the oil? Did it smell bad? It seems you could start an oil co. with low overhead. after getting some oil it can be burned in a stove to make more oil. Thanks!

What is that container you're using? Is it something off the shelf, or is it purpose made for this demonstration? Thanks!
