From Plastic Waste Make A Petrol Like Fuel.

  Hey friends, welcome to Tech! In my hand, I've some plastic waste. I just collected from surrounding not from my home. This much plastic waste I got it from the surrounding, then think how much plastic waste would've accumulated so far. The plastic which we use on daily basis couldn't be disposed safely. Even we couldn't stop using plastic. Because that is how we've been raised so far. We used plastic bottles, bags, covers and other stuffs for our needs. We didn't get any replacement for it yet. So what we're gonna do today is, we're gonna take all this plastic waste and make a petrol like fuel. That is equal to petrol. Just like we can Petrol which we use for vehicles. So the video is about that. 

 The important thing we need is a can. We've taken an oil can. We need to remove this lid and put the plastic in it. Also we need to drill an extra hole here. So I've taken an aluminium tube like this. This is a 10mm tube. So I'm gonna drill a hole that fits this tube. So let's drill with a 10mm bit. Ok, the hole is ready, we can push the tube in this hole and seal it airtight. So there is a gap here. To fill that I've taken M-Seal. We can mix it properly. So we've mixed it well. We can stick it around the tube. The main purpose of this is, it should be air tight. No air should enter in. We need to burn plastic without air contact. So we've sealed the tube well. It's stuck properly now. So inside this, we can fill it with plastics that needs to be melted. We've taken plastic bags.

 Since these bags enter inside this gap easily. So we can push these inside. We've took all the plastic from this surrounding. Somehow we have managed to fill all these plastic bags inside this can. So the last plastic cover is being pushed in. We can close the lid. We need to close it tightly. It shouldn't come off easily. Friends, next what we are gonna do is to place this can over a firewood stove. We've setup a stove with these 3 bricks. Next, we're going to extend this aluminium tube. We've taken a plastic tube and pushed it in. The opposite side of the tube will be connected to a jar. So we're going to drill an inlet in this lid. We need to drill it. We're gonna drill a couple of holes. First hole is done and over to the next one. One hole is an inlet and the other an outlet. 

We've drilled couple of holes. We can stick these aluminium tubes in this. We're sticking so that it wont leak. Just covering it with M-Seal. So that there wont be a leak. We've setup couple of tubes in the jar. We can take this tube and connect to this aluminium tube. The reason why we're setting up this jar is for condensation. In order to collect the fuel in liquid format. That process is called condensation. So from the other tube, we can fix another plastic tube. Now we can keep it in a vessel.   Once we've kept in the vessel, we need to pour cold water or ice inside this. We're putting ice cubes on the side. No matter if it's cold water or ice. So in this jar, we'll collect the fuel. We're burning it with firewood. We've got some dry wood. With the help of this, we're going to burn and process the plastic. So we've burnt it and it'll take some time to set. The plastic inside needs to melt. 

So the melting has started inside the can. We can see the steam inside the tube. It'll get condensed inside the jar. See the tip of this tube, you can see some smoke. It's the remaining gas from condensation. If we show it in fire, we can see that it is burning. This is the remaining gas from condensation process. There will be liquid inside jar but this is the left over gas. In this tube, you can see a liquid like petrol is formed. You can see it dripping. Due to the heat, the tube has become a bit flexible.   So we've collected some petrol in this and gas is coming via outlet. See! The gas is coming out well. As said earlier, these are left-over gas. That is what it is burning now. Since there is a bend in the tube here, it got condensed with environmental temperature and formed a liquid. We can just lift it or else due to heat, the tube might become faulty. The processing is still happening. Petrol is filling in. We put some plastic in and burn it. That procedure is complete.

 I'll explain the work that has happened. The plastic which we pushed inside can and burnt, with a technique called Pyrolysis of plastic. A process where plastic is thermally cracked due to rapid heating is called Pyrolysis of plastic. We convert it into the state of gas, then we'll bring it down with the help of this tube to a jar to condense (converting gas to liquid). That is why we're using this condenser. This is a natural condenser with ice. In that we have collected, the plastic oil, that is similar to petrol. Can call it a fuel. I'll just show you now. I've just tightly locked it so that it wont rise up. We can loosen the lock and we can see the oil. We can call it a plastic oil or similar to petrol. But this is not pure. It's in raw format just like crude oil. We need to filter it in order to be like Petrol, Diesel and other stuff.   So we're going to burn this oil. You can see this oil is not pure and has a couple of layers in it, according to its density. Just like crude oil, it has many levels. We need to filter it properly to consider it as a pure fuel. We can't call it like Petrol or Diesel as there is no filteration process involved. 

This is flammable. Just like Petrol/Diesel, we can check if it burns. We can just fire a match and keep it. It burns so well. We're using Petrol/Diesel mainly in vehicles. These are separated from crude oil. Similarly from this plastic oil, we can separate into different formats. Means we can separate different fuels for different types of engines. Only when that process is done, we can use it in vehicles. In future, when the petrol is about to expire or when plastic's usage is high, this method might happen soon. We might be using this fuel in vehicles. There are high chances for that. There are many studies happening regarding this. Like disposing plastic like this and making a fuel out of it. There are studies happening in this regard. If that is a success, in future, we might be using plastic oil as a replacement. If that happens, the plastic waste that has accumulated and couldn't be disposed will come to an end.
