Poles can do it. He picked up garbage from the forest and turned it into fuel

Although, of course, rather in a demonstrative and experimental way. However, this does not change the fact that he managed to obtain some type of fuel. However, one step at a time. A creator from the Stahu DIY channel has built a plastic pyrolysis kit that is powered by wood. We are talking about a tight, metal container, a radiator and a condenser. It is somewhat reminiscent of a distillation machine, although its product is much more… caloric.

Before we discuss the entire process, let’s move on to the input. Well, Stahu DIY he collected garbage, mainly PET bottles, from a nearby forest and these were used for the experiment. He then placed them in an oxygen-free chamber and lit a fire beneath it. The temperature of the system exceeded 300 degrees, which started the pyrolysis process.

It involves breaking down the long chains of hydrocarbons that make up plastic. These gases then pass through coolers, where they partially condense. In this way, pyrolysis oil is created, which is suitable for further refining into diesel oil or gasoline. However, it is also a very flammable product itself.

The second effect is pyrolysis gas, which is also suitable for further processing, although in the case of Staha’s DIY experiment it was simply burned for safety. The experiment resulted in a small amount of oil and an unspecified amount of gas. However, this is due to a design flaw of the entire system, which was based on pipes with too small a diameter, which resulted in their clogging due to the formation of soot.
