    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Converting waste plastic into useable fuel

This young man caught my eye earlier this summer and I'm downright impressed with his project. He's using solar power driven microwaves to heat waste plastic and convert it useable fuels such as methane, gasoline and diesel. He's doing this 100% via crowd sourced funding and has made claims to be getting out more useable power out of the system than goes in. No, this isn't breaking the rules of physics, merely converting the fuel in the plastic to a more useable form.

I had watched that linked video a few months ago. Got a clog in the system and no real results.
I've looked for and there have been some follow up videos like the one below with another problem. And several others where he claims to be putting fuel he made from plastic waste into vehicles. But I don't know, Seems like a smart kid. Guess we'll see where it goes.

You really need to watch a LOT of his videos to get the full run down. It would be nice to have something put together in one nice package to promote his story but then again, little bits and pieces tend to drive up views and more importantly, public engagement. If you're trying to make some money via social media it's a necessary part of the game.

Right now he is indeed doing public events where actual vehicles are running on the fuel he creates. Altho his videos often end with a problem or glitch, he does get past them to create actual fuel. He's done interviews with people trying to debunk him and ones where he takes his fuels in for analysis. I'm a "believer" but sure do look forward to some real life peer reproduced tests.

That’s what I was looking for, peer reviewed results, and not finding it. I’ll take a deeper dive when I have time. Definitely interesting.
