Thanks for sharing This is the first i've seen of a portable machine of this type. The technology for this type of conversion has been around for years-- the challenge has been making it economically and/or environmentally feasible (eg is the energy used to generate the heat/electricity worth the energy exchange of the oil produced)
There are other examples... http://www.mindfully.org/Energy/2003/Anything-Into-Oil1may03.htm (turkey guts/waste into oil on a larger scale). I have been driving diesels since 1998 and have been an advocate of bio-fuels (or alternative to ground-based-oil extraction) for years. There are challenges w/ bio (plant based) fuels as we can't possibly grow enough fuel to meet our needs and there is concern that diverting food matter into energy production drives up food prices and disproportionately affects poor/developing economies. Having said that.. technology is emerging/being developed so that we can attempt to convert any biomass (the stalk of the corn plant and not just the ear of corn we typically eat--). Additionally, ideas such as those presented in the video below (mining the garbage dump to convert waste into oil) provide incredible opportunity. thank you for sharing Chad On Sun, Mar 6, 2011 at 7:19 PM, <langwi...@comcast.net> wrote: > http://www.flixxy.com/convert-plastic-to-oil.htm > > christine > > > _______________________________________________ > Chat mailing list > Chat@charlesvillage.info > http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info > archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/ >
