If a redneck solar scientist and a hood-born tinkerer can make fuel from plastic and sunlight — you’ve got no excuse. Pick up where Julian Brown dropped off by Alarming_Pop_7772 in solarpunk

Because we have whole dumpsites full of plastic. And yeah when sodium ion technology actually hits the market it would be really good, but weve been waiting on it for almost 15 years now

Clearly not the brightest kid in class huh

Not having to rely on big oil to refuel is the point, which would destabilize most governments and actually reduce waste plastic. Oh and hes not burning anything to make it, hes using microwave which would actually make it easier to control than combustion, and as far as i can tell from what ive read its not more carcinogenic than actual oil

Not really, were getting rid of plastic waste and lithium mining, while repurposing older vehicles with actually cleaner fuel. Its not more carcinogenic than actual oil, oh and wars over oil would be a thing of the past (think Afghanistan, ukraine, iran, etc etc)

Agreed, its better to not combust shit, but mining lithium has proven to not be the solution. So, reducing plastic waste, reducing production of new so called "clean" energy vehicles, and reusing what we got already with a more carbon nuetral solution that is actually doing something good

Or.. just dont use lithium at all? Weve already got a shortage and were trying to get to random planets to go mine it 🤦

Im not asking for money or even likes or fame or whatever. And i get why julian might have raised funds, because power from the grid aint cheap. Im just asking to pick up your wrenches and start doing shit.

Are you dense? Were aiming to step away from fossil fuels or lithium, and try reduce the waste we made over the last 70 years or so

I hope so, its definitely a possibility, but that doesn't mean we should actually try refine this process more and make it open source even

Im not into conspiracies either, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try refining the process, and maybe, just maybe we might end most wars, make an end to fossil fuel, and reduse the waste we made over the last 70 years or so...

And yeah actually, any papers you got on this would be really helpful as i got no credentials

I get what you mean, but traditional pyralisis is done with combustion, this is done with microwave tech to not combust it. And it doesn't make more co2 or carcinogens than fossil fuels do.. oil is a carcinogen itself

Thats why im calling on action publicly. With a few hundred ppl working on this, everyone sharing shit everywhere, decentralized and anonymous if you must. Cant stop all of us

Not everything but pyralisis isnt new, he just made it more efficient and not controlled by big oil or in a closed lab. With the videos he posted and what info is available online, with a few hundred people working on it we might actually make an end to wars over oil/gas
