Wow, that's interesting but also scary. Plastics have lots of nasty chemicals in them. Those are getting burned up right there.
I'd rather let the refinery do that.

Well i think its time for me to start researching again. I would more then likely be getting into this. I love using Alternative fuels!

It'll be in pumps before you know it. Just like corn and soy.

has to be a way, Looks like tremendous amounts of heat is used. probably enough for my electric bill to go up and cancel out the savings with fuel costs and just raise my electric cost.

From what I gather there is a certain range of heat that is used. I saw some youtube guy doing it on a bbq grill. Basically boil the plastic and let it condense into liquid.
They say clear plastic makes clearish fuel and dark plastic makes blackish fuel.
Not my cup of tea. But I can already see the technology going to enterprise scale. They say that plastic is worth like nothing and fuel is worth a lot. And that it's possible to make a barrel of this new fuel for like $10+

if they could make good quality fuel from plastic that wouldn't harm out engines then i could see this being the wave of the future. But of course the fat cats who run the oil companies would never let this happen.

I was talking to a friend about this earlier then and he said the one of the other by-products can be burned to heat the plastic

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

which by product? Do you mean the a by product of burning the plastic itself can be used again to burn more plastic?

I believe liquid and solid fuel end up being produced, and the solid can be used to supplement whatever is being used to heat the plastic. I could be wrong though, Im going to have to look into this some more

I just found this site, it seems to be fairly in depth

I think it says they are using other manufacturing waste products as fuel along with compressed wood fiber etc.
