Alternative title "Watch us burn the shit out of an alligators head, you"ll never believe the results" and pyrolysis reactor seems to be a fancy pants word for really hot oven

@TheLittleIdeasllc 4 күн бұрын

That title is pretty catchy, but some things are not as they seem. Pyrolysis is high heat, yes…but it is also the absence of oxygen so you are able to extract the elements that make up whatever organic material you place in the reactor. The end result that you are seeing of the “burnt” alligator is actually pure carbon! Thanks for the comment and don’t forget to subscribe!

@ That’s exactly right. Funny you should say that…one of the projects we are doing involves getting grants and creating more efficient (and less waste) processes that will help NASA improve their operations. Stick around, because we are actually going to turn the reactor into a mini pyrolysis plant, turn a used tire into carbon with it, and then turn that carbon into diamonds…it should be an interesting journey 😁

the presence or absence of oxygen is kind of immaterial when what you've made is a pipe bumb. If the skinny exhaust port got clogged with tar or any type of debris then you've got a sealed pressure vessel with zero pressure release. Looking forward to your next adventure with deepfrying in gasoline or something!

Reminds me of some undergrad chemistry research. Try distilling the smoke and collect it. Probably would need to be done under an inert atmosphere like nitrogen or argon.

Found this video trying to look up something else and have a question. What is the point of the pyrolysis? Are you using it for something else once it's cooked?

@TheLittleIdeasllc 14 күн бұрын

Hi Anita, Ultimately, our goal is to use pyrolysis to recycle the end-of-life rubber that they chip-up and use as fill in the landfills. Pyrolysis is the cleanest and most environmentally way to dispose of old tires and plastic. One of the coolest aspects is that 100% of the "leftovers" can be used. The oils that are condensed from the "smoke/gasses" can be collected and used to fuel combustion engines. It is similar to diesel. Those oils can be refined/distilled further to separate their components and can be sold. The carbon black can be used in roads, tires, coal energy plants, and so on. But, we think that the coolest thing is that the carbon can be turned into diamonds, and that is our plan. We are going to turn an old tire into diamonds. Stay tuned, and I hope this explanation helped. -Gregg and Kyla

You can make that much more effective by placing a bit of dry ice in the pot before sealing it up. It will drive out all oxygen giving a better result. Afterwards, cover the outlet and allow to cool before opening to avoid reignition of the object.

As someone who has spent months trying to build a working pyrolysis chamber, I wanted to make some recommendations. Pyrolysis can require temperatures in excess of the melting point of aluminum, so i would recommend cast iron or stainless steel. Also, the lid seal seems to be the most challenging aspect of making a DIY pyrolysis chamber. You will have pressure build up, unless you plan to flare your gaseous product, and most silicone seals won't handle the heat of pyrolysis. You don't want the pyrolysis products leaking out through your lid, especially if you are running your chamber in an oven/kiln/furnace, because they will ignite and create a runaway fire, and the uncombusted and incompletely combusted products are very unhealthy to breath. You can make a seal out ofred rtv silicone, but it can only withstand up to the low to mid-range of pyrolysis temperatures. I found a product that can withstand up to 800 F, it's a siliconized latex made by rutland. Pyrolysis starts at around 200c (almosf 400 F) and you can get a pretty complete pyrolysis reaction at around 600C (about 850F). Temperature and pressure are adjusted to obtain different products and ratios of those products. Some reactions require up to 900C. Due to limitations of the materials I try to keep the temperatures between 400C and 550C. So you can use aluminum at those temperatures, but any higher you would risk catastrophic failure. I used a stainless steel pressure paint pot that came with 4 lid clamps, and I had to add 4 more modified c-clamps to get enough pressure to prevent leaks. You could also use catalysts to lower temperature requirements significantly. I'm still looking into those options. Hope this helps, feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Hey, Tim! Thanks for the great advice. Keep it coming if you see an area that we can improve. I did an off-camera experiment and it turns out our "not-a-turkey-burner" can easily smelt aluminum....SMH! I'm sure the aluminum reactor would have been fine if we were just sticking to making simple charcoal and light carbon based materials, however, our ultimate goal is the complete pyrolysis of end-of-life rubber - specifically tires, so, that reactor only lasted 2 days....oops! I am happy to say that I did achieve success, and full pyrolysis did occur with the vulcanized rubber (2 hockey pucks), because I had them in a steel container inside the reactor. That container survived with no deformity and contained pure carbon black. We will be using stainless for our new reactor. It is approximately 18x18x18, so it is a mini-monster. I will also be jacketing it with ceramic wool so we don't have any major cool spots that will condense within the reactor itself. I ordered an over-kill amount of "c-clamps" and will be using them to hold the lid tight, and our outlet will not allow for excess - unwanted - pressure build-up because it is 1.5 inched in diameter. Thanks for the temperature advice. I believe the top of your range is correct for complete rubber pyrolysis, and is where I plan to hold the start of my rubber experiment temps. Stay tuned. And, if you didn't catch our other project, we are going to turn the tire carbon into a diamonds. The math is done and we are about a month from starting the build of that machine. Have a great week. -Gregg and Kyla

@timothygorman2846 11 күн бұрын

@TheLittleIdeasllc I'm going to upscale to a 55 gallon drum reactor, because I will need to move volume. My plan is to weld some pipe to the sides, for reinforcement, and to make a gap between the drum and the ceramic wool, so the heat from the burner can rise up the sides and heat the drum more evenly. I'm flowing my gas through a gasometer for cleaning the gas, and will be capturing the oil for further refinement and the gas for storage and to run the burner. With a gasometer, my chamber needs to be able to withstand around 15-20 psi to displace the water. Sealed drums are rated for around 22 psi, so I think this will work. I'll be checking out your other projects. Being able to make diamonds would be very cool. Good luck.

This channel definitely has a good foundation. The editing is good, the information is great, good back and forth between you both, and overall I love it. The only points I can make, is that the audio had no background noise in parts, which can oddly enough make it sound a little odd at times (such as the SF Travis and Company spot, some music in the background may have been a nice touch there). The video orientation also felt a tiny bit odd, if you're doing landscape, go landscape. You can crop it or blur stuff fairly easily later. I'm not saying this to be difficult or anything, it's just a few things I've picked up on from doom scrolling through KZbin. It was still a really epic video! I can't wait to see how that tire turns out. ;)

Oh and have you thought about taking apart a old projection tv for the fresnel lens. And trying to heat the combustion chamber with something like the solar sinter? But I figured the easiest way to keep the chamber from melting would have a rotating combustion chamber. Or some programing that reduces the focal point in and out depending on desired temp.
