Julian, something to note if it hasn't been covered before: microwaved carbon can form (very) small diamonds which are useful in industrial processes. Perhaps take a look at the leftover carbon under a microscope to see if your process achieves this as a byproduct.

Ofc some baffles is nice to direct the carbon somehow, but this reminds me of this Alfa Laval separator at my place. Its basically a spinning bowl with a water trap that will form a water ring when it spins. Oil cannot go past the water due to massive G forces favouring water to go outwards instead of oil. Anyways in the bowl is a liner. Just a thin sheet of stainless steel that conforms to the bowl. Other than separate water out of lube oil, it also sediments out particles with that massive G forces. So after a lot of muck has built up at the bowl, you lift the liner out to clean up easier. And the little bit of grime left on the bowl can be wiped with a cloth. Massively reduces manual labour of scraping the bowl clean from the muck. The liner can be brought out to clean in a more ergonomic setting. For parts in the pyrolyzer that doesnt touch the spinning auger thing, maybe have a liner thats just snug, but doesnt need to be welded to the vessel. Ofc, you could weld some baffles and walls to the thin liner to redirect the carbon to the hole. Thin sheet welding so might be challenging. So for a few batches, the carbon goes where it needs to, but after several batches, the cover can be removed to bring out the liner for manual cleaning. Reasonably efficient enough operation imo.
@de05096 ай бұрын
Out of topic, but the bearings and balancing of that Alfa Laval is just chefs kiss. The thing takes several minutes to get to a few thousand rpm. And when you turn off, it takes a few minutes too to come to a stop. SKF deep groove ball bearings ftw.

Sir , you don't need that much power , with this set up you need the plastic material to be in constant motion during microwave operation time (burning stage) to get maximum efficiency, after that if the power is not enough you can add more burning power. Instead of Ice you can use a chiller ( cold water ( water cooling system low cost) good job, good project that needs more improvement to be profitable. Note: you can install microwave from the other side this ( one microwave in front of the other ) this way you will hit the plastic material from 2 sides with waves with out the need to rotate the plastic material ( I suggested rotation at the beginning) or every 30° on 1 section you can install 1 microwave this way in 1 section you will hot the plastic material from 3 sides. I like your project ❤ Good luck Hope my suggestions help you to improve your project

Hello Julian, (kindred spirit) I'm currently working on converting abundant duckweed into [scrubbed] CH4 (Methane) anaerobic processes. Meanwhile, I am creating various bio-carbons via pyrolysis in a retrofitted "bake-off" oven. The aim is to streamline processes for incorporation in new housing developments as independent or community-based power stations. My bio-carbons are used for liquid filtration, scrubbers, and soil amelioration... I look forward to your creative developments as a source of further inspiration~

This plastic-to-fuel reactor is genuinely remarkable and impeccably engineered! Congratulations! As for the issue you're having with carbon buildup around the exit hole, have you considered integrating a pneumatic vibrator? Given that compressed air is already part of this project, perhaps attaching a manifold at the required location and running a hose attached to the vibrator to the outer tube where the carbon enters could be beneficial. This method could have the potential to improve the extraction of carbon through the exit tube, thereby enhancing efficiency.

7:15 You will get some transfer. But a compressor is just a vapor pump. You need a cap tube, piston, or thermal expansion valve to create the compression. LNG is created at -260° so this will be a hurdle as well. You might get lucky and the increase in pressure might bring the temperature requirement down.

The only way this can truly be useful is if you use maybe a combination of the carbon / gas by product as a way to recycle heat the device plus some less expensive energy uses such as maybe a Solar panel/ mirrors / Or Fresnel lens heating system or heck Water powered. Overall you would get less energy in the end product running 10 High powered microwaves. But using cheap clever non Grid based heating options plus recycling the fly ash/ gas as a way to reheat would possibly make it worth doing.
@jsprunger62466 ай бұрын
Benefit of the end product though is long term energy storage which is worth investing cheap energy heating options into as a seed.
