Welding shaft less Auger blades for plastic to fuel reactor

[@djangogeek]

Caught this live on Instagram yesterday. Keep it up bro!!

Thank you for explaining the advantage of not using a long shaft in the system! 👍🏾

[@GhostMost-j9t]

Still using rebar? Rebar is a made from a very soft metal and will not hold up you need to use stronger metal for your blades

[@SteveDave.]

He might be using rebar because it's cheaper and easier to bend. He does need something better, but for now, it seems like a reasonable opinion.

[@henryprice9493]

Heat treat might fix that.

[@EddieTheH]

The reason there's no shaft is because it's the one original thing in his cancer machine, and he needs it to give him an easy patent to impress investors and keep the grift going. The feed *_isn't_* the problem that needs addressing, no matter what he does with the feed, it's not changing the fact that a cocktail of benzene and styrene is *_not fit for use as fuel_*

[@wuuurmm758]

fun fact: Benzene and styrene are not typically used as fuels for internal combustion engines due to their properties and risks. Benzene is a highly toxic and carcinogenic substance that can cause severe health issues, and its use is strictly regulated. Styrene, while less toxic, is also not suitable as a direct fuel for engines. Instead, styrene is a precursor to polymers and plastics like polystyrene and is not designed for combustion.

[@thaliahall4599]

Benzene was an additive to gasoline to boost octane before the 1950s, then lead was added for awhile until it was found to be hazardous so it was phased out. Surprisingly, benzene was brought back as an additive in several countries including the US but at lower levels, about 1%. Since 2011, the USEPA reduced that level to 0.62%. So gasoline still contains traces of benzene and toluene, ethylbenzene & xylene.

[@wuuurmm758]

@thaliahall4599 benzene usage has been reduced due to health and environmental regulations, other additives like ethanol have been used to boost octane levels. Ethanol, with an octane rating over 100, is a cleaner alternative that can be blended with gasoline to increase its octane rating. Like you said it WAS used to raise octane.

[@BadBoiFX]

@@thaliahall4599Now give an answer without ChatGPT. His concentration of benzene is 30-50x what is legally allowed and we have zero octane ratings or lab analysis for his fuel. It burns dirty and would clog up engines

[@wuuurmm758]

Yeah ​@@thaliahall4599benzene is dangerous. The EPA could end up charging this guy 10s or 100s of thousands for spreading it around like this.

[@tomb9420]

Toluene ,xylene are also reducers use in fiberglass work. Believe it or not Resin for fiberglass is made from petroluem.

[@tomb9420]

I would have gotten a steel pipe and welded some fan blades on. Just me though !😂

[@EddieTheH]

Can't justify making a "rebar bending machine"? A straight log with a hole in one end to anchor the end of the rebar is all you'd need. Heat the metal then roll the log over it.

[@de0509]

Just this "suggestion" is enough for me to conclude you dont know anything about fabrication. If youve ever tried making large curves with heat you would find out the steel cools down too quick making the curve wonky because it bends more easily where its hot and less where the steel has cooled down. And then, if following your idea, the steel would warp as it cools and constrict the log, and getting the thing out would be more effort than its worth. Cmon man, just be honest. You dont do any meaningful fabrication, and here you are trying to pretend to know stuff The ability to speak doesnt make you intelligent indeed

[@EddieTheH]

What did you spend the grant on?

[@GhostMost-j9t]

Should at least temper it first

[@EddieTheH]

You make excuses for not dealing with the styrene/benzene problem because it's uncomfortable, eh!?!!
