Oil from plastic recycle, the latest invention from Japan

Image
A genius made the ultimate recycling machine. A machine that converts plastic back to oil. The guy thought: why not transform the product back in its original state? The invention can make oil from any plastic. After some treatment the oil can be used for diesel or gasoline. So we can become independent for oil imports that cost us more and more. Plastic is no longer seen as pure trash, but becomes now a source of income. An additional effect is that the environment gets better. Because plastic will no longer be considered as real garbage that can't be recycled. Hopefully, this invention will be a huge success, and will it not be ruined by the oil lobby. Is there still hope for the polluted planet?

Olie uit plastiek recycleren, de nieuwste uitvinding uit Japan

Image
Een genie bedacht de ultieme recyclage machine. Een machine die plastiek verwerkt tot het weer olie wordt. Waarom het product niet terug omvormen in zijn originele staat moet deze man gedacht hebben. De uitvinding kan van gelijk welk plastiek terug olie maken die na wat behandeling kan gebruikt worden om diesel of benzine mee te produceren. Zo zijn we zelfs niet meer afhankelijk van de olie-import die ons meer en meer kost. Twee vliegen in één klap. Plastiek wordt niet meer aanzien als puur vuilnis, waar niets meer mee kan aangevangen worden, maar wordt nu een bron van inkomsten. Een bijkomend effect is dat het milieu hierdoor beter wordt daar plastiek niet meer zal aanzien worden als echt vuilnis die niet meer verwerkt kan worden. Hopelijk wordt deze uitvinding een megasucces en wordt het niet door de olielobby gekelderd. Is er dan toch hoop voor de vervuilde aardbol? 1. Wereldwijd olieverbruik. 2. Prijsontwikkeling van ruwe olie (in dollars per vat). 3...

Nuclear Fusion, the eternal promise as renewable energy?

Image
Fusion is the energy of the sun and the stars, and the largest source of energy in the universe. The ITER fusion reactor that has to rise in Cadarache, France, costs billions of euro's to be paid by a number of countries including Japan and the USA. China is already building its own nuclear fusion reactor. It's a battle between lobbyists for power, money and new techniques because all of the great powers want to protect their energy sources. Will the nuclear fusion the energy source of the future? We will know perhaps until 2050. See on Wikipedia a larger definition of Nuclear Fusion and how it works. Nuclear Power Plant
