Now this is pretty cool. There is a company here in the States that can convert plastic bags, “rubber” insulation, pretty much anything originally made from oil back into oil and combustible gas. All they need is a really big microwave unit that uses 1200 different microwave frequencies.
The microwaves breakdown the hydrocarbons from their current structure back into their original structure, oil. Now, if we can just prevent some major oil conglomerate from buying the technology, and then shelving it.
Here is a small portion of the article:
GRC’s machine is called the Hawk-10. Its smaller incarnations look just like an industrial microwave with bits of machinery attached to it. Larger versions resemble a concrete mixer.
“Anything that has a hydrocarbon base will be affected by our process,” says Jerry Meddick, director of business development at GRC, based in New Jersey. “We release those hydrocarbon molecules from the material and it then becomes gas and oil.”
Whatever does not have a hydrocarbon base is left behind, minus any water it contained as this gets evaporated in the microwave.
