Julian Brown took it upon himself to use his love for the environment and develop a microwave pyrolisis reactor, a device that recycles any type of carbon matter into fuels like natural gas, diesel, and jet fuel.
He started this project without any formal training or knowledge of chemical engineering, and begun his research using google searches.
His device has evolved through 5 generations, and his Mark V prototype has potential to create enough fuel to power a building.
His goal to combat plastic waste in the great pacific garbage patch has had its trials and tribulations, though. He has survived explosions, angry social media comments, and legal troubles in his effort to solve the plastic recycling problem.
We discuss the plastics recycling industry and the lack of corporate adoption of this device, how his product could create an entire industry, and how his perseverance has led him to bring the wonder of science to a new generation of followers on tiktok and youtube.
