Other than if you have a Mr Fusion you can’t run a car off of solid plastics. But, I assume some additional steps are required to make it usable. The site doesn’t detail the possible uses of the the oil, but generally liquids and solids can be used in different situations. The oil could also be used as lubricant rather than an energy source.
I don't know if most households have enough use for lubricants to be able to consume a quantity equivalent to 80% of the volume of plastics they're disposing of. My door hinges and bike-chains can only be so smooth. Even if it was converting it into usable motor-oil (which I doubt it is) I don't think I could consume that much.
I suppose if it's usable for a kerosine type of lamp maybe, but is it pure enough to not present respiratory issues? And why would I need a kerosine lamp?
Yeah I don’t think it’s the next Nespresso and they probably need to detail the use cases better. But I can see this useful in a machinist shop that might have a lot of waste plastic from packing materials etc.
No chance the FAA lets people use homemade recycled plastic oil in their turbojet engines. Jet turbines are very tolerant of different fuels, but this is a bridge too far.
No way I'm trusting oil made from random household waste plastic as the primary lubricant in my car engine. What are the lubricating properties? What are the breakdown characteristics? High temperature resilience? Presumably it would vary by batch. You are just begging for a seized engine.
