Island Couple Turns Plastic Trash Into Fuel
This couple has figured out how to turn plastic trash into fuel. This seems like a gasification method used with plastic to heat them and draw flammable gasses off of them, then cool those gasses into a flammable liquid which can be used to power engines. Very clever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFuTCpCVSbM
