From Plastic To Usable Fuel #shorts Link to the full video - https://youtu.be/EwmtXYODwZM If we can’t recycle all of it, why not turn our waste plastic into fuel? In this video, I upgraded my furnace and moved it to a better location. I have also managed to condense the vapor into fuel. I still have upgrades coming as you will see in the video! Follow me as I dip my toes in this topic and perhaps find the best plastic to turn into fuel for diesel or even petrol engines.

Its price and production are dictated by the petrochemical industry and the availability of oil. As oil is a finite natural resource, the most sustainable option would be to reduce crude oil consumption by recycling plastic and recovering as much of the raw material as possible. There are two types of recycling: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical recycling involves sorting, cleaning, and shredding plastic to make pellets, which can then be fashioned into other products. This approach works very well if plastic wastes are sorted according to their chemical composition. Chemical recycling, in contrast, turns the plastic into an energy carrier or feedstock for fuels. There are two different processes by which this can be done: gasification and pyrolysis. Gasification involves heating the waste plastic with air or steam, to produce a valuable industrial gas mixture called “synthesis gas”, or syngas. This can then be used to produce diesel and petrol or burned directly in boilers to generate electricity. In pyrolysis, plastic waste is heated in the absence of oxygen, which produces a mixture of oil similar to crude oil. This can be further refined into transportation fuels. Gasification and pyrolysis are completely different processes to simply incinerating the plastic. The main goal of incineration is simply to destroy the waste, thus keeping it out of the landfill. The heat released from incineration might be used to produce steam to drive a turbine and generate electricity, but this is only a by-product. Gasification and pyrolysis can produce electricity or fuels, and provide more flexible ways of storing energy than incineration. They also have much lower emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides than incineration. Currently, incineration plants are viewed as an alternative energy supply source and a modern way of driving a circular economy, particularly in Japan, South Korea, and China, where land is valuable and energy resources are scarce. In other countries, although waste incineration is common practice, the debate around human health impacts, supply issues, and fuel trade incentives remains unresolved. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Al77W1zwKU

A while ago I found two of these motors at my local recycling yard. I brought them home and thought they would make great restoration videos for you guys. This one I will keep its original white color, the other motor I will restore at a later time and it will be made black. This motor was made in 1974 according to its serial number and has a 6 to 1 reduction gearbox. I suspect this was on a lawnmower or maybe some kind of equipment (duh) I hope you enjoy the video.

Launched in 1908 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the company is based today in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Briggs & Stratton engines are commonly used on lawnmowers, as well as pressure washers, electrical generators, go-karts, and a wide variety of other applications. Their original cast-iron engines were known for their durability, but the company's success was established following the development of lightweight aluminum engines in 1953. The aluminum engine was the perfect solution for the recently invented rotary lawnmower due to its lighter weight and lower cost. The company started in 1908 as an informal partnership between Stephen Foster Briggs and Harold M. Stratton. S.F. Briggs was born in Watertown, South Dakota, and graduated from South Dakota State College ((SDSC) now South Dakota State University) in Brookings in 1907. The idea for his first product came from an upper-level engineering class project at SDSC. This first product was a six-cylinder, two-cycle engine, which Stephen Foster Briggs developed during his engineering courses at South Dakota State. After his graduation, he was eager to produce his engine and enter the rapidly expanding automobile industry. Bill Juneau, a coach at South Dakota State, knew of Briggs' ambition and the entrepreneurial interests of Harold M. Stratton, a successful grain merchant who had a farm next to Juneau's farm, so he introduced the two. In 1922, their fledgling company set a record in the automotive industry, selling the Briggs & Stratton Flyer (the "Red Bug") at record low prices of US$125-$150. Eventually, Briggs and Stratton settled on manufacturing automotive components and small gasoline engines. Briggs purchased an engine patent from A.O. Smith Company and began powering early washing machines and reel mowers as well as many other types of equipment. The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1928. During World War II, Briggs & Stratton produced generators for the war effort. Some pre-war engines were made with aluminum, which helped the company develop its expertise in using this material. This development, along with the post-war growth of 1950s suburbs (and lawns), helped secure Briggs & Stratton's successful growth throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Stephen Briggs went on to purchase Evinrude and Johnson Outboards and start the Outboard Marine Corporation. Frederick P. Stratton Sr. (the son of Harold Stratton) served as Chairman of Briggs & Stratton until his death in 1962 (Harold also died that year). Frederick P. Stratton Jr. served as Chairman until his retirement in 2001. In 1995, Briggs & Stratton sold the automotive component business. The resulting company is Strattec Security Corporation. In 2000, the company acquired its consumer generator business from the Beacon Group and formed Briggs & Stratton Power Products. The Beacon Group had previously purchased the Consumer Products Division of Generac Corporation (now Generac Power Systems) in 1998. In 2005, the company added Simplicity Manufacturing Inc, and Snapper, Inc, to the Briggs & Stratton Power Products line. Murray, Inc, one of its largest customers, collapsed owing to the company's $40 million, and to minimize the loss Briggs & Stratton purchased the name, marketing rights, and product designs of that company. In 2008, Briggs & Stratton announced it would be acquiring the Victa Lawn Care business from GUD Holdings Limited Australia for A$23 million. In 2019, Briggs & Stratton announced they would be closing their engine factory in Murray, Kentucky with production being moved to their Poplar Bluff, Missouri facility. On July 20, 2020, Briggs & Stratton filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. KPS Capital Partners would purchase a majority of the company stake for $550 Million. On September 22, 2020, KPS Capital Partners closed on the acquisition of Briggs and Stratton. This sale waives the $900 million that Briggs owed going into bankruptcy. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95dcVWcHq1g

This is a Robin lawnmower engine I restored a while ago. Sit back, relax and enjoy the video! I am testing out this type of content on the channel. There is one more coming soon. If you like this kind of content on here let me know, and I will post more. Some history in the company and engine. The history of FHI and its companies starts with the Nakajima Aircraft Laboratory, which was founded in 1917. Airplane engines led to smaller-displacement powerplants (such as motorboat engines). In the mid-1950s, a group of companies formed FHI. Its innovative capabilities led to the manufacture of Japan's first jet engine called the "JO-1." The Robin brand first appeared in 1956 with the first of its general-purpose, air-cooled, gasoline engines. Capabilities and capacity grew, and by 1978, one million "EY 18" four-cycle engines had been produced. In 1989, the "EC 10" two-cycle engine reached the one-million-unit threshold. FHI opened the Saitama Plant in 1993, and its annual production rate for Robin engines is approximately one million units. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7rcrg5EkCU
