shocked

The technological independence and know how
In the east is breathtaking. Some said it is the home of craftsmen with engineers hearts.

If I were a president, I will unleash upon the nation, the incredible scientific, technological, and entrepreneurship potentials of the East.

Needless to say, every region in the country possess tremendous and diverse abilities. It requires only a cohesive force to make Nigeria one of the greatest countries on earth.

Nice one. But this is not a new invention na.

Pyrolysis vessel was my final project back in 2017

You may spit out your intestines on any intellectual output of the Black since you are a fellow Black, may be out of complex. This invention may not be fanciful at this stage, but it is a true invention.

Nylon are essentially hydrocarbons and therefore have the potentials of giving out energy. Whichever gymnastics the dude might have played in successfully converting the energy into use is highly commendable and deserve attention of the public.

Note, fuel is not just about petrol and diesel. Even firewoods, clothes and any material that can burn on its own giving out heat is fuel. So shut up if you can't praise him.

I, personally don't subscribe to fantasies and foolishness borne out of ignorance. You may check my post on that crapy nonsense that "generates" electricity from water.
Generating electricity from water as fuel for generator is crappy nonsense though.

When he figures out how to produce heat with less fuel, then he can come back on social media to claim support for a real invention...more efficient energy production. For now, he should stop claiming (or others should stop claiming on his behalf) that he has invented something. And it's not about skin colour. It's about making false claims instead of doing the real research. A plastic pyrolysis machine like this will be a 12th grade science project in the US...and it will be more attractively built too.
I am telling you, I and my colleagues at Jet club at Ibadan built this while we were in ss3 and that was 2014.
I don't know what this people are making noise about

This so called "invention" has been on since time immemorial. Nigerians exagerrate things alot. You call an outdated high school physics an invention lol

This among others, I have seen dreams died many times among Nigerians because of lacadastical attitude of the government.
If this is to be china or so, dey will simply improve on this idea and it becomes the next big tin .

Simplyleo:

Water in the form of steam must have been heated up, and something must be producing the heat, so ultimately, the source of the heat is the actual source of the energy, water is just used as the medium for the energy transfer.

Again, water falling from a height on a turbine blade to drive the turbine actually possesses some potential energy which is converted to kinetic energy as it falls, and this energy drives the turbine. Now, if stones fall from a height on the blade, it can as well drive the turbine. So it is not as if the water itself has some energy for propelling the blade.

But water, as a chemical has no energy to fuel any machine contrary to what that "invention" was trying to make us believe.

Photos Of Machine Invented By Unizik Student That Can convert Pure Water Nylon to fuel

A just graduated student of  Chemical Engineering Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Anthony Obikwelu, has stunned the science world after he developed and manufactured a machine that can convert plastic and other waste materials into fuel.

Below is the detailed inscription on what the machine is all about. He writes,

This machine produces petroleum based fuel (closely diesel) from thermal pyrolysis of waste plastics.

Pyrolysis is the process of heating organic material at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. Since no oxygen is present, the organic material does not combust. Instead, the chemical compounds that make up the material decompose into combustible gases and char. The produced gases is condensed to give a liquid fuel.

Pyrolysis presents an opportunity to manufacture low- carbon liquid fuels and decrease the emissions of the industry. These fuels are also compatible with our existing transportation infrastructure which eliminates the need to introduce costly new infrastructure. Complete pyrolysis of organic matter usually leaves a solid residue that consists mostly of elemental carbon; the process is then called carbonization.

As we all know, Plastic goods and packaging and the inevitable plastic waste resulting from them are found all over the world. Plastic is a relatively cheap, durable and versatile material. However, as waste it constitutes a sizeable percentage of the litter we see every day in public places. It is also non-biodegradable; presents risks to human health and the environment; and some types are difficult to re-use and/or recycle. Almost 100 million tons per annum are produced every day. So the process of pyrolysis of plastics is attempted to reduce the waste plastics and to find a source for alternative fuel.

This is really quite an invention as it solves the problem of cost of mining oil. It would help reduce the emiison of harmful waste matters into the air which affects our ozone layer. It will prevent issues of oil spilliage and ocean pollution. It'll also create direct and indirect employment as plastics and other waste materials would be sourced for, thereby creating an avenue through which people can earn a living.

Right now, the only hindrance to this machine is that it needs funding from the government, so it can be developed into a large scale model where millions of litres of oil can be produced daily. He can be contacted via email on Tonytopaz1@gmail.com or Facebook with the name Anthony Obikwelu.

Nice.
But how does he take care of the methane release during pyrolysis of the plastics? I don't see any device that extract the methane. In large prod, this is a disaster waiting to happen.
Whats the source of the heat?
Should have made the machine look nice.
