FreqWiz discovered 8 months ago- Apparently if you microwave plastic at the correct frequency it breaks down into carbon black (an ash-like raw material) and hydrocarbon gases, which can be burned (natural gas) or condensed into liquid fuel (oil). Sadly if you're hard-up for some petrol you can't just throw your ice cube trays into the micro-wave, there are over 10 million micro-wave frequencies and you need to hit just the right one for any given material for this little miracle to happen. Frank Pringle and Hawk Hogan, of Global Resource Corp, have narrowed down the frequencies to a useful 1,200 that can transform auto waste (tires, plastic, vinyl) into natural gas. Popular Science reports that the first commercial version of the GRC Hawk 10 Recycler, scheduled to start operating in Long Island in February, will turn 10 tons of auto waste into 17 million BTUs of energy every hour in the form of natural gas. On top of producing 18 times more energy than it creates (it will is 956,000 of the 17 million to run), the Hawk Recycler is said to produce zero emissions. Except it is producing micro-waves and fossil fuels to burn, but I guess it is better than all that stuff sitting in a landfill.
