-How to Pyrolysis-
The video below shows a series of experiments I carried out with the chemical reaction known as pyrolysis. Pyrolysis can be used to break down carbon based materials (wood, grass clippings, manure etc...) into simple compounds. Pyro is Greek for "Fire" while Lysis is Greek for "Separating". To perform pyrolysis the material must be burnt in a zero oxygen enviroment to halt combustion. As the material breaks done it gasifies allowing you to collect these gases. Once collected the gases can be condensed into liquid fuels of different fractions in a process known as 'fractional distillation'. Fractional distillation is the process that fuel for your car is created.
