Turn Old Tires Into Diesel Fuel?

June 29, 2007 - 2:42pm — bex

UPDATE: Several commenters below claim that this technology never existed. Also, the man who invented it -- John Pereless -- took money from investors, and never gave them anything in return. I cannot speak to either claim... but I usually urge caution when it comes to products "too good to be true."

Global Resource Corporation has announced their latest invention: a giant microwave that can turn plastics back into oil!

Called the Hawk-10, it uses an array of finely tuned microwaves to precisely break the hydrogen bonds in the long hydrocarbon molecules of solid plastics. This breakdown yields simpler, smaller hydrocarbon chains, such as oil and natural gas.

In their tests, you could grind up one steel-belted tire to yield a gallon of diesel fuel, two pounds of natural gas, two pounds of steel, and a bit of carbon ash. It can easily strip insulation off of wires, leaving scrap metal behind. Its value in the automotive recycling field is obvious... its less obvious if it makes sense to do this for all recycled plastics.

No word yet on the toxicity of the byproducts, but its possible that with a bit of tuning they could alter the molecular structure of the plastics more carefully.

This one is good . . .

I think I'm going to steal it for my blog. Potentially great news.

plastic to oil

Interesting. I'd be really interested to see any figures they have for efficiency of the conversion.
How much energy goes into the microwave compared to what comes out of the product.

If it has a positive net energy, it certainly would be viable on small, local scales. Especially ones with a junk yard and/or landfill around for mining.

yikes... that's negative...

I checked Google... one individual named "John Pereless" was indicted in a $4 million mortgage scheme, and is in jail, I believe.

I don't know if the same John Pereless is behind this company, or if its a coincidence.

John Pereless

That is in fact the same John Pereless involved in the mortgage fraud scandal. I was also mislead and robbed by Mr. Pereless. Him and I spoke very frequently in the past about his involvement in this invention. Lies, Lies, Lies, KEEP AWAY FROM THIS GUY, HE IS BAD NEWS !!!

John Pereless-EcoSmart

I have been reading these comments and I am surprised that the Moderator allows personal attacks that have nothing to do with this invention. I too have dealt with Mr. Pereless and find him to be a Great Businessman and Individual.
In addition I have read through the information posted about him and I think everyone forgets that you are "Innocent" until proven guilty. This is a nice man with a great family and it is disgusting how you allow this type of non-sense.
Also, to set record straight he is not in jail and he will be vindicated on all of the charges against him and I will continue to do business with him through Eco-Smart which is a wonderful invention. You must see the numbers on output and energy costs they are amazing. The system is also Fully-Scalable and Mobile, meaning the Company can go where the Tires are and create Diesel Fuel(OffRoad), Natural Gas, Carbon Ash and High Quality Steel...
Keep Your eye on the ball people and stop the name calling. The Company has not recieved ANY funding from anyone except Founders, so again I urge the moderator to "Fact" Check these postings.

I cannot speak to the truth of any of the anonymous comments to this post... so if you have links with supporting data, I encourage you to share them. If the above commenters are mistaken, and they are angry without just cause, then you have the power to set the record straight.

so...

That link speaks of a person named "John Pereless" who was arrested an indicted in a $4 million mortgage fraud case in New Jersey. I cannot speak to whether this is the same Mr. Pereless behind EcoSmart, but even so in this country you are innocent unless proven guilty.

Nevertheless... I always urge caution when a technology is "too good to be true."

Pereless....

Bex- good that your looking out for people... This guy is truely remarkable. He has been "duping" people around this county for years and will continue to do so until he is put behind bars. I had a very close friend of mine have their house STOLEN by pereless using fake investors doing an equity share for her. Morgan Financial. Really, look at it why do you think HIS bail was the highest at $750K?? Anyone that would take their own mother down (who turned out to be just as much of a slimebag as him) is a real low life. My concern is for anyone that is remotely involved with him. BEWARE, YOU WILL END UP LOSING.... TRUST ME, HE STOLE MY AUNTS HOUSE - AND TOLD HER TO F OFF... A REAL SCUMBAG.

PERELESS.....

HEY JOHN, STOP POSING YOURSELF AS "FRANK GEFFER"... WHY DON'T YOU JUST NAME YOURSELF "JACK RYAN" ANY MORE?? IS IT ACTUALLY POSSIBLE THAT EVEN YOUR IMAGINARY NAME IS EVEN A SCUMBAG?? HOLY SHIT, I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT. WILL YOUR MOTHER BUTTER YOUR BREAD ONCE YOU TWO GET THROWN IN THE SLAMMER?? THAT'S CUTE, MAYBE SHE'LL STROKE YOUR CANE FOR YOU TOO!!! SEE YA' SCUMBAG, ENJOY YOUR CELL.

Same Guy!

I've got the goods on him even long before the mortgage scam - if you only knew about his internet days! When he experiences input in the clink I pop the cork. Buyer beware never more applicable. Here's the latest bullcrap he's pushin from what I was told - www.jobsmyway.com
Johhny - losin your internet touch where it all began for ya as a crap artist circa 96. Concept, site, layout all SUCK but some dumb bastard will buy it.
