Device Creates Energy, Fuel, and Usable Compost from Trash
If you’ve ever seen the movie Idiocracy, you may have a vague fear of giant landfills toppling over and spilling into the streets. Fortunately, that fear may never become a reality now that the Powermaster ReCyclone is available.
The ReCyclone works by grinding trash into small pieces, thereby reducing landfill space up to 97 percent.
Trash compacted by the ReCyclone can be used to create energy or compost material—organic waste becomes diesel fuel, and plastic becomes oil. The machine can grind up any piece of waste ranging from 20 microns to 12 inches.
For some perspective, the ReCyclone can get more gold out of electronic devices than from a gold mine (one metric ton of circuit boards contains between 80 and 1,500 grams of gold, which is 40 to 800 times the concentration of gold available in gold ore mined in the United States) and 1 kilogram of plastic recycled in the machine can yield 95 percent of 1 liter of diesel.

Essentially, the machine gives any piece of trash the chance for a second life as a renewable resource.
Possible uses for the technology are seemingly endless. Not only can the ReCyclone create space in already overcrowded landfills, but it can also reduce industrial waste from factories and help out in disaster relief efforts by reducing debris.

If I bought one of these, could I get the rights to dig up existing landfills, and would it pay? The throw-away society was born out of necessity, but can we afford it without recycling our landfills?

From what I understand, what it means is this. Gold doesn’t exist as 100% gold in a Gold Mine. May be each ton of earth gives you 10 grams of gold after purification. But, circuit boards give you 40 grams per ton. It’s like purification of crude oil to give gasoline I guess.
Ok you guys are above average scientific knowledge guys right? SO let me ask a question. You would have obviously seen n heard about water4gas right? And who wants to believe this stuff right? But apparently over 40,000 units are sold every year right? I saw this website that I linked above which talks about the science of this technology. They show research done by the US Air Force, MIT etc. etc. From what I understood, addition of hydrogen to gasoline, increases combustion so the promised mileage boost from water4gas. Don’t ask me why they call the website a scam, but this is the most scientific website I’ve seen on this topic. They give proof from atleast 20 sources for the hydrogen enhanced gasoline combustion model. Check it out anyways on http://www.water4gas-scam.com/ why bother with garbage processing when hydrogen from water will do the trick?
Not sure I feel comfortable in believing this one.
How much does this thing cost? And is it ready for sale now, or is it still in development?

You know, in simcity these things always produced lots of pollution.

I would not use that “compost” without some serious testing.
sooo… if it grinds everything down into bitty pieces, what about all the lovely heavy metals? lead and diaper puree; yummy.
how do you covert this into electricity?
Can you even?
