The Evolution

From Backyard to Breakthrough

Five iterations of the reactor, each one solving a critical problem that the previous version revealed.

Mark I Reactor
Mark I

First Microwave Pyrolysis Reactor

The initial proof of concept. This first reactor demonstrated that microwave energy in a vacuum environment could successfully break plastic down into usable hydrocarbon fuel.

Mark III Reactor
Mark III

First Horizontal Reactor + Auger Blade System

The reactor shifted to a horizontal layout, introducing an auger blade mechanism that improved material flow and moved the system closer to continuous operation.

How We Work

Open Science.
Real Results.

Every iteration is built in public, tested independently, and documented transparently. We publish our results and track every dollar.

1

Design & Build | Engineer each iteration to solve the problems discovered in the last.

2

Test & Verify | Independent lab testing of all fuel output. No claims without proof.

3

Publish & Share | All results published openly. Live demos and public documentation.

4

Deploy & Scale | Move from lab to field. Mobile units for real-world impact.

Published Research

All lab results and reactor documentation shared publicly

Built in Public

6M+ global audience following every step of the process

Every Dollar Tracked
