Inventor Julian Brown has developed a solar-powered device that transforms plastic refuse into multiple fuel types through continuous microwave pyrolysis, though he claims the breakthrough has subjected him to surveillance and cyberattacks. Brown reports his system produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, natural gas, and carbon using only sunlight, with testing demonstrating superior performance compared to commercial petroleum products.
The creator alleges unmarked helicopters have circled his residence and suspects federal agencies view his technology as threatening to established interests. Following viral attention to his work, Brown disappeared briefly and later attributed the absence to comprehensive digital intrusions affecting his personal devices and accounts.
Despite perceived threats to his safety, Brown maintains a commitment to distributing the technology publicly, emphasizing environmental benefits beyond fuel production. He characterizes plastic as a hazardous material requiring elimination from ecosystems and positions his reactor as potentially ending pollution from conventional and micro-scale plastic particles.
