⚡️21-year-old Inventor of Plastoline Fears for His Safety

Julian Brown is the 21-year-old backyard inventor of Plastoline. Starting in his backyard, he created an end-to-end process that turns plastic into fuel.

Back in July, Julian released a video saying he was under attack, that odd things were happening, and he asked viewers to pray for him. Shortly after, Julian went silent.

It turns out, he had gone into hiding—scared for his safety.

The process that Julian and others use is called depolymerization. It typically uses heat, pressure, and catalysts—and it’s not new.

Today there are many companies that are taking on the mission of turning plastics into fuel.

And somehow, a 21-year-old with nothing but a microwave reactor and raw determination is showing the world what’s possible—and it’s incredibly inspiring.

What would you create if you had zero funding but unlimited time and curiosity?
