Volvo running on plastic.

 

"Dutch designer Gijs Schalkx has retrofitted an old car to run on an unusual fuel source: waste plastic that is turned back into oil. SchalkX'S DIY project, titled The Plastic Car (Is Made of Metal), consists of an old red Volvo with a roof-mounted "de-refinery" that heats plastic to obtain oil for the fuel tank...Schalkx used only his own household recycling to power the car, which he drove for around half a year while making a video of the work,  needing around one kilogram of plastic for every seven kilometres..."
