A cross post of what I wrote on the PYR subreddit

Peter, You should REALLY contact SYSK and offer to do an interview with them as a follow up on the tech and how its been used around the world. Like for chemical waste destruction, etc.

-------------------------

For those who aren't familiar, SYSK (Stuff You Should Know) is a huge podcast. The show is downloaded more than 1 million times per week and is consistently on the iTunes Top 10 podcast rankings.

On March 13 2021, they did a podcast episode titled "Please Listen To How Plasma Waste Converters Work"

Link to listen: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-stuff-you-should-know-26940277/episode/selects-please-listen-to-how-plasma-79593598/ (41 minutes)

Josh and Chuck discuss the technology and at a high level how it works and its benefits for society and how it really can solve our landfill problems. Cost being the number 1 barrier to entry.

They refer to an article written by Jonathan Strickland which is available to read on howstuffworks.com https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/plasma-converter.htm

This article specifically refers to Pyrogenesis technology and name drops them several times and uses their photos of their equipment.

Josh and Chuck are definately referring to Pyrogenesis technology throughout the podcast.

If you are a shareholder or plan to be one you really should take 40 minutes and listen to this podcast to understand better how their Plasma Waste Converters work and the problems they solve.

Plasma Waste Converters are just 1 business line of 5 PYR has going for it. ONE multi billion dollar business line.

I believe the RNG business line they are newly pursuing will tie into this tech as well as natural gas can be an output from the operation of these systems. Capturing it is essentially a renewable natural gas opportunity.

Some key points mentioned in the article:

1. Plasma Torches are torches that create controlled lightning in a sense, and use super high temperatures (like the surface of the sun) to convert material from solids to liquids, to gas, and then to the 4th state of matter, PLASMA. You get a plasma when you super heat a gas.

2. By superheating material to these temperatures you can break apart the molecular bonds of the materials and separate them into its atomic components. A process called molecular dissociation.

3. The waste output from the systems creates an inert glass from the waste treatment and other materials.

4. Plasma torches can burn waste, landfill garbage, toxic waste, biohazard waste, medical waste.

5. The converters also generate electricity and can literally power themselves and have leftover power to sell back to the grid. It's a garbage processor that generates electricity, usable products from the waste, and natural gas.

6. No fumes, smoke, or hazardous solids, liquids, or gases are released into the atmosphere.

7. They mention how the US Navy has this tech on air craft carriers. Only PYR has this contract. So they are definately referring to PYR's tech even though teh podcast doesnt name drop PYR. The written article by Strickland does.

Incredible tech.
