Julian Brown, a 21-year-old self-taught American, became a sensation after creating "Plastoline," a microwave- and solar-powered machine capable of transforming plastic into gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. The project went viral on TikTok and Instagram, attracting millions of views.


Suddenly, however, Julian disappeared from social media on July 9th. In his last alarming video, he said he was "under attack," mentioned helicopters flying over his house, and asked for prayers. He has not posted anything since.


The inventor's mother appeared in a public video to reassure fans: Julian is alive and safe, but is staying away from social media for safety reasons. Atlanta police confirmed that there is no missing person report filed.


Brown's story raises surprising questions: could his eco-innovation upset major fuel industry interests? Meanwhile, his silence fuels speculation, and his achievements are admired online.

Accessible language: (News produced with the help of AI) Julian Brown, the inventor of Plastoline—a solar reactor that utilizes microwaves to convert plastic waste into liquid fuel—gained global prominence following successful tests on homemade prototypes. He participated in the 776 Foundation Climate Fellowship for his proposal on sustainable disposal.


His technology, described as viable and replicable, mobilized scientific and popular support. Institutions such as ASAP Labs tested the fuel and stated that its energy quality was comparable to that of diesel.


In July, Julian displayed signs of public distress: he alleged persecution, a helicopter crashed into his home, and posted a video suggesting a risk to his life. After that, the creator simply disappeared from social media. His mother stated that he is safe but did not mention specific reasons, keeping his whereabouts a mystery. There is no official record of a disappearance.


The case raises central questions: what are the risks in sharing disruptive innovations? Could there be external pressures related to vested economic interests? His absence raises debates about the safety of independent scientists and the ethics of technology sharing. Technical language: (News produced with the help of AI)
