The secret ingredient is gunpowder

you can tell the leadership was like "oh we better buy them appropriate clothing for this video before the internet notices how awful the work conditions are" - workers looking fresh as F

I grew 3 coconut trees in my yard. I learned from my Jamaican neighbor. He told me he dont grow nothing on his property he can't eat/benefit from.

Coconut is the tree of life. From the husk, shell, meat and water are all used to various products aside from food. During World War II coconut water was processed and used as dextrose. The leaves are woven to make fan, bags, basket and wrap rice delicacies. The thin stick of the leaves are made into broom while the branches are made into rope. There are more uses for whole coconut tree.

The secret powder is TAPIOCA FLOUR/POWDER. How do I know? Let's say I run similar business.

We don't even pulverize them here. Simply use it as brickets.

Charcoal is a HUGE commodity in Africa so much so that their Rainforests/Jungles are being cut for the sole purpose of making charcoal. Seeing an environmentally sound charcoal like this is promising.

Turn coconut husk into cocopeat. Great value added product which even will increase farm/gardening yield

I'm from the tropic. My granny used the charcoal to cook. Secrets ingredient? Haah... Its tapioca flour. No secrets there

They end up in hookah bars 😂

Hell yea, this adds even more versatility to the mighty coconut tree

We do this at home too. We dry and directly use them as firewood instead of turning it into charcoal though.

Secret ingredient : Cassava flour

The rectangular black gew reminded me of the food that the tailies would eat on the show Snowpiercer".

Kingsford brand charcoal began when Henry Ford had leftover wood scraps for making steering wheels and wheels. That's how charcoal briquettes came to be.

Man that machine must’ve had some taco bell 👁🫦👁

I’d love to know what flavors these give the food it’s definitely an interesting concept of reusing what you already got a lot of.

We use every part of the coconut fruit and tree in the Caribbean. The fruit is used for milk, to make oil, drink the water. The shell and husk is use for fire to cook. The leaves are used to make broom, or roof and the large veins on the branches are use to make fire or can be used as wood to make small huts or fences. When the tree gets old and falls, we use it for all the above.

So smart and such a good way to recycle coconut for other resources

Coconut coal. I use this with my Hookah. They could also probably make a liquid mash from the green bits and get Ethanol as well.

They can use it outer shell for cocopeat used in gardening. And use the shell part for making charcoal.

Im so proud of this young man!!!! Africa has very smart innovative people!!!!i hope his formula doesnt get stolen.

Congratulations, you've made charcoal, something that can be made with nearly anything that has carbon in it.

Chemical x and thus the powderpuff girls are born

Bought new orange safety clothes for the video. Awesome 👌

We Black people always coming out with something no matter what language, or what country we are from. We always coming up with something.

I love coconut charcoal. Stuff heats everything well

The secret ingredient is cassava starch And gunpowder

We've been using coconut husk and shells in the Philippines forever. The charcoal made from the shell burns really hot

Charcoal briquettes! Thomas ford did this over a 100 years ago with the scraps made from car production it is good to see that the same process works for other industries even in this day and age

I love seeing industrial equipment in countries with fragile economic conditions. I can't wait to see robotics and future tech in these regions as well.

They have zero waste, meanwhile the us throws away food that is still edible juste because they dont sell it in a week

If you watch the full documentary, the guy also owns a chicken farm so i have reasons to suspect secret ingredient could be chicken poop

Old school charcoal production, a fascinating process that has been used for generations worldwide in different forms

the secret ingredient can be rice flour slurry or boiled rice water....these methods are still found in most of the Indian villages

The secret ingredient is powdered limestone it helps with a more even and efficient burn

Secret Ingredient is River Clay. It is a binder.

It’s always been kinda cool to me how they reuse everything

That's wonderful no waste and making money at the same time.

coconut shell base carbon is also used to filter bad smell, odor n some bacteria in water.

I’m betting the secret ingredient is cornstarch. That’s what they use in regular charcoal.

Coconut charcoal briquettes thats pretty neat

Love this. Coconut charcoal. Nothing goes to waste

Pure ingenuity from the diaspora once again.

This saves the economy in Africa and wherever the coconuts come from

I use coconut fiber called coir as mulch, and coconut fiber scrubbing pads are better than steel wool.

We do this with the left over corn stalks, except the stalks are ground into splitters and some to powder. water is added and pressed into giant sheets, rolled into long cylinders, dried and cut. they look like fire logs and will burn for 12 hours.

The coconut nut is a giant nut If you eat too much, you'll get very fat Now, the coconut nut is a big, big nut But this delicious nut is not a nut It's the coco fruit (it's the coco fruit) Of the coco tree (of the coco tree) From the coco palm family There are so many uses of the coconut tree You can build a big house for the family All you need is to find a coconut man If he cuts the tree, he gets the fruit free It's the coco fruit (it's the coco fruit) Of the coco tree (of the coco tree) From the coco palm family The coconut bark for the kitchen floor If you save some of it, you can build a door Now, the coconut trunk, do not throw this junk If you save some of it, you'll have a second floor The coconut wood is very good It can stand 20 years if you pray it would Now, the coconut root, to tell you the truth You can throw it or use it as firewood The coconut leaves, good shade it gives For the roof, for the walls up against the eaves Now, the coconut fruit, say my relatives Make good cannonballs up against the thieves It's the coco fruit (it's the coco fruit) Of the coco tree (of the coco tree) From the coco palm family The coconut nut is a giant nut If you eat too much, you'll get very fat Now, the coconut nut is a big, big nut But this delicious nut is not a nut It's the coco fruit (it's the coco fruit) Of the coco tree (of the coco tree) From the coco palm family It's the coco fruit (it's the coco fruit) Of the coco tree (of the coco tree) From the coco palm family It's the coco fruit (it's the coco fruit) Of the coco tree (of the coco tree) From the coco palm family Olé!

I love the work overall for the clip

Briquettes can be made from variety of sources. We use lantana, a type of weed that grows here.

My extruder also pushes out slimey rectangular logs but you don't hear me braggin' about it

Didn't mention the use. Coconuts are a premium source for activated carbon. This is used in everything from poison treatments to air filters.

let's not forget how important it is for making planting medium for growing

They could use the heat from burning the husks to boil water and use the steam to make even more energy.

It's a good recycling and greener fuel source for village life

We use the charred shells directly, easier process, and quite efficient ig

Would be nice if every country could easily reuse and control waste products easily

the secret ingrdient can be talc, riceflower or just plain old used oil

*It only takes the labor of 20 people getting paid $2/day FOR A WEEK to concert 2 tonnes of coconut shells into 50 gallons of gas.* Nobody even asks how bad the process is on the environment either lol. Same with electric cars and their batteries.

Ingenious guys.

wow this is amazing no waste of the coconuts I love it wish I can try the charcoal

the secret ingredient is more than likely Dextrin or similar binder , or something similar to wood glue. but my bet is on Dextrin.

Bio char. You can also keep it in its powdered form to use as a form of fertilizer.

You better say what that secret ingredient is, so that both environmentalists can check it out for sustainability, and so that people everywhere can replicate this if it is sustainable.

This makes the charcoal give of less carbon soot. It burns cleaner and longer.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

A good way to use the shells.👍

When I Came Upon This documentary years ago this was about charcoal. I think your title is very misleading because obviously this is charcoal or brick. Either way it's amazing eco-friendly and way better than burning wood or actual charcoal.

BRILLIANT BRO ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

The shells of coconuts turn into a porus "char coal" which adsorbs odours. The coconut charcoal is used to treat flatulence on the gut. Often it is used in deodorising alcohol. The blendeds of alcohols are passed through layers of Coconut charcoal shells and you get smooth whisky /gin in the end. The unteated blends of alcohol are called, "naatu" or, "tharra" in India and the treated alcohols are called premium.

Coconut husks as charcoal neat

They could also make biochar and replenish the soil

My Extruder pushes out slimey rectangular logs every morning as well

The fibers could also be used to make bulding materials I was looking at these bird nests they used grass amd straw mixed with mud. Very close to a cob house.

You could use the coconut husks and shells to also be used as fuel for power plants, then use the byproduct for something else. So you get more use and profit from it.

The forbidden Marshmallows

The secret ingredient is love. Lots of Love

In florida if you park under a coconut palm and a coconut falls on your car and causes a broken windshield insurance won't pay for the repair or other damage because you are considered an idiot for parking there.

Keep it up Africa,I need to see more videos like this. Productive very good.

I'm guessing the secret ingredient is bitumen. It's what is added to charcoal briquettes.

“……. That will need to dry for three or four days…..” Forgets to finish narration, all we’re left with is that burnt coconut shell grounds need to dry for a few days…..

Sad industrial society isn't this earth-friendly

When it came out of the extruder it reminded me of the protein blocks on Snowpiercer

Imagine if they built a small modular reactor, they wouldn't have to pollute by burning coconut shells.

It's too bad they couldn't import it to a cold area where they could use the heat as radiant heat to supply power and warmth then turn it into charcoal bricks.

So glad to learn that they can turn what would have been waste into a much-needed product.

Forbidden Turkish delight

Good use of material!

I could be wrong but I think they make activated charcoal from charred coconut shells

They have to release all the smokes and CO2 init first so it can be greener when you burn ‘em.

That's amazing.didnt know.learned something new.

They’re losing about 40% of the energy using that method. You can make a retort charcoal oven and use the flue gasses to heat the product and even capture excess gasses like mineral spirits.

Africa is growing... good 👍🏻👌👏👏👏👏

That looks like something i would find in a Chinese restaurant

If bro lived in america and wore that orange jumpsuit he'd be drippin

Lord said.. I leave you everything you need too survive

All Asian counties need to do this sooooo easy

No secret anymore. They use starch flour to recombine the coal powder

me deadass thought that some forbiden Tofu

in my country it will be use to make compost fertilizer
