Julian Brown made a name for himself on social media by claiming to have come up with a process to convert plastic waste into usable fuels, which he's promoted on his Instagram account over the past few years.
However, he became the subject of concern when he shared a video in July 2025, in which he claimed he was "under attack" from unknown sources, after which he vanished from the internet.
We're going to take a look at the background of the internet star ... and see what he had to say prior to his sudden disappearance from social media.
Julian's an Inventor and Entrepreneur
Brown is a self-taught inventor whose videos regarding his usage of microwave pyrolysis have gone viral on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
The process involves using microwave radiation to heat up and break down raw materials into usable products, and the inventor's been focused on creating forms of gasoline and diesel alternatives from plastics.
He's even built a homemade microwave pyrolysis reactor, which he's featured in several of his Instagram and TikTok posts.
In addition to his work as an inventor, Brown founded a natural products company called Jabroma in March 2025, which he's promoted on social media.
He Made Concerning Claims About His Safety in an Instagram Video
Brown's set off alarms with his 1.7 million Instagram followers in July 2025 after he shared a video in which he claimed he was "certainly under attack."

He then asked his fans to keep him in their prayers, as well as to screen-record the video for future reference.
Brown shared another troubling video the month prior, in which he claimed his workshop in Alabama had been circled by a helicopter multiple times.
Brown's Mother Claimed He Was Safe ... But Didn't Say Anything Else
Many of Brown's fans and followers became concerned for his safety after he shared the video, and some voiced their opinions about his supposed disappearance in the post's comments section.
The inventor stayed quiet on social media for nearly a month before his mother, Nia, reached out to Daily Mail and provided an update on her son's well-being.
While Nia claimed her son was "safe," she wasn't willing to give out any more information about the inventor or his whereabouts.
Brown's mother expressed her unwillingness to talk about her son's actions or location was in the "best interest of his security."
