About Us

We're a small chemistry group based in Rainham, Kent.

Through systematic experimentation, we aim to investigate the nature of fire and the combustion process of highly flammable liquid fuels.

Our goal is to conduct a series of exhilarating scientific investigations. We'll record our observations and the data we collect in order to test our hypotheses.

Once we've gained sufficient experience and expertise, we plan to study combustible gases before very cautiously experimenting with explosive powders.

"It's not getting out of control — it's just getting started!"

A Note to the Police

The activities of this chemistry club are conducted solely for educational and experimental purposes.

Our scientific investigations are carried out on a small scale within legal limits as required under The Explosives Regulations 2014 and in full compliance with The Petroleum (Consolidation) Regulations 2014.

No risk is posed to any person, animal, or property in the local community or the wider society.
