Explosions&Fire

Home chemistry, where we try and investigate the cutting edge of modern explosives science, talk about some of the classics of the energetics field and just generally shitpost. 

Explosions&Fire(1) ran from 2011-2017, with over 90 videos on various chemistry and energetics, before we got 3 community guideline strikes in 2 hours, for putting children in danger (ourselves from 2011) and spam (seriously). 

But we are back! For as long as we can! 
The base for this channel is now trying to be on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExplosionsAndFire/ 
That way, if we have to move elsewhere, we don't lose the community. So check that place out and subscribe there too, you friend.

There's also a rad discord for this channel now! The biggest** (unverified) chemistry discord, it's a great community!! https://discord.gg/VR6Fz9g

Extractions&Ire is the 'second channel' of this me, Tom. Hello. You can subscribe there for more detailed synths of things that wont necessarily blow up at the end of it!
