Just for the record this is my foundry! <3
 

Welcome to Explosions 101


Hey there fellow blog readers my name is Michael and during this blog I will be showing you some of my homemade experiments and as you can already guess the majority of such experiments will be explosions. Some of you may ask, Why make a blog about explosions? My answer to you is why isn't every blog about explosions? To me explosions are the most beautiful thing in the world and I love to share that with everyone and what better way to show the world than in a blog? Ever since I was a young member of the human race I was obsessed with science I come from a family of scientists so I basically grew up with it. Science is all around us and when I was little my family always gave me the scientific definition of what I was looking at. But that only happens at family reunions because both of my parents are in the film industry my father is a writer, producer, and director and my mother is a location scout who previously worked for the TV series Burn Notice. But even being non profession scientists they still taught me the basics of the universe. Now setting that aside, most of my experiments involve heat because being a future material engineer I work with foundries which are basically ovens on steroids. My foundry goes up to 2500 Fahrenheit and I have successfully melted iron, but mostly I melt aluminum since it’s so easy to work with. By Friday I will have my first experiment ready for this blog and ill tell you the science behind it incase your curious. Hope you enjoy this blog my fellow classmates!
