Never trust a blow-torch video as proof of fire resistance. It is typically the only way out of products that cannot pass the required standard tests imposed by fire safety regulations.

The incomparable Rory Hadden strikes again!!! 🙌 🌈

Hey ⁦ALASTAIR CAMPBELL⁩ and ⁦Rory Stewart⁩, given that James Gillespie’s is an exceptionally good STATE school, this is all about dodgy, wouldn’t you agree?

Royal Institution Mark Miodownik Looks like maybe a bit too much gas? It should be possible to observe a very well defined flame front. This is a slo mo video.

We welcomed new cohorts of MSc students on the IMFSE and Fire Engineering Science programmes yesterday. Here they are with Prof. Rory Hadden and the statue of James Braidwood. 🔥

Celebrating 50 years of #FireEngineering at Edinburgh!!

#Fire50

Fire tornado demo! 🌪️🔥 Ignition: with a flame and a spin, not much happens. Twist: adding a mesh around it changes the game! 🔥 Transformation: a spin suddenly turns the flame into a fire tornado! Key: the airflow creates that spectacular spiral of flames. #Fire50

Check out this demo of a rocket engine! 🔥🚀 👨‍🚀 Setup: a tube of plastic (polymethyl methacrylate). Action: flowing oxygen through the tube sets the stage for combustion. Ignition: watch as we light it from the bottom and see the flames shoot out! #Fire50 #WorldSpaceWeek

It’s the last day of our fire engineering 50th anniversary celebrations! 🔥 Thanks for joining us to find out how #FireEngineering impacts our lives. For this last experiment, we have a fuel-air co-flow burner. Watch the shape of the flame when the airflow is changed. #Fire50
