We recently took part in a new @veritasium video on Lithium-ion battery technology at Imperial. We conducted a demonstration of a battery fire. Watch the video here: https://t.co/Iehy5QK0CR

[Imperial College London @imperialcollege]

.@veritasium met our @ImperialMechEng researchers to find out why batteries explode, and how batteries are tested for their safety.

They also visited @ImperialDyson to discuss why we need to design more sustainable energy solutions🔋

I took part in this important documentary on the Grenfell Tower fire, contributing an interview and live fire demonstrations filmed at Imperial College London. I explain the science of building fires, how Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding burns and what we learned fron the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

This film is a necessary reminder of what went wrong and why flammable cladding must never again be allowed on high-rise buildings.

Thank you to the directors and fabulous crew for making this documentary with care and clarity.
