Greetings from Ayrshire, Scotland!
The name here is Callum, I'm a mad scientist who occasionally commits acts of mad engineering! I'm a seasoned dabbler with interest in a huge range of subjects from biology to chemistry and physics - I may be a qualified biochemist but I work as an engineer and do everything from Ham Radio to electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry, microscopy (and relatedly, microbiology), programming, and a whole range of IT subjects.
It's fun to dabble!
I recently took an interest in amateur rocketry and I've become intrigued by the prospect of how sustainable water rockets can be (that is, they require little more than compressed air and water to operate; while a regular rocket requires a rocket motor that is a little less easy to replace!).
My goal is to create a low altitude sounding rocket that can be used for taking atmospheric samples from an altitude of a few hundred meters (this is a long-term goal obviously - Rome wasn't built in a day!)
Thats a lie - the real goal is to have fun - collecting atmospheric samples is just a bonus!
