Thank you to Allie Nash, Nat Davis and Mariya Sankinova for making this case study possible. Without your help, this wouldn't have been possible.
== Introduction ==
Chemistry is a complex field. The chemists that practice it are highly sought out for the creation of many healing substances, reagents and toxins daily that drains the chemicals dispenser (chem-dispenser) rapidly of it's energy. To counteract this and seek to prevent it, this study intends to examine common household items that can be ground up within a blender to produce chemicals that can be used to compliment (or substitute) the use of a chem-dispenser. The findings have shown a limited range of chemicals that can be extracted from common household items, and usually tend to be impure. With the combined use of a distillery, these can be purified and used instead of the energy of a chem-dispenser.
== Method and Material ==
All non-living items that could be gathered was taken to a All-In-One-Grinder (XXXX-XXXX, USA) and attempted to be placed within. Those that could be fit within was grounded and the contents of the All-In-One-Grinder was examined with the inbuilt program. Afterwards, the data was written down and presented in this study. 
== Results ==
Certain categories of items, including appearal (uniforms, hats, shoes, misc.), ammunition (live casings, stripper clips, magazines, ammunition boxes), tools (wrench, welding tool, screwdriver), crafting material (glue, weapon assembly, lunchbox), weaponry (.308 Hunting Rifle, Double Barrel Shotgun, 10mm Pistol) was found to not be capable of being ground within the Grinder.
The items found to be ground, and their resulting chemicals, are:

== Discussion ==
Out of all the items that were ground, it was found that tiny items had the highest chance of having chemicals that could be extracted from the solid. Out of the items that were tested, it was discovered that the following categories could not be ground:
* Weaponry
* Appearal
* Containers
* Crafting materials
* Tools
* Ammunitions (ballistic)
From the items that were found, the following reactions could be performed easily without access to a distillery:
Kelotane - Blend 1 Wooden Plank and 1 Glass Sheet. Will result in 40u Kelotane.
Mute Toxin - Blend 1 Uranium Sheet, add 10u of Water, blend 1 Wooden Plank. Results in 30u Mute Toxin.
Synthflesh - Blend 1 Brute Patch, 1 Wooden Plank, and drain 20u of Blood from yourself. Results in 60u Synthflesh.
Space Drugs - Blend 1 Power Cell, 3 Analyzers, and pour in 15u of Sugar from a sugar container (or other sources. Drink dispensers work as well) into the container. Results in 45u Space Drugs, 20u Silicon, 20u Iron (for a total of 85u). Important: Ensure that the reaction is complete with a blender, distillery or that you use proper measurements, or else you may cause mercury poisoning, which will suffocate your brain. 
Carpet - Do the previous reaction, and add 15u of your own blood. Results in 30u Carpet, 30u Space Drugs, 20u Silicon, 20u Iron (for a total of 100u).
Napalm - Blend 1 Zippo Lighter, 1 Spray can. Results in 10u Napalm, 1u Ethanol, 13u Welding Fuel, 16u Hooch, 1u Iron (for a total of 41u).
There may be more areas to gather special chemicals from that's not mentioned within this study. An example would be Welding Fuel from Fuel Barrels, found around the region with a clear flammable warning sign.
