Unwise Microwave Experiment
By
Beer bottle in a microwave oven. IT MELTS. No, it’s not very safe. Not for kids! That’s my original oven from 1994 “Unwise Experiments” website, it’s still working fine (but with paint a bit burned.) Whenever you see charred spots in your oven ceiling, you know that someone’s been making plasma balls again. More unwise experiments are on the main site: amasci.com Note: trolls/spammers blocked immediately, zero tolerance

Might this be incentive for some new videos?

> toxic gas
plasma is exactly the same as an electric spark.
Microwave plasma is tiny and brief when compared to what large Tesla Coils can do. Sparks in air produce ozone and nitrogen oxides. If you operate a very large Tesla Coil in a small garage, you can get headaches from breathing the gases for too long.

Thats mental, isnt there a highly toxic gas produced as a side effect of plasma?

Ah okay, just got to the bit where you said how you found this out. =P
November 23rd, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Is that how you discovered you could do this? =P You are completely, completely nuts, and as a consequence of that, an absolute legend.

this is VERY concerning… im not going to watch the rest of it.. very freaky :S

> when he was drunk
To get drunk, you have to melt more than one beer bottle in the microwave.

before he explained how he stated this
i was going to say he did it when he was drunk

> frequency of the glass
Nope. Also it’s a totaly myth that microwave ovens are tuned to water’s frequency. They are actually tuned about 10x lower. Liquid water resonance is up around 20GHz-50GHz dependant on temperature. Microwave ovens are 2.5GHz, and some are even 900MHz.

WOW

the glas got hot enough at one spot so that the molecules in that spot increased their frequency, to a frequency were it got amplified by the microwaves. The frequency of the microwaves and the frequency of the glass got tuned together. Lovley!

you got that right

Open and Drain??!!?!? Buddy, open and DRINK!

People can make out physics to be as geeky as they like, but when you get right down to it we really just love to blow stuff up.

You can tell a lot of unwise experiments have taken place in that microwave

Why not?

did beer bottle died?
November 24th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Sir you are unequivocally insane.
Make more videos.

> microwave is dirty
So is my drillpress. You wouldn’t want to eat off it.
Don’t you have a “garage microwave” for home experimentation? Filled with charred paint and splintered glass? (Buy one for $5 at neighborhood garage sales.)
