This is like the stupidest thing ever!


Microwaving grapes is the latest thing people do for an entertaining dazzling light show. .Canadian physicists are recommending that you DON'T try this at home lol they have figured out the science behind it.
It's a crowd pleasing party trick , cut a grape in half pop it in the microwave hit " start" and sit back and be dazzled by the grape balls of fire..Naturally the resulting sparks and balls of light sometimes accompanied by buzzing are popular on U tub--e although researchers are saying its stupid to even try this at home, well doesn't prevent people doing it.The fire isn't actually fire its a state of matter called plasma, that's made up of ions and free electrons.and even though plasma is abundant in stars and fictional space crafts it is not common in homes except inside fluorescent light bulbs...but why grapes?
The answer as near as researchers can tell grapes are mostly made up of water and water bends microwaves and shortens the wavelength because of high refractive index.The single microwave gets trapped inside the grape where it bounces back and forth heating the grape from the inside out, which is opposite of how a microwave heats food normally .putting a glass down over the grape in the microwave also contains the activity when the light show begins...its also helpful to make sure the stem is cut away and the grape is cut in half for a better effect ...

The only thing I ever put in the microwave besides food was back in the late 70's after smoking weed I put a fly in to see what would happen. It blew up and that was that. Not really a cool light show. I guess I will be getting some grapes as soon as it stops snowing lol.

I tried a marshmallow once and it got bigger than a baseball and cooked from the inside out and if you are prepared to clean out sticky goo from yr microwave then its not likely you will do it , messy as hell..lol

We found out long ago that onion slices will do the same thing, and a hard boiled egg, will explode if not cut before you reheat it in a microwave..
