Fun with microwaves! :D

A couple of nights ago, I was really bored so I put a tomato in the microwave and nuked it for a minute to see what would happen. Here are my results:

Twenty seconds: The tomato was beginning to split.
Forty seconds: The tomato burst open, spraying its juicy goodness all over the microwave door.
One minute: The beeper went off, and I opened the door to find that there was a delicious smell (Kinda like pizza) and the tomato had sort of dissolved and was drowning in a pool of its own juice.

I did it again, only I nuked the tomato for forty seconds, but the results were pretty much the same. Then my brother squealed on me, and my dad yelled about the mess and made me clear it up, while I giggled like an idiot because I found the whole thing hilarious.

A couple of days after that, I put a bit of spring onion in the microwave for forty seconds, and when it had finished, there was a horrible oniony smell that made me feel sick, and the onion itself was all floppy and dehydrated.

Has anyone else done something like that before? What did you put in? What happened? And if anyone says their pets, I'll smoosh them. :mad2: :D

I cloned myself.

You know, if you cut up bits of a grape, and put it on tin-foil, and microwave it, you get plasma? True. I'd give you a link, but I don't have one... Oh, but don't try it- after a few minutes it makes the microwave explode.

WATCH BRAINIAC SCIENCE ABUSE!!!!!!


seriously they shove toasters, tins of beans, Gloves filled with propane, and all sorts of stuff in it!


I cannot go near a microwave without twitching.

If you put a cd in the microwave it will explode into flames. Im not joking and Im telling you this so you WONT do it as opposed to vice versa.

I got my chemistry set taken away because I have such violent thoughts.

Cat.

Just kidding, don't smoosh m- OOOOWWWW!!!!

Seriously, though, two fellas I grew up with - brothers Tony and Timmy, (who were nicknamed Search and Destroy) did that when they were very young. However, their babysitter caught them in the nick of time, before they could press "Start".

*meow*

Something about candle wax. Maybe put a match in candle wax and light it and then turn the microwave on. It brings you plasma!

*snip* what the hell is wrong with you?

EDIT: Actually that's funnier than the original post

Ive never put anything in my Microwave, but ive thought about it. I put a micro curry in one time and the packet burst because I put it in for an extra 1 min. Didnt go bang, but it was cool.......

Psy it also works with a toothpick but you need something to keep it anchored down.

Grape plasma

Heres that link to making plasma using grapes and a microwave.

I went to this party last year, for these two dudes birthday, and at some point in the night when I was a bit drunk (well, extremely, but meh.), we took one of the guys barbie sweets that someone got him, poured oxtail soup in the box, some cornflakes, and then put it in the microwave and forgot about it. That was fun. :D

Will it? I've never seen one burst into flames, but I've seen the little crack things splinter through it, which makes it look kinda cool, I suppose.

I now have a sudden urge to play games in the kitchen. :)

Wow I have to try that grape experiment. Who wants to lend me their microwave?

You guys are bad kids! I'm not gonna put anything in the microwave cause my Mom will whip me good.

omfg You had a name change Boo!

Yeah, I don't think it literally explodes, but you do get some nice sparks going across the surface, and it's a quick way and easy way of getting rid of any increminating evidence you may have on a CD.

You seem to know a lot about getting rid of evidence..

I saw it on tv once. There were a load of sparks and then it caught fire. I cant say I've tried it myslef or Im going too but what Im generally saying is its dangerous.

It probably just depends on how long you leave it in. I've only seen it on TV, too, but they only put it in for a few seconds - just enough to ruin the CD. But yeah, it's really dangerous.

You have no idea how deep this goes.

I have a good idea

When me and my sister were little we were playing store or something and we had those like, ID bracelets that parents used to put on their kids, and we put them in the microwave (they're made of stainless steel by the way) and it made them spark and bounce around and stuff, then we got scared and my sister took them out.

Destai stole mine. It actually works, smells like [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] though.

I'll try and make the atom bomb, but not at home.

Grapes explode in the microwave, as dose anything with a high water content. i pout a sock in the microwave once, it stunk really bad, but my sock was warm and dry, I accidentay put pasta in the microwave....in an ice cream container, we had to live at my nans for a week to wait for the fumes to clear.

If you put an egg in the microwave for a long time supposedly it explodes from pressure with enough force to blow open the door. :)

Fill a glass with milk and then put a lightbulb in the top. When you microwave it, the lightbulb glows!

I put Primus Inter pares in the microwave once.

He came out a little jerky.

I thought we weren't EVER mentioning that again...

No, that was the fling in Tuscany...

Tuscany was great *reminisces*

...

...

damnit

Ahhh, microwaves suck. i keep explaining this, ovens are better. but an oven sized microwve....whoa....

my pets

Anyways, that grape plasma thing is AWESOME! Dad says I can try it when we're throwing our microwave out.

I love that grape trick. It turns out, you can do it with multiple grapes. Didn't realize it was so easy to set a microwave on fire, though. My next project is to convince neighborhood kids that our (new) microwave is haunted.

put an un-opened tin of Baked Beans in the microwave and watch the microwave blow.

xD

My brother put an instant soup in the microwave and forgot to add water. It smelled nasty

Lightbulbs glow the coolest colors in the microwave.

Haha, I made a CD catch on fire in the microwave. If you leave it in 10-12 seconds it's okay and makes the pretty cracks. If you leave it in like thirty... it goes FIRE.

I put Hot Pockets in for 2:10 seconds, not 2:00!!!!

Oh so daring.

no, i havent, but my friend gave her pet hampster a bath when she was 6 and she didnt think the hair dryer would dry it so she put it in the microwave. she put it in there for 20 mins and she said it squeeled for 5 mins and the went SPLAT! and so she opened it up and there was hampster guts all over the microwave. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha lol i personally think this is funny.

Marshmallows, they expand REALLY big!

hmmmmm.... i wanna put peanut butter in the microwave....

An oven sized microwave...i can dream...You could fit over 4 bodies in there...

Shut it Alive Man it's our plan! Don't give it away to these underlings!

fill a glove with ice cold water and tie it good and shove it in a microwave hopefully the heat will cause it to turn to vapour inside the glove and microwave blowing it up.

I PUT POT NOODLE IN MY MICROWAVE

OMG! hopefully it wasn't opened

Very bad plan. Human bones have hollow spots, and a tendancy to explode under rapid heating. So you'd need re-enforcement, which you can't do with a microwave heater. Sorry guys.

What a nice topic... :(

ah
shove bones in the microwave

the bones will explode then destroying them.

No, it will only cause air pockets to explode. You'll break chunks that shoot around. Not nearly enough damage to eradicate the bone. For that, I recommend a wood-chipper. If it can turn a tree into sawdust, it should be able to break down a skeleton. Of course, DNA testing being what it is, that is not a perfect solution.

what if the Microwave was Oven sized and could generate more heat in less time?

Best you could hope for is still less than half destroyed. You'd never get rid of the teeth with it. The rib cage, the leg and arm bones, and the spinal column would be most easily destroyed. But teeth are solid, except for hollow spots which are open, anyways. The skull bones are the same. I guess the jaw could be busted.

But there's no way to get ANY kind of microwave generation device to the point where it could hit the 2500 degrees for 2 hours that cremation requires. Besides, you couldn't shield the microwave bulbs with anything strong enough to block the flying bone fragments. Not without that material either blocking or reacting badly to the microwaves themselves.

ermmmmm..... what?

Asbestos!!

People should make little fires in their microwaves, close the door, and then turn it on.
*Don't try this at home, school or work should do just fine.

this thread is DYE-NO-MIGHT!

Haha, that programme is genius :love:

The most fun i've ever had with my microwave was when I put a brick in it :excited:

And they should build microwaves that walk around and stuff. And big ones, ones you could, say, fit 5/6 bodies in...

no time to read replies so i dunno if anyone said this but i put peepes in the microwave ALL THE TIME!!! and i mean all the time, they are everywhere, but no 1 eats em, so in they go and inflate is what they do, then i started stapling a paper cup upside down to a paper plate and putting a peep underneath and thats always fun to watch, especially with the sparks

good way to fill the hours of the day :D

If you don't poke holes in the skin of a potato and put it in the microwave for a while they burst. But patatoes are so basic they aren't that much fun.I heard that twinkes explode though.

Something I found using google.

I searched Microwave experiments and found it.


Amazing stuff and I must try them.

I heard that this guy put a rock in the microwave, and the microwave made a strange noise, and the rock came to life and became self-aware and ate the man.

true story

I put a CD in the microwave once. It was COOOOOL!

cut an orange in half and shove it in, it's like the grape but 3x as big and long.

900 watts of invisible radiation. Haaaaa technology.
