Fun with Microwaves

[Checkviller]

One does not walk into Mordor.

lol

Are there any microwaves left? If so, every other week you should do a Will It Nuke video for Whatever. Take suggestions and what not.

or perhaps a random bonus video of something awesome you think of to microwave

i really laughed hard when you opened the door to put the x-mas lights with the marshmallows, i thought you were taking out the marshmallows but no, whoopsie daisy the x-mas lights go in.

lol and they went on

i tought they'd stop it before the microwave window would explode.
but indeed
nooooo whoopsie daisy xmas lights in it XD

[AlexanderDitto]

I do marshmallows all the time. They're delicious when they're gooey and warm. And they expand to giant sizes!

I actually felt sad about the Furby... does that means I have a problem? It looked so sad when you put it in there, like it knew its last seconds were upon it.

The plasma globe was really cool, it sounded like it was reaching critical mass right before it burst into flames.

While the x-mas lights on the giant mass of marshmallows was the best, the plasma ball was wicked cool looking. Bursting into fire is always awesome.

Now all we need is a man sized microwave, and clothes made out of steel wool!

Now THAT would be cool.

Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic waves. Some molecules such as water molecules are polar, one end of the molecule has a negative charge and other has a positive charge similar to how a magnet has north and south poles. These molecules try to align them selves to the changing electromagnetic field causing them to rotate rapidly, heating them up. In conductors such as metals the changing electromagnetic field can cause voltage differences across a material which causes a current to flow, heating the material. The voltage differences can also cause arcing when the resulting electric field is sufficient to break down air turning it from an insulating gas to a conducting plasma.

The waves used by most microwaves have a wavelength of 12 cm. The front window of the microwave is made up of many small holes each less than a few millimeters across so visible light (which have wavelengths millions of times shorter than a meter) can escape the microwave so you make sure your dinner does not explode while preventing the microwaves from escaping.

Although people often talk about 'nuking' their food microwaves have nothing to do with nuclear processes and as such Geiger counters are unnecessary.

Can I be the official LoadingReadyRun physics and astronomy science adviser?

So there isn't really any risk of sitting in front of a microwave and cooking yourself?

[wilson_x1999]

Whoa, that was seriously awesome.

You need to do more Sheer Stupidity videos XD I missed them!

No, I do not think microwaves would still be sold if the were a health risk just by standing by them. Even so I do not suggest placing your primary sexual organs in close proximity to the microwave.

yes you can XD

[Dutch guy]

This video is AWESOME. I really like the christmas lights on a snowy landscape of marsmellows

You guys should DEFINETLY do more sheer stupidity video's

[rootbeerbaby]

marshmallows + christmas lights + microwaves + LRR = WINNER! WINNER WINNER!

lol

And instead of me posting moar:

So about that hazmat suit in the beginning...

[Radical Ans]

Did anyone else think that Paul bears a striking resemblance to the furby? Especially when he opens his eyes wide right before putting it in.

[Cake]

I honestly, kept worrying for you guys safety but now that nowthing blew up an hit you in the eyes, that was a fun video.

[Yukikaze]

I was hoping you'd throw the Furby back in after you hosed it off.


Also, the Tesla ball rocked, even though it got destroyed in the process.


Did you make microwave guns with the microwaves, afterwards?

[Beta-guy]

2 things...


first time Ever with 0 views!

and why didn't you do the classic CD's lighting up? BTW I loved that flood light where it appear to have the metal disintegrate but came out perfect...

[Keith K]

Awesome! That quantum light bulb blew my mind.

I think whatever you decide to the christmas special on at the end of the year, it should be sprinkled with intermittent shots of sparkling christmas lights in the microwave.

[AeroCmdr]

That was freakin' awesome. I would have liked to see some eggs though. They asplode.

[WaffleIronMan]

The Lights! The Lights! AHHHH!!!!!!
I've tried a few of these and you forgot to do:
-an egg
-distilled water
-tin foil
-a FM radio
-Disco globe
-laser pointer

but I've never tried a plasma globe. Awesome!!

[Alja-Markir]

Who was in the yellow body suit with the (I'm guessing) geiger counter?

Edit: Further, can we get a version with more of the audio of you guys reacting to stuff? Possibly also things that didn't make it into this cut due to (again I'm guessing) being mildly less interesting?
