@ifirebird question if i buy a microwave just for this wot will happen if i burn out my microwaves mangnatrum will it just stop or how would it react? cuz i dont like magnetic pulses fired at me if i do this 2 much lol
@SourPussProductions2 Recommend this vid for it! If you can't, then shout it out to your friends, family, and everyone you know. I love to watch my view count go up! FOR SCIENCE!
@TheNiggerXavi We do, in a sense. We half created flamethrowers. Fire is a plasma. With that said, it is extremely difficult to accelerate plasma at all. If we do ever get capable, and usefull plasma weapons, then it probably won't be for another 50-100 years.
@iFirebird im sorry to waste your time. i was replying to a form. figured i just say somthing. But you shouldn't have Learning is half the fun. Thx for talking to me Big Brotha.
The plasma it´s, in few words, it like electricity,..particles of electrons...they are "waves" and
"energy" at the same time... if you want to know what the fuck is this, you need to study quantum phisical, ( and you will finish with more questions than right now) =)
ohh come on now, the plasma escaping the jar is only dangerous when you do this in your house lol... i took my old microwave out into the back yard and set it for 99minutes and lets the plasma escape the jar and just sat back watching the sound it makes is awesome, and do it at night because it looks cooler, the light is so bright you cant look at it without eye protection. melted the roof of the microwave... =(
just put a 1/2 a cup of water in a jar in there (away from the plasma stuff) to keep the magnetron safe. The plasma will just hit the metal case and dissipate.
so for ex an ice cube goes to a liquid if heated then the liquid boils into a gas the the gas is heated up to a plasma but the gas has to be at an extremley high temperature for the plasma to form right ?
@JERKMONKEYYEH I'll be honest with you: I don't know. However, I'm pretty certain that's not how it works. A plasma forms out of the ionization of particular gases; it doesn't just happen with any ol' substance. I think. I'm sure that if I'm wrong someone will correct me.
@iFirebird (simplistically) by definition a plasma is a partially ionised gas. The most common ones we use in labs are argon, but if you can generate ions by some means (such as fire) and keep their rotational states elevated by microwave-induced transitions, then the temperature spikes from collision-induced heat and this will also potentially maintain the ionisation.
Plasmas tend to be hot. Argon plasma in labs is usually between 7 and 10 thousand degrees... no idea about this one though
@iFirebird you are kind of right, it will work with any element at a high enough temp because the electrons will gain enough energy to leave the atom thus creating a cloud of charged particles. but many compounds will decompose first, if not all
@iFirebird any material can be turned into plasma, you just need to supply enough energy to free the electrons from their atoms. Plasma itself is just free floating ions and electrons. The ions are the atoms without their electrons. Very cool, but very ordinary. It is comparable to how energy is added to a solid, it will become liquid, if more is added, it will become a gas, more is added, it will become a plasma. Any substance can exsist in all four states (as far as i'm aware)
@JERKMONKEYYEH If your question is "can you make 'water plasma' the answer is no because water is made up of oxygen and hydrogen which will burn up when the electrons are ripped apart.
If your question is does it take high temperatures to make plasma then it would depend at what pressure you were trying to make it at.
I would think that the radio waves being emitted by the magnetron unit in the microwave would some how ionize the gas in the glass however this would be highly improbable due to the fact that radiowaves are incapiable to ionize a gas. You would need ionizing radiation ie; gamma, x-ray, alpha, beta radiation. However there must be an voltage potental building up between the wood (insulator) and the metal at the top (conducter) and there must be an ionizing electric arc.
it's a highly energetic form of matter, where all electrons were ionized from the atom and thus not longer circling round the atom core I think that's it, correct me if I got it wrong
@JERKMONKEYYEH Ice contains Hydrogen and Oxygen, both wich require very much ionization and high temperature, however if you light a candle in the microwave the gases from the flame has enough ionization and energy to form plasma.
So different substances have different needs to form plasma, there's for instance "plasmatic" Helium and Hydrogen in the core of a sun, giving you the idea of how much energy those two require to form plasma.
@JERKMONKEYYEH plasma is a gas that is so hot the individual atoms get ripped apart into electrons and nuclei. As iFirebird said, it's ionization of gases. Very hot gases. Think "fourth state of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma"
@jaycsin Actually, I did mean to say acrylic. If the plasma stays in your microwave long enough, it will destroy the magnetron (this also happens if the experiment is repeated often). Thus, an acrylic jar melting into a pile of "mush" is far preferable to spending money on a new microwave. That's my take, anyway.
However, if you have money to blow (or you need mo' cool factor), Pyrex would be far superior (especially true if this was an exhibit at a science fair).
You are very informational and u mentioned a fire estinguisher: yay!! I'm too scared to try this in my microwave cause im scared it's gunna break it. Did ur microwave have any damage? Has anyone else tried this, and what has happened to ur microwave?
Or to be simple any aluminumn like metal placed under an upside down pyrex bowl. Heck even with a twist tie. The important part is the pyrex its clear so you can see your plasma ball, and its tuff and can take it for about 30-60 seconds before it shatters.
I think it would be better if you started to realize that those disclaimers telling you to "not try this at home" do especially concern you, if not in particular.
Not sure why I found this video when looking for a way to explain the Bose-Einstein condensate theory to normal humans, but it was a fun find. Much better than the plasma ball I made with grapes. (Yes - grapes.) Thanks for the tutorial, love! It was great.

@ketanovas Nope, not BEC with grapes, plasma. For BEC you need extremely LOW temperatures, so nothing in a microwave would be able to do that. They didn't even have the equipment to prove the theory until the 1990's.

In physics and chemistry, plasma is a gas in which a certain portion of the particles are ionized. The presence of a non-negligible number of charge carriers makes the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic fields. Plasma, therefore, has properties quite unlike those of solids, liquids, or gases and is considered to be a distinct state of matter.
plasma does not have a definite shape or a definite volume unless enclosed in a container; unlike gas, in the influence of a magnetic field, it may form structures such as filaments, beams and double layers. Some common plasmas are flame, lightning, and the Sun.

To make this safer, you could of used pyrex glass (I'm sure you could of gotten one from your physics teacher) and maybe beaker tongs for it. I'm not compaining, I'm just saying how you could been safer.
This is not real plasma. Plasma requires temperatures equal to that of a nuclear explosion or the center of the sun. It is the state of matter when there are such high temperatures that atomic nuclei divide and protons, neutrons, and electrons flow freely. To create plasma, you'd have to split the atom, which is the same as setting off a nuclear warhead. At least that's my chemistry class' definition; you might have a different one.
Not quite. When you're producing a weak plasma, you don't split any atoms. You ionize them, ie, strip off the out shell electrons of the atoms. You can have plasmas that consist purely of ions, or purely of electrons. No need for atom splitting.
Also, your chemistry class definition is kind of misleading. Sure, the temperature of any laboratory plasma can be around 7+ eV (80000+ Kelvin) which indeed exceeds the temperature of the sun, but don't forget the role that specific heat plays. Plasmas generally have very low specific heats, thus low amounts of energy can result in very high plasma temperatures. If that same amount of energy (in this microwave plasma) were applied to, let's say, a cup of water, it would probably just simmer.
Why don't you try reading the offical description? It states very specifically: "Skip to ≈ 3:50 for the actual plasma part. Preceding is the process for preparing the experiment." I'm sure that would have been helpful.
@TheDaggonoth Let me end this. Whether or not people "care" about what I have to say is irrelevant. The discussion we are having -- that I am now ending -- is rooted in your lack of respect for my viewers as well as for me. Let me restate: you should have read the accompanying video information. I have it there for a reason. You obviously did not read the aforementioned text, and therefore any preceding argument you have put forth is nullified. Discussion closed.
Oh, and unless you can somehow construct a steam tube and a turbine with a high efficiency generator, then you better stick to your old power company ;)
Rock? There is no rock in a plasma reactor. The plasma in there is superheated hydrogen. And technically, any plasma created on earth IS terrestrial plasma, but it still remains true plasma. An example would be the Aurora Borealis in the north and lightning. All plasma is is a superheated gas in which the electrons have broken free from their proton hosts. It becomes plasma when a current begins flowing in it, or is induced by making those free electrons move around,as done here by the microwave
Firstly, Plasma consists of free electrons and ionized atomic nuclei. A microwave produces non-ionizing radiation, the kind that heats water by vibrating it, thus the microwave dosnt contain enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms. This means that you cannot produce plasma because the atoms are not ionized. I hope that ansewes your question, JamesB4754. Im in year 7 and better at plasma phisics than you so ha!
@redtec989 Microwaves DO indeed create radiation. My pall got a radiation detector for his cellphone, and he went to microwaves/cell phones and wierless internet boxes. ALL give radiation.
Interesting. But did you consider that this is terrestrial plasma? Do a bit more research. Also, I made this video when I was a freshman in high school. Think about that.
@redtec989 you do realize that half the shit that they teach you in physics can not be reproduced nor can it be put into practice......not only that, you still cant find a theory for gravity.....which i find pretty fucking hilarious....there are a few theories that i have...but i wont go into them...who knows if im right...im not a mathmatician, i major in homeland security
Ok, explain what the chemical reaction is when you put a peeled grape in the microwave? Most magnetons in a microwave are 700 watts. And you dont have to start off with Ionization since you can create Ionization.
yes ur right how ever putting magnets a coil and a extension cable instead of a cup is kind of contradictary. ull end up blowing up the microwave which would be cooler
you are right, nuclea fusion reactors are lined with magnets to repell radioactive fusion plasma matter,and rock, for tempretures of up to 100million degress.
not sure if your entirely accurate on the whole oxygen burning business. a plasma is more or less a cloud of free floating ions, like a sea of protons and electrons too hot to stabilize. oxygen isn't necessary because its not a combustion reaction, if it was then it wouldn't be plasma.
I understand you entirely but it cant be bad cause if you're not fast enough to start the microwave oven the match may die out because of the no oxygen thingy... =)
As to the people asking what this is. Its caused by the microwaves hitting the small particles of carbon in the air from the burning match and the energy getting absorbed by the electrons on them. This causes the electrons on them to jump off the carbon atoms and into the air and disassociate. This causes it to become an electrical gas, which is a plasma. Lightning is also a plasma, as are many other very hot things that glow. A "plasma cutter torch" for example.
Yes it will mess up your microwave. You damage the magnetron. It won't necessarily kill it right away, but you will certainly shorten its lifespan. The plasma is not absorbing the microwaves as its already a plasma so its feeding the voltage back through the magnetron most likely.
is there any place i can find to figure out the logic, or what is really happening here? all you do is kinda show how to make it, not the explanation of why this works
a simple flame is also a plasma by definition, try holding something pointy with a negative charge against a flame, the flame will bend away, this is called an electrostatic wind
I wonder if plasma can withstand open air conditions.
Im also gonna see if you cant cut a small hole in the top of the microwave and make the plasma go up into a beam or something out of the microwave, with a small fire at the top of the beam.
Plasma cutters use electricity to create a superhot "beam". But, Arc welding is much more intense, because of the different facial equipment. Ever seen an arc weld? It's like staring at the sun from 5 miles away pretty much because it will burn your eye pretty dang quick.
i wonder if there is any way of capturing the plasma stuff, and containing it without the microwave having to be on, and what you could then do with pure plasma.
@ifirebird question if i buy a microwave just for this wot will happen if i burn out my microwaves mangnatrum will it just stop or how would it react? cuz i dont like magnetic pulses fired at me if i do this 2 much lol

Rock? There is no rock in a plasma reactor. The plasma in there is superheated hydrogen. And technically, any plasma created on earth IS terrestrial plasma, but it still remains true plasma. An example would be the Aurora Borealis in the north and lightning. All plasma is is a superheated gas in which the electrons have broken free from their proton hosts. It becomes plasma when a current begins flowing in it, or is induced by making those free electrons move around,as done here by the microwave

Firstly, Plasma consists of free electrons and ionized atomic nuclei. A microwave produces non-ionizing radiation, the kind that heats water by vibrating it, thus the microwave dosnt contain enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms. This means that you cannot produce plasma because the atoms are not ionized. I hope that ansewes your question, JamesB4754. Im in year 7 and better at plasma phisics than you so ha!

Ok, explain what the chemical reaction is when you put a peeled grape in the microwave? Most magnetons in a microwave are 700 watts. And you dont have to start off with Ionization since you can create Ionization.

not sure if your entirely accurate on the whole oxygen burning business. a plasma is more or less a cloud of free floating ions, like a sea of protons and electrons too hot to stabilize. oxygen isn't necessary because its not a combustion reaction, if it was then it wouldn't be plasma.
captainplanet999 2 years ago 3
I understand you entirely but it cant be bad cause if you're not fast enough to start the microwave oven the match may die out because of the no oxygen thingy... =)

braken506 2 years ago
As to the people asking what this is. Its caused by the microwaves hitting the small particles of carbon in the air from the burning match and the energy getting absorbed by the electrons on them. This causes the electrons on them to jump off the carbon atoms and into the air and disassociate. This causes it to become an electrical gas, which is a plasma. Lightning is also a plasma, as are many other very hot things that glow. A "plasma cutter torch" for example.

iFirebird 3 years ago
Yes it will mess up your microwave. You damage the magnetron. It won't necessarily kill it right away, but you will certainly shorten its lifespan. The plasma is not absorbing the microwaves as its already a plasma so its feeding the voltage back through the magnetron most likely.

a simple flame is also a plasma by definition, try holding something pointy with a negative charge against a flame, the flame will bend away, this is called an electrostatic wind

I wonder if plasma can withstand open air conditions.
Im also gonna see if you cant cut a small hole in the top of the microwave and make the plasma go up into a beam or something out of the microwave, with a small fire at the top of the beam.

How did you do it without burning the microwave? They use plasma to cut tank armor in to shape.

I think it depends of the kinda of plasma used.
After all, the lasers that can cut metal (in turn), are very different from the lasers used in laser pointers.

Plasma cutters use electricity to create a superhot "beam". But, Arc welding is much more intense, because of the different facial equipment. Ever seen an arc weld? It's like staring at the sun from 5 miles away pretty much because it will burn your eye pretty dang quick.
