Microwavable Grape Plasma

[SpagSpengler]

Holy science project!

[Throatjab]

This may have been the first youtube video I ever watched. Classic!

[edman302]

I'm glad I didn't show this to my class

[phantompanic]

But will it blend?

[esgnrjnjgu]

Skip intro:

1:27

[JaceWithTheFace]

u should have one of those twistee cups so the plasma could spin in it lol

[TRANFOGOSO]

Does it is dangerous?

[agostini15times]

Uhh Yeah Dude For Life!!! 2006 for life!

[DualMods]

i just did this and i just saw flashes of fire/ sparks and after 10 seconds i had a glass full of burt smelling smoke. it is a good way to produce smoke but i wouldnt inhale it. im going to show my friends :D

[bakaneko718]

IF YOU DO THIS YOU WILL BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE! SO I AM GOING TO DO IT FOR YOU!!

[sanderson9999]

i assume people have mentioned this, but if we definately shouldnt do this, then why would you do a tutorial/walkthrough? lol so cool though

[luislopez351]

Our Ozone is depleting...we should microwave grapes more :) Global warming=Solved :D lol JK dont take my comment serious...i hate serious people -___-

[DouglasBolden]

lol!!!!! that glass got destroyed and your microwave

[EnvyMy75]

In the future, soldiers will carry bunches of grapes on their ammo belts.

[TeamBreeze7]

Oops. I already did this before watching the video x3!

[MultiPhotovideo]

And you wonder y he us bald.

[ResshinnGeass]

cool!



[Cachicochip]

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY??? I DON'T EVEN

[66jamie99]

Why did they tell me not to do it.... TEMPTED!

[donut33333]

rum and coke is never optional. its mandatory

[GearzVoNKod3]

that looks like a delicious grape...

[thamastachief]

that makes a cool lamp ;D

[coastermania17]

I've tried it with the glass but the glass seems to "drown" the energy

[andrewstartrekmario]

GOSH! I was tired and I stumbled across this vid. and forgot to use my common sence. SORRY!

[derman077]

Ok, NOW I believe in God.

[SleepyMongoose]

@derman077 Why would watching something cool that you can do with science make you believe in god? that just seems stupid.

[derman077]

@SleepyMongoose I was being facetious.

[Invadurr]

How do the grapes make toxic gases?

[andrewstartrekmario]

IDIOT! STORE WHINE/SHAMPAIN/ALCOHOL BEVERAGES SIDEWAYS AO IT DOESN'T SETTLE IN THE BOTTOM!!!!!

[highrapture]

@andrewstartrekmario i'm surprised you know this when you can't spell them hehe

but yes HE IS RRIIIIIGHT xD

[atomicnortherner]

@andrewstartrekmario champagne

[SleepyMongoose]

@andrewstartrekmario Actually the reason why you store wine sideways, is to prevent the cork from drying out and falling into the bottle. It has nothing to do with it settling at the bottom. Also, the only wine that would have issues with particles settling at the bottom are wines that have not had the enzymes filtered out, however here in America almost all wines are filtered like crazy because Americans don't know anything about wine.

[moneycowurmom]

Green, plump, and juicy. Just like gonorrhia. I can't spell it.

[NashvilleKildCountry]

The rum in coke was a nice touch.

[Elekid1]

Wild grape appeared!

Wild grape used Thunderbolt!

[stupidgaga]

Bad...Ass

[rogahiznumba1]

"Green, plump, and juicy" thats what she said, rofl :D

[npr101010]

im eating grapes right now

[Sonicku]

whateverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so fake! stupid collage dumass

[JayMark2049]

@Sonicku Shut up you ignorant fuck. It works I've done that countless of times.

[jedihunter176]

@Sonicku Why are you people so retarded? Why can't you have common sense and be smart?

[Russianprime]

@Sonicku i agree. looks shooped. i can see the pixels and everything.

[jimmayraw]

@Russianprime the mesh on the screen, douche

[ManyDeserts]

@Russianprime Perhaps this is from the poor video quality?

[mzmadmike]

@Russianprime I can see pixels in your post, therefore it is fake.

[MrGuigui015]

@mzmadmike It is not pixel it's juste the microwave, this is not a fake, I tried it ans it work !!!!

[Dreadmantisthe2nd]

@mikeandces

Because he's bald.

[epl0si0n]

can this stuff up your microwave?

[A550RGY]

I'm scareded.

[ethanemcfane]

why cant i throw only the stem away and eat that half of the grape? :(

[omg77787]

his microwave is so disgusting and grosssss

[jaberus2]

Secret to LightSabres.

[MegaRecon117]

this makes me want to eat grapes :)

[wan2shuffle]

Does this mess up your microwave? just wonderin?

[SRB2Pheonix]

"Seriously.. this can probably fuck your shit up" rofl xD

[atsf3780]

u can get a better effect by freezing it then cutting it in half. It makes a bigger ark. almost an explosion! hahahahahaha

[insanecat1]

Amazing!!!

[ijustknifeu]

if you dont cut it in half it explodes

[HelloNewYorkCity]

i love that sound

BWEHHHHHHHHHH

[terorvlad]

mines is 750 and it works. cool

[18622230]

Does it work?

[cr0ttych0p]

hahah its like dont try this at home and everyomes commenting how they are attempting to do it

[stayfanlollipop]

everytime i try and do this, it just makes a tiny spark and then fills the glass with cloudy gas ? what am i doing wrong ?

[AtarahDerek]

I use a red grape, and I wipe off the excess moisture when I cut it the first time. Oh, and I catch the plasma in a glass propped up on chopsticks.

[willizle02]

when he cuts the grape half in half, that is called butterfly cut (for obvious reasons)

[trialfahrer1]

We did this today in chemistry. But also with argon gas which works alot better. But it's so cool

[CarlosCF]

That glass looks like a dildo LOL

[sniperswagger]

fake

[joshhudgin]

@sniperswagger not fake at all. Sometimes you need to try it a couple of times to get it but it does work.

[fatgummybear25]

me my brother did this once, only cutting the grape and puting it in with the tray and it did not mess anything up

[mikenike684]

that was awesome

[Laratigergirl]

holy hell, i just did this and it was EPIC. it's really loud though, in case you're someone like me who is trying not to wake the owner of the microwave (who would most likely object).

[hier0phant]

Diet Coke = poison

[714RIPPER]

What's that? Oh, it's cancer!

[AFNYOAQIS]

ive done it :0

[See33mee]

Oh-Em-Jee, soooo Cool, and so VERY dangerous. Freaking OUTSTANDING kitchen cabinets, fully stocked with all the essentials ;)

[beendiesel34]

1:00 lmfao

[epicpolyphony]

ok, so what is actually happening? Why does this occur?

[Micheal0559]

lol put a glass over it

[dannypantsgm]

Holy shit! That was awesome!

[Odessa45]

yea, I'm gonna do this at work on Monday....hehehe....

[useYOURbrainNOOB]

that's so cool! good video!! :P

[iwishiwereaWeasley]

Wow, that's incredible. I heard about the exploding grape thing the other day and I didn't believe it, so I had to look it up. I'm so glad I did! Awesome! Lol I'm tempted to it myself but I'm afraid I'll burn down my kitchen. Or my whole house.

[NewSurrender17]

i love the part about the hotpockets

[xHeYxThErExCuPcAkEx]

AHHHH THAT WAS AMAZING

[1JPIFF]

Amazing

Looks dangerous

[anko8aug]

if you put 10 you can made atomic bomb

radioactive it will turn all white and bright haha just kidding. convention mirowave don't work.

[ctmexperiment]

1:29

[Xecuter274]

ive done this before but it wasnt that strong

[letitgo315]

"We'll wait til Sam cooks her hot pocket tomorrow." HAHA!

[jeno92]

i love this its so cool

[ixan7418]

i cant wait till some1 puts his grape juice in the micro XD

[puppystomper324]

ur dumb the 2 grape parts make a arc its not the grape themselves stupid

[Duralm]

Nice contradiction.

[puppystomper324]

was that sarcasm? and y dose it have thumbs down its correct XD people on here are dumb not u other people

[zapan250]

n00b, this is not cuz of grape, this is cause of oriented dipole from both side of the cute grappe.

[ixan7418]

so, you want to say that, The microwave is creating a magnetic zone in the grape, causing all this? ok. and uhh. if its not the cause of the grape, why they Won't/Cant use other fruits to recreate this phenomenom???

[zapan250]

microwave concentration is higher on smaller fruit like this one, plus composition of the fruit and % of water can change interact between the arc. this grappe could be an optimized performance of this plasma

[ixan7418]

ah, issue solved!

[REDGYMSHORTS]

a match works better

[jeffbengtson]

ahh, cute grape. ugly grapes wont work.

[Hejzwej]

cute grape is cute

[stinkysnak7]

did the grape die?

[kingdomgeo]

it gone to heaven ahahhaahha

[Regenmond22]

Coool

[treehugger842]

well wait till sam cooks her hot pockets tomorrow omg lol but ive seen this on the food channel but it was still awesome it was cooler with the cup

[tudza]

Radioactive? No, but it *is* a plasma, which is still way cool.

I had a friend in college in nuclear engineering, and they used microwaves with wave guides attached where the doors are to create plasma chambers.

[Fraulinedienstag]

that was amazing :)

[skarrik]

"Let's wait 'til Sam cooks her hot pocket tomorrow."

LOL

[ajc116]

i did that when i was like 6 and i thought it was magic lmao

[bakuganman879]

oh pleasent we'll wait till sam cooks her hotpocket tommorow

[bakuganman879]

i know this

[UberShyGuy]

Hectan: You've killed me! *Melts into goo*

Zelda: Good. *Grinning malevolently*

[lezeik]

friggn geek

[PlasmaAnimation]

PLasma :D

[brantbkr]

sams gonna die lol

[shredordie218]

dats soo fuking cool

[thaisjapi2008]

o.O

[xXKarliRexOsorousXx]

feel bad for sam lol

[kaissertheswift]

I thought fire was a type of plasma, superheated gas ( in proportion to the object) that takes no form and takes no specific space.

[happybirthday654]

fire is plasma.

[kaissertheswift]

Thank you for the clarification. I only had a B or so in Physics.

[SpartanJose777]

I hate it when people say this generates "poisonous gasses." It generates poison, yes, but it's the kind you find in normal city smog. It's not like one whif'll kill ya.

[Randomcivilian]

actually he says toxic gas...but whatev pretty sweet

[SpartanJose777]

Yup... but that means you'll have that Old New York smell in your hot pockets. Small price to pay for streams of plasma, in my opinion.

[SelkitFox]

It generates ozone, which as stated, really is no worse than (And a component of) city pollution. Yes, ozone in itself, is poisonous. Good for the planet, rather bad for you. Good for when you want that "Old Powerstation" flavor to the hotpockets.

[myjeansaretooshort]

But I was under the impression that when a plasma arc was created and captured it could leave ionized gases that could be radioactive to some degree...

Anywho, I believe that if you combine the plasma while it is still trapped in the chamber with organic waste such as paint, oil, and solvents, which, if carefully controlled, SHOULD combine into harmless gases such as carbon dioxide...

Don't take my word for it though... Pretty unreliable sources... (not WIKIPEDIA unreliable though LOL)

[SelkitFox]

Trust me on this one, it takes a -lot- more than the piddly energy levels involved in a microwave to generate even a trivially harmful quantity of isotopic material. We're talking megawatts of energy and metal reactants that then release fun stuff like radon (Which is a reasonable concern in say, a main-network trunk station when you're dealing with bus-bars the size of your leg and enough current to flash-roast a buffalo). Somehow, microwaving solvent strikes me as being less safe. ;)

[myjeansaretooshort]

That makes a lot more sense THNX! : D

[landcruisers4life2]

so whats the worst thing that could happen...

[howtonotbebored]

That wasn't plasma... plasma is a fourth state of matter caused when the electrons in an atom are excited and separate from the atom. The electrons are the plasma. Plasma is usually only formed when large amounts of energy are flowing through a small area, like an electric current (see lightning) or nuclear reaction (see star). What was happening here was merely ionized air (like the Aurora Borealis) which looks similar but behaves in a different manner.

[yuna238]

howtonotbebored you are the first smartest person i have seen that actually understands what plasma is. I've explained so many times that microwaving shit wont create plasmas and yet people are still so oblivious to the fact that they are retarded. Thank god someone like you stands up for a change.

[Steve19891]

then why did my glass shatter the second the microwave turned off

[yuna238]

steave19891 your glass shatter is because of internal pressure and the heat. The glass is like a balloon. What happens when you heat up air? gas particles expand along with the heat it creates pressure causing things to break. The same thing happens to the glass in the microwave. You are trapping gas particles inside the glass and microwaving it is adding heat energy allowing the particles to move and expand to the limit where the glass couldnt handle the pressure from the inside and explosion.

[MikePhoenix85239]

It's not plasma! It's just ionized gas! Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

[coldgreentea]

A gas becomes a plasma when the addition of heat or other energy causes a significant number of atoms to release some or all of their electrons. Those atoms and the resulting electrically charged gas are said to be "ionized." When enough atoms are ionized to significantly affect the electrical characteristics of the gas, it is a plasma.

So yes, this is plasma because the electrical characteristics of the gas are changed, hence the blue ball shape inside the glass...

[jphlfcjphlfc]

lol

[kingkluk]

ummm... that isnt plasma in case anyone DIDNT NOTICE

[yuna238]

lol kingkluk how COULD anyone not notice that its not plasma? Its so fucking obvious plasmas can only exist when there is a lot of energy. Microwave isnt enough to produce plasmas (similar to plasmas) but not. All people are seeing in their microwaves in such experiment is the effect of the microwave magnetron ionizing the air and realigning the air molecules because of the magnetic field the magentron produce.

[ATinyEngineer]

Ooookay, I normally dont add to these things, but "ionizing the air", but you mean gas, is by default a plasma... and as an engineer who uses microwaves to form plasmas, every single day. That is 100% a plasma

[yuna238]

Atiny engineer plasma doesnt form easily. Engineers dont use microwave to form plasmas. All microwave magnetron is doing is generating a magnetic field while heating things up. A microwave does not have enough energy to form plasma's. Think for god sakes. If microwave can generate such thing then manufacturers would stop making microwaves as it deems dangerous weapons and chemistry class would start teaching using microwaves which is not the fucking case.

[yuna238]

tinyengineer before you question my term of air and gas do the research of the term air and gas on the web. Air is the same thing as gas. Gas is just a singular definition. Air is plural in this case. The matter inside the microwave is air and air is a mixture of gases of oxygen and nitrogen. So its not called gas its called air.

[ATinyEngineer]

I question your term of "Air" cause it is not air that is forming the plasma... if you notice, the grape catches fire, it is the fumes that ionize and for the plasma. You are saying science terms, but not science things.

[yuna238]

All these people are doing is microwaving air and knocking electrons off the shells of the atom and the microwave's magnetron is aligning these ions in way around a magnetic filed that is why you see an arc. Ever seen a metal fork or aluminum inside a microwave? that is the same thing as this and all those stupid microwave experiment. Microwave simple does not have energy to produce plasma. Jeesh if all these experiments is deemed plasma we woundnt need fucking guns.

[Steve19891]

yes i know, but the person that i replied to said that it was just like creating the northern lights, ive melted thick plastic with this stuff, i didnt know the northern lights were destructive

[yuna238]

the northern lights are not destructive what is destructive is the microwave and the particles reacting to the blast of the electrons it receives from the magnetron of the microwave. Microwave is like a giant magnet that re-arranges particles due to the magnetic field of the magnetron and the the toothpick acts like a gun. It aims at the glass creating a focal point which concentrates energy on one point and explosion happens.

[Steve19891]

cool cool, im not arguing with u just curious....i didnt have a toothpick? im not sure what u mean by that, is it the same reaction when microwaving a flame?

[yuna238]

Must be a typo steve. Its a similar reaction when a flame is in place. It doesnt matter if its a flame, grape, etc.. because the microwave isnt microwaving the object because its not food, flame or toothpick wont cook (except cause fire and explosions).

[2pointOhProductions]

Must...fuck my shit up with this...

[ntrpfgs]

What the..

[dimwitsband]

0_0 OMG THAT IS SO FREAKING AWSOME!!!

[HungAzn]

We'll wait til sam cooks her hot pockets.

HAHAHAH

[mrscullen89]

this is animal cruelty

[RubADubDub321]

works, i did it with a bunch of friends. SO COOL

[norrisrambo]

You should get someone to eat one afterwards.

[lex91793]

lol Nice warnings in the middle.

But that was seriously cool!

[WierdVampire666]

try microwaving a lychee! its fun to feed to annoying brother / sister.

[katelyn1241]

yo that is siiick!!!! wat kinda gas does it make?

[c64kid]

itas not often that i see 1000watt microwaves in the shops theyre usually around the 800watt mark

[Haelstrome]

i don't know, but our microwave at home is 1200w. Almost all foods' standards are for 1000w microwaves, so I would have to assume that's the average.

[mjjuna]

that was cool, does it work with raisins?

[c64kid]

avarage microwave at least 1000watts?

1000 watts is more like industrial

[Kaneturok]

its kind of hot and you wont burn your house down

[DeRose1313]

How hot do you think that plasma is?

[tar92992]

plasma is the state of matter after gas. its very hot but the heat goes away quickly once the plasma dissipates
