@bastian74 magnetrons are already coherent! But usually "maser" refers to wavelengths more than 20x shorter than the 2GHz oven magnetrons. You'd have to build a tube that's 20x smaller than the ones used in ovens.
To form a beam at 2GHz, you'd need a plastic lens or a dish antenna well over a meter in diameter. But if you had a KW output at 1cm instead of 20cm wavelength, then your parabolic dish can also be 20x smaller.
Dude; when checking something for hot use the back of your finger/hand. That way if U blister it, it doesn't get in the way of work Is that a garage sale or thrift store microwave? That thing is nasty inside, or U bother cleaning out the remains of past experiments.
Nah, you don't burn yourself unless you touch the white-hot melted part. (I picked up that wineglass just fine.) The beer bottle had a tiny bit of liquid which heated the glass to perhaps ~70C. No gloves needed, no blisters, just slightly too hot to comfortably lift. Similar to touching hot pizza crust to see if it's cool enough to pick up.
the way I think makes it seem quite obvious. Im glad you explained why you did this experiment. I would just think that heating up the glass in an area causes the atoms to vibrate at a very high frequency. microwaves speed up the vibrations of particles, the lower the vibration rate the slower it speeds them up. If you set the vibration rate to extremely high and then introduce microwaves, it obviously will cause the already high freq. vibs to go even higher thus the energy to melt (sryranoospc)
@darksinthe nope, molten glass is a known conductor. That's how the big glass manufacturers keep it hot (by passing high amperes through the melt.) We're doing the same here, since the microwaves are creating a large electric current in the melted glass.
But glass at room temp is a good insulator. We can nuke our food inside of glass cookware, and the microwaves go right through.
This experiment doesn't work with silica, which remains insulating when melted
Free energy can change the world!But there are very powerfull forces that want to supress the technology,Find the real deal, a free energy device at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!
Cool video, however now I am wondering if a standard cavity magnetron from a microwave, installed into a shielded crucible, could be used to safely melt larger quantities of glass with a more efficient power consumption than a standard coil heating element used in most modern glass crucibles? I assume that an outside heat source would be needed to start the initial thermal runaway reaction. But would maintaining the heat cause any breakdowns from such a long period of operation?
@jordanclymer I think a magnetron isn't very efficient. Much of the heat would end up with the heatsink fins and blower. Better might be electric current heating by conductive contact. But you'd need expensive platinum electrodes or similar, otherwise the melt gets contaminated from dissolving metal.

@arien617 no its not, glass is still a poor conductor when it is liquid, ive done glass work before, i know what im talking about, glass when liquid will cool faster than lets say copper when it is liquid which is a great conductor. Regaurdless of initial temps or the rate of change. Glass is and always will be a poor conductor of heat and energy, in solid and liquid form.
Do an experiment go order a 3mm rod of glass, heat the rod at the tip and tell me how close u can hold it. <2in. i bet
@snowboarder641 Thermal conductivity is not electrical conductivity. Glass is an ionic conductor, and it's conductivity is proportional to ion mobility, that's why it becomes insulating when solid. Try this: wind two leads of a power cord around a glass rod, and plug in the cord. Support both ends of the rod. Heat the glass between the wires to red, and the rod will glow yellow, then white, then melt in half. Youve just made a lightbulb using glass instead of a tungsten filament.
All glass does this, but you're on the right track.
Quartz (silica) lacks dissolved ions, so it probably silica won't do this. But quartz is not glass. To create glass, we add impurities to quartz, as in Borosilicate Pyrex, soda glass, etc.
Take the nozzle off of the torch,take the microwave outside out of harms way of anyone,stand behind a cement or brick barricade, and put the torch cylinder, a mini household/car fire extinguisher, and an airhorn.
Oh really? cool! :) PLasma in the micro is fun, like cutting a grape to its skin and watching it act like a Jacob's Ladder :) OH the chipbag, classic microwave experiment. Thats still really cool to melt the bottle!
notice how he says 'drain the beer bottle first' then it has a break in the video...i bet you he drank it. now wonder why he's doing this demo XD im just kidding, this is still really cool!
i would not recommend anyone trying this. you are screwing around with the annealing of the bottle. and when you do this the bottle may only break, but it will more than likely explode violently. and if it does and your face is anywhere near it and you dont at least have a pair of safety glasses on,guess what. can anyone say permanent blindness. believe me when i tell you this. i know i work with unannealed bottles every day when i am checking the bottles i make for defects.
Nope. Try it. A bottle with a huge freaking hole in it is not "a bottle," and the distorted glass is so stressed that it almost always shatters. If it doesn't, poke it with a screwdriver first.
i wasnt talking about after the bottle has a hole in it. i was referring to pre heating the bottle with the torch. and as far as the bottle exploding, it is more of a quick pop, but will send shards out when it does. not trying to ruffle your feathers there buddy
Oh, I thought you meant the non-annealed shapes. Definitely hazardous during preheating. It helps to have some lampwork experience. I find that broad sections of thin beer bottles are somewhat forgiving, but haven't tried thicker glass. I've always been paranoid, and torched a wide area for a long time before daring to make that small hotspot. Assume that glass will fly, so do it with goggles, w/bottle deep inside the oven, with observers far back until the door is closed.
basically i was just agreeing with you on the fact that it is kinda dangerous to do, and if you do WEAR SAFETY GLASSES FOLKS. if i hadnt had my safety glasses on at work i would probably be blind by now, but i do have to get pretty close to the bottles when i am inspecting them. very cool video by the way. i had no idea that u could do that .
Microwave plasma is tiny and brief when compared to what large Tesla Coils can do. Sparks in air produce ozone and nitrogen oxides. If you operate a very large Tesla Coil in a small garage, you can get headaches from breathing the gases for too long.
the glas got hot enough at one spot so that the molecules in that spot increased their frequency, to a frequency were it got amplified by the microwaves. The frequency of the microwaves and the frequency of the glass got tuned together. Lovley!
Nope. Also it's a totaly myth that microwave ovens are tuned to water's frequency. They are actually tuned about 10x lower. Liquid water resonance is up around 20GHz-50GHz dependant on temperature. Microwave ovens are 2.5GHz, and some are even 900MHz.
So is my drillpress. You wouldn't want to eat off it.
Don't you have a "garage microwave" for home experimentation? Filled with charred paint and splintered glass? (Buy one for $5 at neighborhood garage sales.)
Micro doesnt work with heat. They work with friction. It just depends, if a material is liquid and its molecular strukture is "movable". Then the microwave moves the molecules around causing friction which adds up the the energy you've added with the burner. Glass is soft. Even if it appears to be hard, it always "flows". Thats why old church windows are thicker on the bottom than on the top.
heat=a difference in temperature where the "hot" object has a higher temperature than what you're comparing it to.
friction=resistance to movement, like when you rub your hands together, its just a change of how the energy involved plays out, friction could make electricity(carpet static), heat and sound(squeeling tires), light and heat(matches), and so on.
no. heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another through thermal contact. also it is known as the amount of thermal energy within a system. thermal energy is a function of temperature and mass (for example, a warm bath has more thermal energy than a lit match, even though the match is hotter.)
Glass in old windows is thicker at the bottom because of the way it is made, not because it is liquid. It is not liquid. The thicker glass is placed at the bottom for strength.
Actually, glass is a super cool liquid, and the thicker glass at the bottom of an old window is due to that fact. I saw it on a documentary about how glass is made. So find evidence before claiming something.
Glass doesn't flow like that, that's an urban legend, well hashed out in physics newsgroups. Go look at Snopes. Glass is not a liquid, it's a "glass," it's a solid without microscopic crystalline order. It doesn't flow significantly in less than many millions of years. Windowpane makers had to orient all the facets the same way, otherwise the prism effect would chop up the view.
Glass is not a liquid, it's an amorphous solids (basically a solid where the molecules can slide along eachother to a degree, somewhat similar to a liquid, but definately not a liquid as it holds more properties in common with a true solid)
The legend about flowing glass was thoroughly debunked. At room temperature the effect on windows takes hundreds of thousands of years to become slightly perceptible. Glass is not a liquid, it's a "glass." Search keywords on "glass transition," and the physics definition of the glass state as opposed to the liquid state.
Glaziers put all the windowpanes facing the same. That keeps the prism effect from chopping up the outdoor scene.
The microwaves have the same frequency as the rotational frequency of water, which will cause the water molecules to spin faster, which show's more energy resulting in greater heat. Any molecule that has a near rotational frequency will also be caused to heat up.
Actually that's a widespread myth. Water absorption peak is around 30GHz.. 900MHz microwave ovens boil water just fine, as do 2.5GHz units. The spectrum for water vapor is very different than for liquid, the liquid lacks the sharp resonance and has only very broad humps. If ovens were tuned to the water, so that water was an extreme absorber at the operating frequency, then only the surface of meat would be heated, similar to non-microwave ovens.
Haha...the main component in Glass is silicon dioxide. it's a covalent compound rather than Ionic...meaning it;s a compound of non metals.SOmoen below stated that it's ionic. It doesnt become Ionic, but it does conduct electricity like one when it's a liquid.
That would be molten quartz. Glass melts at far lower temperature because it's full of soda or borax. The mobile sodium ions make it conduct. Pure silica isn't used for bottles because it doesn't soften until its heated brilliant white hot like a light bulb filament.

the glas got hot enough at one spot so that the molecules in that spot increased their frequency, to a frequency were it got amplified by the microwaves. The frequency of the microwaves and the frequency of the glass got tuned together. Lovley!

> frequency of the glass
Nope. Also it's a totaly myth that microwave ovens are tuned to water's frequency. They are actually tuned about 10x lower. Liquid water resonance is up around 20GHz-50GHz dependant on temperature. Microwave ovens are 2.5GHz, and some are even 900MHz.

Don't you have a "garage microwave" for home experimentation? Filled with charred paint and splintered glass? (Buy one for $5 at neighborhood garage sales.)

Micro doesnt work with heat. They work with friction. It just depends, if a material is liquid and its molecular strukture is "movable". Then the microwave moves the molecules around causing friction which adds up the the energy you've added with the burner. Glass is soft. Even if it appears to be hard, it always "flows". Thats why old church windows are thicker on the bottom than on the top.

heat=friction, doesn't it???
mbabitt 2 years ago
heat=a difference in temperature where the "hot" object has a higher temperature than what you're comparing it to.
friction=resistance to movement, like when you rub your hands together, its just a change of how the energy involved plays out, friction could make electricity(carpet static), heat and sound(squeeling tires), light and heat(matches), and so on.
IblesjunkieMrMcCoy 2 years ago
no. heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another through thermal contact. also it is known as the amount of thermal energy within a system. thermal energy is a function of temperature and mass (for example, a warm bath has more thermal energy than a lit match, even though the match is hotter.)

Glass in old windows is thicker at the bottom because of the way it is made, not because it is liquid. It is not liquid. The thicker glass is placed at the bottom for strength.
moofish1 2 years ago
Actually, glass is a super cool liquid, and the thicker glass at the bottom of an old window is due to that fact. I saw it on a documentary about how glass is made. So find evidence before claiming something.
94alternative94 2 years ago
i agree with you. my chem professor has told me multiple times that glass is in fact a liquid.
Rossw403 2 years ago
> thicker glass at the bottom of an old window
Glass doesn't flow like that, that's an urban legend, well hashed out in physics newsgroups. Go look at Snopes. Glass is not a liquid, it's a "glass," it's a solid without microscopic crystalline order. It doesn't flow significantly in less than many millions of years. Windowpane makers had to orient all the facets the same way, otherwise the prism effect would chop up the view.
wbeaty 2 years ago
Glass is not a liquid, it's an amorphous solids (basically a solid where the molecules can slide along eachother to a degree, somewhat similar to a liquid, but definately not a liquid as it holds more properties in common with a true solid)
dvospeed1 2 years ago
He's right. Gravity does have an effect on windows over time and the glass will 'sag' down. Just very very slowly.
0andrewsmith0 2 years ago
> gravity does have an effect on windows.
Not honest
The legend about flowing glass was thoroughly debunked. At room temperature the effect on windows takes hundreds of thousands of years to become slightly perceptible. Glass is not a liquid, it's a "glass." Search keywords on "glass transition," and the physics definition of the glass state as opposed to the liquid state.
Glaziers put all the windowpanes facing the same. That keeps the prism effect from chopping up the outdoor scene.

The microwaves have the same frequency as the rotational frequency of water, which will cause the water molecules to spin faster, which show's more energy resulting in greater heat. Any molecule that has a near rotational frequency will also be caused to heat up.
dvospeed1 2 years ago
Actually that's a widespread myth. Water absorption peak is around 30GHz.. 900MHz microwave ovens boil water just fine, as do 2.5GHz units. The spectrum for water vapor is very different than for liquid, the liquid lacks the sharp resonance and has only very broad humps. If ovens were tuned to the water, so that water was an extreme absorber at the operating frequency, then only the surface of meat would be heated, similar to non-microwave ovens.

technically it becomes a covalent compound that is electrolytic...since SiO2 (silicon DIoxide or Glass) is a covalent compound.

Haha...the main component in Glass is silicon dioxide. it's a covalent compound rather than Ionic...meaning it;s a compound of non metals.SOmoen below stated that it's ionic. It doesnt become Ionic, but it does conduct electricity like one when it's a liquid.
Cowboycurtis888 2 years ago
> covalent compound
That would be molten quartz. Glass melts at far lower temperature because it's full of soda or borax. The mobile sodium ions make it conduct. Pure silica isn't used for bottles because it doesn't soften until its heated brilliant white hot like a light bulb filament.
