Microwave Superheating

A glass of water in a microwave superheats in contact with a two cent coin.
(I decreased the frame rate, the superheating is actually done in less than a second)

@SilverSeraph2 I had it happen to me while I was shirtless. The only thing that saved me was that the microwave was over my head. It shot out, but not directly on me. Killed my eardrums and shot the toothbrush I stuck in the water flying clear across a large room. Shit was NUTZ.

Would a glass of water in a microwave superheat in contact with a baby hamster, or does it have to be a two cent coin? I can get coins.

I agree that it was stupid (I tried it before, with gloves, but it didn't work, then I thought "well, what the heck"...yea, stupid), I don't think it was much over 100°C though. I probably got lucky that it didn't even hurt...on the other hand, if it doesn't touch the skin directly, just the clothes, it shouldnt be that much of a problem since it combusts instantly. That I wore a T-shirt didn't make it much smarter though...
On the other hand, it was an awesome experience... ;P

Actually, it didnt. I was just a bit shocked that it worked, I mean, it was really loud and, uhm, fast, so I just withdrew my hand. But I still wonder why it didnt hurt / I didnt got burned.

how long do you put it in the microwave

Until it boiled (30-60seconds), then knocked against it with a fork, repeat (begins boiling sooner this time), knock again, repeat until it doesnt boil within about 30 seconds. Then you can be quite sure that it is above 100°C.
So, in total, about 3 minutes - but it usually doesnt work if you do it 3 minutes straight, you need the breaks and knocks.
