Jar of Plasma in Microwave

Apparently, you can make a high energy plasma in the microwave oven. I used a small chip of aluminum foil covered plastic, which combusts, providing hot semi-charged gasses that the microwave can then excite to the point that it glows. Interesting sound. Have windows open, and a fire extinguisher nearby. Use oven mittens/goggles, as jar became very hot and shattered shortly after experiment.

Hmm... must remember that one next time I'm using a plasma cutter, a 5.1m pole is needed.

Thats not plasma because a small chip of plasma smalled then a pin head can kill you from 5 meters away. and it would defiantly ruin your microwave as it is over 1 million degrees Fahrenheit.
