  • I really don't understand. Why don't use a pressure pot? Why the microwaves? The pressure pot has a valve for exiting the steam, so it is really more safe than the microwave. And all the cables are *really* simple to connect.

    Why the hell did you use a microwave?!?!

  • just an easy quick way to get super heated steam

  • Nice! microwaves are fun. I have four now...well parts of them.

  • yes a good cheap source of HV parts for sure-just be careful with the pink ceramic on the magnetron-its got beryllium in it-and care must be taken not to break it.

    breathing any dust from the broken ceramic,would not be good.

  • Kool !

  • Microwaves also transform water. The current problem with burning water with a plasma spark is that the water is quickly recombined and creates a vacuum. I wonder if microwaved water behaves the same?

  • microwaves heat steam beyond 212 deg F this is a very clever aproach

  • yeah they smell real bad -but watching the screen light up from the cold cathode tube and heat effects to the cooking LCD material is great!

  • your fkn hilarios,,lol

    it was last seen cooking a laptop computer =D

  • Alpha particles aren't the fun part. good point m3sca1.
