Ball lightning in a microwave... I've now seen it all and shall die a happy man!

To follow this up, the microwave blew up yesterday (15/12/08). I guess it wasn't helped by this experiment!

Now i want to see what happens if this top bowl will contain explosives...

Type "ball lightning in microwave ovens" into google. First article, explanation of the phenomenon. The ball is running along the magnetic field created by the microwave oven's magnetron! Science is so cool.

Uuuuhhh... it sounds like it's breaking your microwave, dude. Very cool, but you may wanna invest in a new microwave.

It's all the better for your follow up. Bang!!!
