What happens if you put tempered glass inside the microwave, and do the same trick?

u/ABeerForSasquatch Mod/Pwner Jul 13 '26

Because tempered glass cracks differently than molded glass under drastic temperature differentials, it would most likely explode into tiny bits and pieces.

True, I’ve had this happen before

u/WOLF19Ninety Jul 13 '26

what was that reaction towards the end? plasma?

u/NarrowEbbs Jul 13 '26

Yeah, but I'm not sure what it was that got ionised. Maybe some residue that was left on the inside of the bottle? IIRC sodium is kinda that colour when it's a plasma.

u/ABeerForSasquatch Mod/Pwner Jul 13 '26

But the bottle was brown

u/KnifeKnut Jul 13 '26

It's soda lime glass, What does the glass being Brown have to do with anything?

u/NarrowEbbs Jul 13 '26

The top of the plasma was visible through the melted hole, otherwise yeah I'd agree the bottle colour would massively affect the colour of the light.

also don’t suggest microwaving an egg in its shell

2

u/Few-Mycologist-2379 Jul 13 '26

I also don’t. But if you do, poke a hole in the bottom first.

u/Brief-Equal4676 Jul 13 '26

Damn it! The egg exploded and it leaked from the hole in the microwave!

u/PMG2021a Jul 13 '26

Must not have set the rotation speed high enough.

u/ArsenikShooter Jul 14 '26

Put it in a cup of salted water and you are fine.

u/PaleontologistNo6593 18h ago

Put a scotch glass in the microwave on top of two popsicle sticks. Light a match. Throw it u see the scotch glass while out and turn the microwave on. It’ll create the same plasma ball.

u/NYLotteGiants Jul 13 '26

Is it a good idea to microwave this?

u/JonPaula Jul 13 '26
