in today’s video we’re going to learn
what happens if you put lit matches into
a microwave youtube user
Oleg bullsh agin I’m sure I’m saying
that wrong and I apologize says hey
Grand try to put matches in the
microwave then set them on fire and
start the microwave something cool is
going to happen
we’ve got matches and we’ve got a
microwave I’ve actually seen footage of
this before and I’ve been curious if
it’s real guys you’ve seen us put Orbeez
in this microwave and we think we can
probably do some more exciting stuff now
the reason that we’re using this
microwave if you remember from our
previous video we’ve actually drilled a
hole into the back of it so that we can
actually film what’s happening inside
the microwave without worrying about
trying to go through the mesh in the
front while the microwave is running
we’ll either have a phone or a metal
plate blocking up both of these holes so
we shouldn’t be at any danger of being
exposed to the microwave radiation
testing this is pretty simple
we’ve got matches we’ve got a working
microwave and as far as we can tell
that’s all we should need to get a good
result a small piece of dowel with a
hole drilled into it holds our match
just fine it doesn’t take up a whole lot
of space or volume that should absorb
extra microwaves so I think that should
work alright
wood can heat up in a microwave on its
own but it doesn’t do so quickly so I’m
not too worried about this bursting in
well we killed it then the match go out
it did it we just blew up the match
right let’s let’s do the same thing and
maybe just let the match burn a little
bit more this is interesting
regular burnt match oh yeah turned all
white at the top well so what you have
to match and dragged in let it burn a
little bit more give it a little bit
more flame let it really grab on yeah
that’s you can smell it whoa they’re
making a sound smell yeah here we go
we’re gonna smell a lot of that all
right let’s try this again
filming the ceiling of the microwave
this time we’re gonna actually see if we
can see what’s going on up there that’s
whoa whoa holy cow there’s like a
traveling ball of fire and light up
there all right let’s open my grave yeah
yeah we have a little ghost ball running
our little glowing fuzzy ball up at the
ceiling just like we traveling around
guys I just figured out how to fake so
much paranormal video footage this is
okay that wasn’t his chillin up there
hmm
we were getting a lot out of that took a
while that one made that really hot we
we let that one actually stay there for
a minute yeah and some of the stuff was
just chilling at the top of it the top
is made of metal so it does pick up heat
pretty well and that time went little
plasma balls just sort of stayed in
place in one spot and I think that
definitely heated up I’m a little
curious if this works with other things
in a match still fire but not like
specifically a match I want to try a
little glass bowl with some rubbing
alcohol in it okay see if that’ll work
all right that’s it this bowl has just a
little bit of 70% isopropyl alcohol in
it we’re just gonna light that set it in
that’s on fire you don’t see it a whole
lot because isopropyl alcohol does not
it’s getting brighter Wow wait it won’t
explode I’m just worried about heating
up the inside of the microwave too much
that is producing quite a bit more flame
so here we’re gonna we’re gonna try one
more thing all right now we’ve just got
a few drips it’s not even covering the
I think it went out well I don’t know
what’s so special about match fires but
those are working well maybe they’re
just the right size maybe they’re more
consistent the alcohol flame and the
bolt was kind of moving around a bit
more but we’re we’re getting a really
good consistent in the same spot flame
and I think maybe that’s part of the
important part we this is definitely
working we are definitely getting the
plasma shooting off of the match and
it’s looking really cool on the inside
the microwave but there’s another aspect
of it that we want to try it well we
won’t actually capture that plasma what
we’re gonna do is we’re gonna try
putting a glass jar over the match and
see if we can contain it down low
instead of having to go up and hit the
top of the microwave so this has one
more added element of just something we
need to be careful about the jar is
obviously gonna let all the oxygen burn
up if we just set it over a match then
the match will go out so we’ll have to
it pretty quickly I’m not super worried
about it I don’t think it would burn up
that fast but we’ll just have to put the
match in put the jar over and start it
pretty quickly should be easy enough
that was amazing that seemed to work
great that plasma is seeming to get
really really hot and if it just
suddenly heats up the top of the glass
too much the glass jar is almost
certainly just gonna break will
necessarily want to do that maybe maybe
not what is happening in our microwave
with the matches so fire is technically
plasma the microwave radiation is
allowing us to excite that energy and
create that little blue ball that you
are seeing I’m just giving you a
demonstration this is energy it has a
lot of energy if putting off energy and
the microwave adds more to it so instead
of putting off this little bit of energy
it suddenly is putting off a lot of
energy now the reason that we’re doing
this is because it’s really hard to
create plasma on its own in these
conditions when we take pre ignited
plasma we can excite it with our
microwave and we can actually make it
look a lot more in theory it’s possible
to take a microwave and just create
plasma in it but it would take a much
more powerful microwave these machines
that you can get commercially aren’t
gonna have that much power and thank
goodness or you would never successfully
cook your food there just destroy
everything and make a lot of plasma out
of it and destroy your house and like
them good chance how hot is that plasma
getting in there so that plasma can get
up to thousands of degrees which is why
we are taking it out of the microwave so
quickly we keep turning it off because
this glass jar can’t handle that amount
of heat at least not for long we’ve seen
that it can hold it for a couple of
seconds but I think maybe we should even
just put it the test leave it in there
see what the plasma does to it yes give
it a shot
oh it’s hot don’t want to leave my hand
[Music]
oh there goes again a jar is just too
good one it’s a good one oh it’s out
cessful he broke the glass 14 before I
got it turned off started yes rocks new
versus microwaves fighting yes
oh I think our microwave just died I
think we killed it we successfully
shorted out the microwave it doesn’t
like it when you make too much plasma
weird I’d say this is definitely a real
thing we got the plasma to work it did
take some trial and error of where
exactly to put the match what kind of
glass container could go over it but we
got plasma not only got plasma we were
able to contain it for an extended
amount of time while that’s only a few
seconds it’s still really cool to see
yeah are we
we broke one jar we tried using a
different jar mason jar and we think it
was definitely thicker and held up to
heat a little bit better it’s still very
warm yeah even though the microwaves are
bouncing around we think that it wasn’t
in direct line of fire to excite the
plasma quite enough the jar we
successfully broke was shorter so we
think that it was holding a plasma lower
down in a better position it definitely
works guys matches in a microwave it may
be something you want to talk to your
parents before you try it at home
because we were really heating up the
roof of the microwave as we did this and
we shorted it out yeah we that we flip
the breaker we had to turn that back on
so this is something you have to be
aware of if you’re trying this at home
microwave does still work we’re
definitely gonna do worse thanks to this
sure that makes sense
that made me so happy and there we go I
got it I got it I got it
I got this don’t worry guys it’s cut
Pitt don’t do this at home guys that’s
not all we’ve always got more for you to
see this box up here at the top will
take you to our latest video the box
down at the bottom will take you to what
YouTube thinks you should be watching
next and if you’re not subscribed hit
this bomb in the middle don’t forget to
