Holy cow! We're giving away TWO Modern Rogue Pocket Blasters for freeeeeeee if you sign up for our weekly giveaway at gimme.scamstuff.com (no purchase necessary, giveaway ends 12/30/2021) Congrats to the winners of last week’s Modern Rogue Mug giveaway: John Ogden, Josh Sherwin, Tyler Cardwell, and Dave Anderson (we will contact you via email within the next two weeks).
You guys get experts to help you all the time. The next time you want to play with glass please call me before someone loses an eye. Love you both, but what you did wasn't even close to safe. I've got 20 years experience working with glass and I'm happy to help.
Former window restoration specialist (glazier) here. Glass isn't liquid until somewhere around 2K degF, which is well outside of the normal operating parameters of our planet, at least in places where we have windows. Glass used to be blown by hand/mouth (rather than rolled by machine), and that led to some imperfections, including panes where the thickness varied from one edge to another. Glassmakers also used to have different recipes for glass (adding different minerals/metals to the molten sand) to produce "clear" glass with a hint of different colors that you can see edge-on (bottle green is now the standard, but I've seen yellows and magentas as well).
The thicker end is a artifact from spinning the melted glass to draw it out into a pane. When making windows, the thicker end was placed towards the bottom since it's more stable than a top heavy pane.
Exactly. Glass is an amorphous solid, and at room temperature, it does not deform, not even extremely slowly. The plastic deformation of soda-lime glass occurs at temperatures of around 1,300 °F, but it doesn't melt until over 1,800 °F. So you won't find glass "flowing" until temperatures get extremely high...which is probably a good thing.
Sometimes the same windows will have glass of the same age that is thicker on the top or at the sides where the person fitting the pane didn't bother to put the thicker part at the bottom.
@@DHealey Yep! Sometimes the dimensions of the larger sheet the pane was cut from forced the glazier to put the thick edge on a vertical, and some glaziers didn't care where the thick edge was relative to the ground. There's no significant structural advantage to putting a thick edge in any particular orientation -- the points and putty will keep the glass in, regardless.
Physicist here: Microwaves are oscillating electromagnetic fields. When you put the can in, the EM waves caused currents to flow in the can. There would be standing waves set up in the metal of the can - some places with high voltage AC, some without. You would get high voltages between some places on the can and the earthed microwave cavity. With a gap, this can ionise the air and currents flow to try and balance out this voltage difference (think lightning). This current flow can heat locally. You’re putting in maybe 800W of RF energy, and it has to go somewhere - the problem if nothing absorbs the energy is it can reflect back and destroy the microwave cavity.
(furthermore, drinks cans usually have a clastic coating on the aluminium to protect the printing and also to prevent a metallic taste in the drink. this provides the gap you mentioned.)
Yep; if you're not going to be doing the response as it's not 'on brand', that's fine - but pair up with a channel that CAN and say 'if you want to know more, our partner 'X' will make a video on this, the link will be in the description'. 'X' gets traffic, and can link back. Symbiosis, everyone wins. 'X' could even be 'in house'.
@@w3vy719 It involved child slaves in a sweatshop in Bangladesh, it was a low point in his life he doesn't really want to get into but it's behind him now.
I once had a friend who had a stack of Magic: the Gathering cards get wet so he put them in the microwave to try drying them out. Apparently there were several foil cards in the stack that started sparking and caused the whole thing to catch fire. It was hilarious.
I knew a kid who unfortunately got involved with a cult who convinced him the trading card game was evil So he burned his entire collection The foils in some of the cards burned green and purple
Brian's insistent use of the phrase "arc weld" is probably the most science adjacent part of the episode. And also Jason's "is that plasma" to glowing hot glass
This reminds me of a RUclips channel from over a decade ago called “Will It Microwave?’ It was a bunch of teenagers sticking weird stuff in microwaves and turning them on. I think you can still find them on RUclips. It’s funny to me how tentative Brian and Jason were compared to those kids’ youthful recklessness. The episode where they microwaved an airbag was a standout.
You're thinking of "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" And yeah the episodes are still up on the channel, Jogwheel. Stand out episodes for me were the bottle of Gin, Tickle Me Elmo, and Pikachu.
5:42 i like the red shirt dude standing still with a glass plate in the background, It's like he's determined to hold that plate for as long as you guys want, it's his mission
This definitely made my day better by reminding me just how stupid most people are… especially these two. 😂No hate, love these two and they know they are idiots. I’m just agreeing 💀🙃
If you wrap metal in a wet towel, the microwaves will be absorbed by the water (no sparks) and it will just heat up the area. You can use this to heat up bearings that require an interference fit. So handy.
Unless you have a massive microwave, it's not so much that the microwaves are absorbed by the water, but mainly that it would provide conductive paths to prevent arcing in the air.
Worked in a restaurant that did fondue. We'd spoon the sauce into a round aluminum dish, toss it in the microwave for about thirty seconds while we went to light the candle on the table. No problems because the dishes were smooth, so no arc points.
I mean, in fairness, Jason is right next to someone calling himself "Science," so it'd be perfectly reasonable to call him "Adjacent." Thinking back, My mother actually had a paper plate catch fire in a Microwave once, and I have no idea why.
I once had a microwave meal catch fire in my microwave. It was in a wax(?) cardboard tray and I didn't notice that one corner was slightly damaged. That corner caught alight.
Microwaves vibrate water AND oil. Molecules moving faster is the definition of heat. Water can heat to 100° C before turning to steam and taking heat away. Oil can heat to it's ignition temperature and autoignite.
That happened to me recently. The plate had what I assumed to be shiny paint covering it (it was a birthday style plate), but turns out it was actual foil. Imagine my panic when my lunch turned into a full-on fire inside my microwave...
"We're getting water all over our set." refuses to flip the can upside down to stop the flow for a solid minute before the scene changes. This is probably one of the most sciency things you guys have done so far, discussing why things spark in a microwave as well as melting glass using the waves. That entire last segment about why glass can melt in a microwave would've been a fantastic sales pitch windup to selling plates that don't heat up when microwaving food.
There is an old demo I used to do with soda glass. You’d have a mains circuit with a bulb, and a piece of soda glass in series. On applying power, nothing happens. You heat the soda glass and as it has silicon, this frees up electrons and lower resistance. If you removed the heat, the light would go off. HOWEVER, if enough current flowed, the electricity would heat the sodaglass and even if you removed the Bunsen, the electricity flow would give the heat needed to keep it conductive… and more current would flow, making it hotter, making more current flow … until the glass melted. You have to know what you’re doing - electrical hazards, heat hazards and glass…. This was UK, using a 240V supply, and a 100W bulb. With 110V in the US, a 100W bulb would be a lower resistance, so it probably would differ (as you’d have a higher current for the same bulb brightness).
"It's probably fine" - A phrase that is overly used by me for over a year now, is undoubtedly the best phase in existance. Also I invented arc welding, not you.
You should look up the term, "Thermal shock." Really lucky that bottle was annealed properly, it could have exploded when you started in with the blowtorch.
My parents said that I apperently wanted to drink a warm milk once... So I put an entire carton of milk into the microwave. It exploded. And I never had my warm milk.
ElectroBOOM did a really good video on this. He microwaved like a bunch of metal stuff and hardly ever got an arc. Like silverware did nothing and tin foil would only arc occasionally.
you can make rubies in a microwave,you can also use the transformer out of it to make an arc furnace to make bigger ones with two carbon electrodes using all that power
I'm gonna go ahead and say it. Brian is the Jory Caron and Jason is the Riley McIlwain of this iteration of "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" Also, the old myth referencing glass panes being thicker at the bottom because the glass is slowly flowing is just that, a myth. The glass panes were designed like that intentionally to support the weight of the glass pane.
This reminds me of a neato li'l 'show' made back during RUclips's golden age. "Is it a good idea to microwave this?" Just a few kids doing exactly this sort of thing, occasionally bumping into a new danger that would make them rethink and upgrade their test setup. Fun show, fun vid. Gotta love microwaves
Also: Solid glass is a *very* good electrical insulator. That's why the can couldn't arc through it. Any energy that hit the can had no path to ground, unlike when the can was contacting the grounded shell.
I once set the timer wrong and as a result, one of my 8 vintage "Woodland Brown" Corelle / Pyrex mugs, glowed orange and melted, and took on a whole new shape..
Your shorts are already working, I saw the short and came to watch the full video. You should put the link to the full video in the comments, descriptions aren't easily seen on shorts on mobile.
17:17 this is the secret you realise when you get older. Parents (or uncles in my case) might not know all the most recent slang; but we DO know what's definitely no longer cool; that why we use it, because it's fun to annoy them! I even find myself using slang from that already was uncool in the 70s that my dad used on me as a kid, towards my niece! It was never even cool in my lifetime 😂
Am I the only one who, when he brought up the radio story, immediately assumed they were talking about the old style of microwaves that literally had metal shelving sometimes?
From what i understand (from a veritasium video) glass is not a liquid at room temperature. the thicker parts at the bottom are to make the glass seem more uniform because it was hard to get glass perfectly flat. lead is actually closer to a liquid at room temperature than glass.
"Red Hot" starts at about 930F for a very dim dull red (visible in low light) to 1400F for a bright cherry red (clearly glowing in daylight). Melting is at about 2000F and should be a bright glowing yellow color.
People say glass is a liquid because of its low viscosity but it's still high enough that over 100 of thousands of years nothing would happen Also the lead that they used to hold the glass in the old churches have a Even lower viscosity do if the glass would have a visible effect the lead would be a puddle. Another thing you can buy a thing online called a microwave furnace which is a firebrick box with a special type black paint inside. It can even melt iron inside a normal microwave
They call it a liquid due to its non uniform crystal structure which makes it a semi-solid and the droop that occurs is microscopic and would take millennia to be visible
Not sure what the differences might be, but you can also get flatbed microwaves, where there is no turntable, everything is placed directly on the microwave floor. Dunno if itll make a difference with any of these, but the options def available
This is maybe my 13th time watching this video, and Jason going “I have consumed all of the the base properties of mead.” at 7:56 is still making me laugh.
This is how to melt silicon for electronics and solar panels. A preheater is used to get the silicon hot, then an RF field is used to melt the silicon.
a possible explanation for the first can arcing with electricity is it could have had a dent in it which provided a path for the excited particles to jump as electricity. if you ever microwaved a crumpled ball of tinfoil, you will see the same effect but in a bigger way. I believe it is also why CDs arc because it is bridging the micro gaps in it when the information is burned onto it.
This just felt really counter productive and drawn out. Did make me think about "Is it a good idea to microwave this?" though. Great OG RUclips series.
When we microwave stuff in ceramic or glass bowls and plates, the bowls and plates can be very hot, like you don't want to hold it for more than a nanosecond, and the food in the bowl or on the plate is still not heated up enough to eat, maybe still cold from when you removed it from the refrigerator. SO, yes, glass and ceramics do get hot in a microwave.
thea epihany of being a mordern rogue: Being 10 bottles of beer and 3 salmon fricadelles + rice down and watching an episode of melting a beer bottl.e I'll prolly die tonight.
You can do the same thing with fancy Glasses, like Wine. Many of them are "Leaded Glass" and you can achieve it with just a Lighter. A More interesting trick is using Fire + Water to cut Glass. Oceans XX? used alcohol soaked string, wrapped around Wine Bottles, Light the string, Heat the Bottle, then Drop into Water. The temperature difference will shatter/cut the Glass along where the String Wrapped it.
While at my sister's place, she put a domino's garlic bread in the microwave, with aluminium foil and paper wrapping and all, into the microwave. Didn't even know she did until she started screaming, "the microwaves on fire!" Good times.
Remember to put your food on the edge of the plate to actually get an even cook since the wavelengths are a couple inches. If it stays in one spot, the waves will only hit one spot. Leaving some hot and some cold
My inference is that there was water in the air inside the microwave and having the can of undisclosed liquid allowed it to spark like a Jacob's ladder allowing the air to ionize and by being in the vacinith of the metal it caused the metal to also melt a little bit causing it to leak

a possible explanation for the first can arcing with electricity is it could have had a dent in it which provided a path for the excited particles to jump as electricity. if you ever microwaved a crumpled ball of tinfoil, you will see the same effect but in a bigger way. I believe it is also why CDs arc because it is bridging the micro gaps in it when the information is burned onto it.

Loving the new theme music for Science Adjacent! Has Bill Nye the Science Guy vibes
The intro couldn't have been playing off of an old science tv show made by Disney.
you can also melt metal in microwaves too. takes a while but there are guides for homemade microwave smelter all over.
I'm over 50, and I never stopped wearing shirts that make people say "ok I get it."
@5:35... the moment Brian discovers the thing about microwaves THAT EVERBODY ELSE KNOWS.
Thank you for reminding me can you microwave this the best RUclips show ever
When we microwave stuff in ceramic or glass bowls and plates, the bowls and plates can be very hot, like you don't want to hold it for more than a nanosecond, and the food in the bowl or on the plate is still not heated up enough to eat, maybe still cold from when you removed it from the refrigerator. SO, yes, glass and ceramics do get hot in a microwave.
thea epihany of being a mordern rogue:
Being 10 bottles of beer and 3 salmon fricadelles + rice down and watching an episode of melting a beer bottl.e
I'll prolly die tonight.
That glass thing was crazy as hell!
Points for the System Shock reference!
Love that intro, dudes!
You can do the same thing with fancy Glasses, like Wine. Many of them are "Leaded Glass" and you can achieve it with just a Lighter.
A More interesting trick is using Fire + Water to cut Glass. Oceans XX? used alcohol soaked string, wrapped around Wine Bottles, Light the string, Heat the Bottle, then Drop into Water. The temperature difference will shatter/cut the Glass along where the String Wrapped it.
And after you've removed the too of a wine bottle, you can use the punt at the bottom as a liner for a shaped charge.
But if metal doesn't heat in a microwave, why are we told not to put forks in the microwave?
While at my sister's place, she put a domino's garlic bread in the microwave, with aluminium foil and paper wrapping and all, into the microwave. Didn't even know she did until she started screaming, "the microwaves on fire!"
Good times.
And just like that we get back to, "Is it safe to Microwave this?" land. Haha
Microwaves create a current in metal and it arcs across points of metal. Microwaves are coated in a non metal coating inside to prevent this.
Remember to put your food on the edge of the plate to actually get an even cook since the wavelengths are a couple inches. If it stays in one spot, the waves will only hit one spot. Leaving some hot and some cold
Ah, I am late to get the notification as always. Anyway cool video!
Loving that intro :D
This reminds me of that old RUclips series “can you microwave this?” God I miss them, watching those guys vids after binging Arby n the Chief
My inference is that there was water in the air inside the microwave and having the can of undisclosed liquid allowed it to spark like a Jacob's ladder allowing the air to ionize and by being in the vacinith of the metal it caused the metal to also melt a little bit causing it to leak
That intro is causing me to have a flashback. Early 90s bill Nye the science guy
This reminds me of the legendary RUclips channel/ series , *Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?* Anyone else?
