Try a fork or spoon. A heavier metal yields better results than aluminum. Microwaves pull out moisture, so a denser metal will cause more sparks.
I love this videos of 'cast and experiment'
Keep up the good work man!! Loving the videos
I think new microwaves dont spark like old ones
Can you cast a raw egg in resin and see if it cooks in the microwave? Talk about eggception. An egg within an egg
Who remembers the show “Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?”
I miss that show :P
God how long ago was that it’s been years.
"I'm your host, Jory Cameron" watched that from Beginning to end
The air bag that they barely survived, good times good times.
I don't, but I remember the bendtec blender videos and "will it blend?"
Your channel is a breath of fresh air. No drama, no edginess. Just a salt of the earth bloke and his passion for making stuff.
Lol I was totally expecting a different ending to the "so I've asked her kindly to go out"... Was waiting for a "so I can do it without her knowing"
I have an experiment to expand on this. Maybe try putting water or some food inside of clear resin (with the cut, cavity, glue technique), and microwaving it. That should allow you to test whether the resin is absorbing the microwaves or just interfering with the arcing. If the water boils or the food gets hot, then you know it's the latter
Great idea
dude change your profile
@@THESLlCK dude quit liking your own comment
I believe the resin is absorbing most of the microwave radiation it has a larger mass and is much more dense than the surrounding material. If possible try putting the cylinder on a lathe and reduce the sidewalls. In theory this should allow some of the microwave radiation to penetrate and cause a violent plasma reaction. Just a theory though.

Imagine some archeologist from the future digging these up..."What the hell were these used for?"
This is the same reason I want to orchestrate an entire thing with whoever my loved ones and friends are in the future. Like, I want to have my freshly dead body to be wrapped in mock up ceremonial garb and to be buried in a peat bog with that and a bunch of miscellaneous things like books, candles, gem stones, an axe, and whatever the fuck else
So someday I can be dug up by some tractor man and have archaeologists speculate the insanity long after my death.

Lololol I love how your wife is always the voice of reason-no you are NOT gonna blow up my microwave. Nice of her to go get you one to play with though, lol. 😂 This was fun!!

Yay, Nicole for standing up for her kitchen appliances!
Literally nothing makes me happier at the moment than seeing you upload at the moment. I really like it when you talk through the videos too. I prefer it to your videos of just making things
Thanks Jack
I prefer talking videos as well, in general
Every time the foil floated and sat on the surface just made me think of an iceberg and now I wanna see an iceberg diorama :p
After seeing how the foil looked in the resin it makes me want to do a sea bed made of foil incased in blue tinted resin.
After seeing the foil I want to eat a cheeseburger that’s been wrapped in foil for about 5 hours.
I love that you went to the trouble of scribbling on the anko brand even though Kmart only sells one brand...
The latest findings from the Research Institute for Packaging of the Fraunhofer-Intitut ( Fraunhofer-Instituts für Verfahrenstechnik und Verpackung (IVV) in Freising (Germany)) showed that aluminum trays are suitable for microwaves as long as they are placed on a plate made of glass or plastic. I think the resin works in a similar way.
Ahh, that would explain it
but why? I get that it dosn't produce plasma, but why ;_; and also... the spinning plate in the oven IS glass
@@IcecalGamer Came to my mind as well. We all have glass plates inside.
@@IcecalGamer I think a single piece of crumpled aluminum has many high surface areas that don't touch the plate.
In the video, the plasma is only created between the bulging areas of the aluminum foil.
I haven't found a physical explanation. I suspect glass and plastic ground the aluminum foil, but I'm not an expert. But only found the mentioned paper:
"Microwaveability of Steel and Aluminium Food Packaging"
by
"Fraunhofer-Institut für Verfahrenstechnik und Verpackung (Fraunhofer IVV), Thomas Pfeiffer"
english name:
"Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging, Thomas Pfeiffer"
Your videos are not only super satisfying to watch but so wholesome, I recently found your channel and I absolutely love your videos ! Keep doing what your doing!
Made my day when you said "nothing to do with putting foil inside resin" I like your honesty. Great Video!
That is so wild... Thought for sure it'd spark sticking out the sides.
Well the reason why it didn't spark or arc in the microwave is because the aluminum foil had no pockets of oxygen stuck in it
@@texasgrizzlygaming2520 the Alu foil wasnt well compacted AT all in the "christmas tree" sides . it had air around it. it had points for the arcs to spark from. there is something more than that.
The aluminum foil has to touch the bottom or sides of the microwave to spark. The resin is insulating the foil....
The go pro in the pressure pot is such a cool angle. I love it!
The aluminum with blue resin was way too pretty to burn up anyhow. :)
Dear Ben with all respect I think yours is the best show on the internet. I dealt with English relatives when I was growing up. Canadian relatives when I was growing up. But you are one great Kent. Happy anniversary to you and your Mrs. Godspeed Ben I'm dying of a heart condition. And your channel made me smile. Keep teaching Ben. Keep teaching.

First video of yours I've seen, think I'll stick around. Your voice is down right mesmerizing to listen to in a Morgan Freeman kinda way.
Thanks Justin and Welcome to my channel 😊
I second the voice comment. I thought it was just me.
I just want a video of him saying aluminum over and over and over!
When you mentioned asking your wife to step out I thought you meant so you could do it anyway 🤣
OK now I need to see a project with Aluminum that you aren't trying to blow up!
why? Me like kaboom
I agree it's so pretty!
Has anyone told you that you sound EXACTLY like Korg from Thor Ragnarok?!?!
Korg is a New Zealander

I was thinking the same thing, absolutely awesome!
Sounds like such a friendly dude.
I wish he would say, “it’s like a freaky circle” in one of his videos 👌🏼
You just know the casting was on point when this theme song just plays 5:04 😭😭❤❤
Where is this tune from ? I love it
Back in the early days of microwave ovens, there were numerous recipes that called for wrapping sensitive parts of food (such as the tip of drumsticks) for part of the cooking process. I seem to remember that the instructions were clear to avoid pointy edges, as those could allow for sparking.
As the guys over at modern rogue say, this feels "science adjacent "
The only difference between science and goofing around is writing it down.
Or like Evan & Katelyn. :D They even have a little jingle, “Science-Adjacent with Evan & Katelyn, yeah!”
Just ordered a beautiful ocean pendant from your etsy shop. I LOVE your channel, and the obvious enthusiasm and care you out into your creations. Really excited to wear something you created!
I enjoy both the experiment videos and the project ones, so switching between the two seems great but I'll watch whatever I see!
Before you put the first one in the microwave, I thought the resin might put a thin coat on the foil all over, even in the creases so that layers of foil were not touching, as i have noticed if you put flat foil in the micro it did not spark for me, and have left forks in by accident as well many years ago. But guess like you that the microwaves are being absorbed by the resin, and the foil does not get any or very little of them directly, and it was sooooo refreshing to hear someone pronounce the word aluminium properly, unlike a lot of youtubers who feel they have to pronounce it the American way, as if their audience would be unable to work out what they were talking about if they spoke in their native language of English lol.
i was shocked the 1st one didn't work either, but now we know. show at the end was worth the wait 😁
IT WENT EXACTLY TO PLAN
WE ASKED A QUESTION AND GOT THE ANSWER JUST NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED THATS WHY I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
I loved this episode. It was great fun! Also, I like to see what you like to make. Experiments or not-you are an awesome maker. One more thing: Thanks Nicole!
My dad worked for an appliance company and would work on repairs when needed. They had a thing that was some type of metal encased in plastic. They would put it inside of a microwave and it would light up and let them know if they microwave was working. It was a really cool thing and I loved showing my friends it. It would take a couple minutes to start working though.
I would love to see a video sometime of you going over your equipment, tools, workshop, and processes as a maker! I love the logistical side of these things and would love to hear your tips and tricks based on all the experience you have when working with resin, wood, etc... as well as what you do with all the waste product made (like the resin shavings)!
New subscriber here, and thanks for all the videos and work you do!!
Ben, I’d love to see you attempt a galaxy sphere! They have ones with little opalescent planets and stuff, they’re totally gorgeous. I was thinking that a smaller, loosely crumpled up aluminum foil ball would look interesting with galaxy colors, like a nebula or something. :)
I'd love that too!
This was Wonderful! I had no idea the aluminum would be stopped arcing even with room to arc
Thankyou, yeah I was surprised
Gee, tried reading a few comments. Quit real quickly. Dunno why folks act that way 😥. But I just want to say... ARE YOU CRAZY? I guess so and that's why we enjoy your videos Ben. Thanks for sharing your creativity (?) with me again. Stay safe, Vickie
I THINK I remember learning that if the volume of non-conductive material exceeds the volume of aluminum foil it won't spark.
Taco bell burrito wrappers with a burrito inside sure sparked back in the 80s
My grandmother had a cookbook that came with her microwave that instructed you to wrap the wing tips of a chicken in foil to stop them overcooking compared to the rest of the chicken. I remember at the time thinking that it was going to spark like crazy but it was in there for about an hour and was fine but then one day I accidentally made my own charcoal chicken by placing a whole BBQ chicken in the microwave in a foil/paper bag and that definitely gave me a show.
Kmart?! That's where they all went.
ben, I want you to make what you want to make. because ultimately you doing something you enjoy makes me enjoy more as a viewer
Definitely every fortnight schedule! Also you learned you can use aluminum foil in your builds and they will be microwave safe!!
I enjoy watching u make stuff. The occasional experiment in the name of art sure but not just off the wall experiments. That’s my opinion. U rock!
Thanks David
Next obvious step: ya gotta see how thin a wall will let microwaves penetrate
You could put a raw egg in a resin cup and see if it cooks
A wet paper towel will stop aluminum foil sparkling.
it doesn't take much to block microwaves, they're really not very strong.
Your phone receives signals via microwaves... the better experiment (although I'm sure it's been done already) is to see how thick a wall needs to be before the microwaves are unable to pass through. More interestingly, various materials could be tested, but something tells me he probably doesn't have access to the right tools to detect microwaves
@@DARTHxBRSTNITRX exactly, that’s why I put my phone in the microwave when I want to talk to my popcorn
i like how at one point in the video ben decides his goal is now to cause the same lightning effect hes been protecting the aluminum from happening.
I don't know what it is about blue dye in the resin, but it almost looks clearer than leaving it clear? Great job, Ben :)
If the resin absorbed the energy, it should get warm. If it just reflects, then the foil outside of the resin should get warm. Maybe there are different resins that don't do that, or you could try a thin layer. If the resin starts burning, you might also see some arcs from the fire, which is also plasma.
I enjoy you videos whether they are “makers” or “experiments”.
Thank you for the entertainment and interesting content.
My favorite part is when he says “aluminyum” lol
I used to be so confused when someone said it like that, I honestly used to think they were talking about something else XD. I was stupid
Aluminium, the way the rest of the world says it.
The element is "aluminium"
The US and Canada are like the only 2 places that say aluminum
@@youtubeSuckssNow I honestly thought the US was the only one that took out the "I". Interesting
The guy that discovered it called it aluminium at first, then changed it TO aluminum. He then changed it BACK to aluminium, so it caused some confusion among the different countries of the world.
Even when Ben is disappointed, he still sounds gleeful.
Could you leave an egg in vinegar so it removes the shell leaving only the membrane intact and set it in resin?
Great video. Always love experiment videos. Love your compromise on the different project every fortnight too.
I literally wrote a whole comment on why it might not of worked but as I watched more of the video I realised I was wrong
I have a Maytag micro wave that is stainless steel inside. It comes with a metal rack for multiple layer cooking. It does not spark at all. But it came with a warning about not letting the metal touch the sides or the walls or floor with the rack. The oven has plastic rack holders that keep the metal from touching the sides. I think you are correct about the resin keeping it protected, by not letting it touch anything.
That’s interesting
Well the microwave magnetron uses 4K volts dc from a transformer which vibrates water molecules. So if water it should heat and what it is doing is making plasma.
these videos are the best your voice is so comfortable for some reason even if you were gonna blow up a microwave you were so calm and these are so interesting too ! you just gained a new subscriber !
Where I'm from K-Mart has been out of business for decades. I had to listen twice to make sure I heard right. Hello, from the great nation of Texas!
Kmart is very different here in Australia from what I hear. I absolutely love it 😍
I love the idea of one maker and one experimental video.

We got sound bites of Ben saying “balls drop” and “fortnite” in one video. Today is a good day.
I do enjoy watching your experiments, but I am more so enjoying your maker vids. Alternating sounds great, but only if it is what will make you happy.
Try a grape in resin!!! But the resin shield the waves. And it wouldn’t spark. Because it’s like using the microwave with foil next to it and not inside the microwave
I'm fascinated.... I like both types of video, will watch whatever you put up!
this is the stuff I like to see!
Hi you are crazymouse! and I love you 😍. That was fun, the fiol in resin on the worrley light box looked beautiful. Thank you so much for your video and time. You make this 71 year old a happy bunny. X
Conclusion: it's okay to put aluminum in a microwave if you got some plastic with it. 👌
It seems that way 🤷🏻♂️
@@BensWorx 😆 I'm not a scientist. We need more experiments Ben.
That shade of blue is beautiful
What a shocking turn of events
One of the coolest experiments I've seen. Interesting idea.
Sticks foil into the microwave.
This has turned into The King of Random channel 😂
I love that channel lol
This will never be the King of Random Channel.
Works for me I like seeing you build things
I found your channel because of the stuff in resin videos. I understand your sentiment that you don't want to become just that channel so your idea of alternating would work I believe. Maybe it would even give you a bit more time for the create videos?
Thanks for your input 👍
I can’t believe you bought a new microwave to test microwaving aluminum foil in...
Great video, though!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You should start forming objects out of aluminium foil and cast them in resin. The aluminium in resin looks awesome
I laughed out loud at timestamp 10:00. It was just to funny when you said "this had nothing to do with putting foil in resin". Good job trying all the different ways to make sparks.
There are some microwaves out there that won't react to microwaving metals. Could be the reason you didn't have a reaction 🤷♂️ either way I enjoyed watching bro
K-Mart? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time.
I thought when you said you sent your wife to the store that you were going to use her microwave while she was out.
Ok I’m a chemistry tutor so lemmy take a crack at this.
Aluminum has a set voltage per gram that will create a spark if the amount of volts exceed that amount.
Normally aluminum foil sparks because it is very thin so it takes a small amount of voltage to create the spark. When you wad the aluminum in a tight ball like that and coat most of it in a non-conductive resin (I’m guessing the resin has no metal properties) the voltage does not charge the aluminum enough to spark.
Obviously the middle foil sees very little (if any) of the voltage.
I hope I answered your question, if someone feels like I missed something chime in I love chemistry.
am surprized that your wife didn take the new microwave and you get the old one .haha
At least we got a bit of a light show in the end. I still think it was worth a worthy experiment, and now we all know what won't happen.
Even though what we expected to happen did not, I still very much enjoyed this.
Microwaves are tuned to be absorbed by water so it heats our food. Resin has lots of hydrogen and some oxygen content in it. This probably absorbed most of the microwave energy preventing the ionization of the electrons in the foil. This would explain why it worked without the resin. It happens with food because there is a lot less material compared to the resin blocks you used.
First time watching the channel, but great video!
also i love how he just kept making new holes and adding more and more foil
Well you tried it in every way you could. Nice job Ben.
I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Watched the entire thing. And even messaged the address to a friend that is presently obsessed with casting resin. Also your tip about adding some blue coloring (simple food coloring?) to the resin. I am sure that I would prefer that look too. I'm going to try to think up something for you to make. I envy your shop and tools!!
Thanks Matthew 😊
I loved the first blank
That was cool Ben.
I like your idea about the rotation of videos.
Thank you for your part MrsWorx!
I would have loved seeing a lightbulb in resin in the microwave. I love the experimental idea
I believe the mass of the metal must be greater than the mass of the other object to get it to react. Cool experiment, everything looks cooler when you put it in resin!
The reason metal is bad in microwaves isn't because it is metal itself, it's because of the extremely sharp angles within the metal. By encapsulating it in a smooth cylinder, it eliminated the sharp angles and the chance for arcing. It was an interesting experiment, but I kind of figured it wouldn't work.
I must say I'm surprised!! Has the foil formula changed? There should have been sparks!! But I am speaking from a Canadian and 1980s point of view. Back then there was fire!!
Your idea of experiments once every fortnight is a good one. You have one vote for that.
The thing with microwaves is that the reason metal will spark is the metal reflecting the microwaves creating large heat pockets, and the resin was preventing it from reflecting enough to spark in any one area
The foil continuing to not light up inside the resin was comedy. Haha
Watching King of Random videos has taught me microwaves are not actually as reactive as you think. It took them many attempts to produce a plasma arc from aluminum and even metal silverware and cutlery in the microwave.
So epoxy resin is considered a good insulator due to its dielectric constant of 3.6. That means it is 3.6 times better at insulating than air. It takes 30,000V/mm to ionize air, meaning that if you had a 1mm gap it would take a potential difference of 30kV to cause current to flow through the air across the gap. Since there is little to no air in the resin, it would take 108kV potential difference between the aluminum to cause it to spark in the microwave. Also since the resin is pretty thick, the strength of the microwave is attenuated as it travels through the material, making it even harder to build up the required voltage on the foil. Also you were correct about the foil needing to have sharp points because you need charge to build up at the points to have a potential difference. So it’s unlikely that this experiment would work unless you ripped the aluminum up into small pieces and put them really close together in the resin and then cranked up the power of the microwave. Since it was cheap it was probably a relatively low wattage. A 1500W microwave will probably work better. :)
Love the vids anyway Ben!
For a second I was thinking you had unknowingly had some of that microwave safe Aluminium foil and didn’t realise🤣👍🏻
