I almost forget that the phantoms don't record sound and Gav puts it all in by hand. This one is especially impressive.
The editing when they showed the sparks, then removed gaps, then did all the sparks at once felt like a visualization of radio lab. So beyond awesome.
Gav mentioned in a video that they have a sound guy making all the sounds. But ya, it might still be him doing all the video editing.
@Nikkeftw I believe that was for The Super Slow Show series when they had a full crew. Videos like this in the studio or Gavin's back garden I THINK are edited by him personally. I could be wrong
He could 100% make some weird electronic music if he wanted to
@@KeManYT I woulda thrown a Daft Punk song over the footage and called it a day. thank goodness Gav is a harder worker than I am lmao
Those super close shots of the arcs destroying the disc were incredible
its funny toward the end they jokingly said "our channel is devolving" on arguably their coolest video to date haha, those disc shots were amazing
The 90 degree corners are surreal x
@@_WeDontKnow_It’s a disc in a microwave it’s not their coolest to date💀
“Incredible” lmao no
@@majesticeagle5461
You lost mate?
"I think our channel's devolving" - certainly not - this is peak RUclips right here :D
RUclips is devolving. This is the lucky bulwark.
I love when Gav's like "are you going to draw a funny face on it?" And you can just see Dan thinking about it, realizing it hadn't occurred to him, being a bit embarrassed it hadn't, even though you knew from the moment Gav said it that we'd be cutting to "Dan draws a silly face" as soon as he was done thinking.
“Is it a good idea to microwave this” was my original Slow Mo Guys, very greatful for this nostalgic throwback
Same here! I love the vibe of “blokes doing some science on the weekend.” Glad there’s still a market for it
Man that's a throwback. I remember binging that series when I was younger lol
I’m surprised that I found a comment mentioning that. It’s somewhat obscure lmao
And nobody likes roasted nuts!
I'll never forget the first time they microwaved the airbag, and they barely made it.
It will never stop being hilarious to me with how much your channel has grown, with all the specialized, expensive equipment and your own warehouse to film in, that it's still just some boys messing around like teenagers. Blowing up eggs, jumping on trampolines and putting Mentos in Coke. You're one of the few channels that's still retained its original feeling since day 1. The scope doesn't need to unreasonably expand forever for you two to still be endlessly entertaining. Please never change.
and the quintessential destroyed, slowly disintegrating lab coat.
Agreed. If anyone deserves 15 million viewers, it's them. Just two friends sharing what they enjoy doing on the weekends. None of the typical phony, pseudointellectual youtube garbage.
very well said, having watched them since 2012 they're one of the only channels that i've never moved on from because of exactly what you said. genuinely one of the best youtube channels of all time.
@@linebrunelle1004What's going to happen when it's unwearable?
@@devynnagy2707I’d expect they’ve got an answer for that. It’ll be patched up in some typically unique way, eg stapled together or something befitting their vibe
Can we all agree that Gavin never fails to get the most impressive shots?
Oh, absolutely. Gav's shots all bury Dan's. 😏

Gavin is a filming god but he's also killing it on the sound design, what a great vid
He outsources the sound design. Credit is in the description.
@@lenhisternah, that credit is just for the song at 4:08, pretty sure he still does all of the sound effect design.

There's something strangely familiar about all this... hahah.
If our little web show, "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?" was still around today - this is exactly the kind of shit Jory and I would likely be up to - so thanks for doing this. So cool to see, as usual. Hope you two are doing well 🙂
you guys and your show is EXACTLY what i thought of the second this video showed up in my feed, good times
The OGs themselves. You were pioneers for science youtubers.
So cool to see you put a comment!
I loved IIAGITMT, I watched so much of your show back in the day and this video really brought me back.
Maybe Gav and Dan can try some of your experiments and put them into Slo-Mo! That’d be super cool.
Nobody likes roasted nuts
I think I watched every video you guys put out, the show was amazing
@The SLow Mo Guys
I would love to see the CD done again in slow motion with 2 CDs in the Microwave staked on top of each other like pancakes. About 20 years ago I had a job where no one at the company liked the microwave and we had an abundant of old and or dead CD-r disks around. I found that stacking 1 on top of another one that the little arcs and plasma things would actually levitate the CD that was on top... This would be so cool to see again, especially done by you guys. Really love your channel and have been fan since almost the beginning...
+1 to this because I really want to see that!
bruh, this is such an obscure and niche thing. You were probably like 1 out of 3 people in the world that knew about this. Thanks for sharing with us!!
@@STS232323im curious who the other 2 are 🤔 I bet they have some crazy back story with ups and downs where you laugh and cry along the way when listening to their story.
Additional question if they return to microwaved CDs : does it make a difference if it's a blank disc or if it has something on it?
@@danghostman2814 that's an interesting question, and in theory it might; writing to a CD changes the surface of it, so you might get arcs a bit faster due to the rougher surface... but to know for sure we need to try it.
FOR SCIENCE!
4:00 and on, I got goosebumps. The visuals, the music. Well done guys! It looks impressive!
I got some real blade runner vibes
I started to tear up
Felt it too, brought a tear to my eye
I usually love how they don’t change the slow mo music but I LOVE the 80s future synth music they picked for that middle section.. it’s sooo fitting with the “Tron” looking footage!!
I thought it was some Blade Runner (1982) music
On the other hand, "Burning CDs" is kinda '90s vibe.
Shoutout to the sound design for your slow mo shots. You really make it feel like we're seeing something magical.
The sound design of these videos is oscar-worthy on its own, it blows my mind that gavin just does it himself with old free sound effects.
pretty sure he just used his mouth to make floppy wet sounds on a recent one @@estherstreet4582
@@estherstreet4582Gavin doesnt do it himself
Gav's cinematography and sound design skills are so incredible! 👏👏👏
He has a sound guy that does the slow motion sounds for these videos. The channel "smarter every day" uses the same guy also. Dude is a wizard
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist-
Spamming for Christ?
What's the goal here? Are you trying to recruit, or just get on peoples' nerves?
Thoroughly enjoyed your video! The detail you provided on the slowmo process, coupled with the humor you inject, makes for a unique and entertaining experience.
4:00 Discs of TRON moment.
"The Grid... a digital frontier..."
Exactly what I was thinking!!
In there! ... is our future!
In there, .... is our *Destiny*!
Can I just say, I LOVE the editing from 4:00 - 5:04!! Sound design is such an overlooked part of slow motion footage. This was so satisfying to watch and listen to!
Proper TRON vibes
Loads of people loving the sound design today.
This was one if the most immersive minutes of video i’ve watched in ages. Well done gents
Top tier quality!
I never thought one of my favorite visuals ever would be a CD in a microwave filmed in slow motion.
Gav's sound design has always been awesome, but this video just takes it to a completely new level. It was absolutely amazing.
He doesnt do it himself
Okaaay.... Alright. Starting at 4:21 has got to be some of THE coolest, most beautiful slow mo I've ever seen in my life! Seeing the sparks and plasma zip along the cd in a circular pattern creating the bubbling in its wake is so incredible to me! This is absolutely one of my fave slo mo vids you guys have ever done! 👏👏
Reminded me a lot of Posy. He's got some amazing macro stuff on lcd
Almost reminds me of those timelapses of like lab stuff growing in a petri-dish or something.
100% agree! Oppenheimer eat your heart out! SO COOL!
honestly i teared up at that part , surprised even myself with that
Agreed!
In every video, the quality of the sound design never ceases to amaze me, but this one is REALLY impressive! It's so amazing how much effort is put into making the sound effects, it gives another depth to the footage.
I was just about to comment how much I liked the sound tracks. Music with the CD sparking was caotivating.
I think this is the best video you have ever made. Making a CD in a microwave feel ethereal and cosmic is next level.
These videos are not only informative, beautiful and fun. They’re also super calming and positive all the way. Always cheers me up. You guys are amazing!
The CD slowmos are a literal siren for me. I just can't look away: mesmerizing is an understatement.
Lmao go outside
@@majesticeagle5461 you first
Why cant you look away from sirens ??
@@thing4826 >:(
Siren as in mythogy. Not police siren.
Sirens from mythology essentially trapped people, traditionally sailors, by singing (it's where "sirens song" comes from). So a person or sailor would get trapped by this siren.
Fun fact: That 12cm wavelength is what causes your food to heat up unevenly. Microwaves transfer more energy at the peak of their wavelength (every 12cm). This is why microwaves have a rotating table. Though there always seem to be parts that get less heat energy
This is why I always try to put the food at the edge of the tray instead of the middle, so none of it gets stuck in a cold spot 😄
It's also why they direct the magnetron at a metal fan. The fan reflects microwaves into the cooking chamber but because it is rotating the waves are scattered helping to prevent hot spots. The fan also doubles as an actual fan cooling the magnetron and rest of the electronics.
@@Whatsinanameanyway13Modern microwaves don't have the metal fan anymore, at least here in Europe.
The only one that I had come across so far that had one was a quite bulky brown unit likely from the early 80s.
I know from having disassembled so many of them...
Yet there are still schematics on the internet that show the waveguide and metal fan even though it's no longer part of new designs as far as real life microwaves go.
I always place the butter in the center for 15 seconds for better spreadability when it comes out of the refrigerator. It works best in the middle.
and that's why the MIDDLE is always not heated. all around is the end of the wave length. So you better put your food at the edge of the plate.
Man you guys are absolute legends, it’s inspiring to still see you making awesome content 13yrs down the line. I’ve been watching you guys since I was a senior in hs, I’m 32 now.
The sequence starting at 4:21 put me into an absolutely blissful trance. One could say a dazzling deep dream. It *sparked* thoughts I haven't had in awhile. Thanks for that. 🤌
So many of these shots look like they could be used in a sci-fi movie or something- 4:22 especially needs to be in the opening scene for a tv show.
i was thinking the same, its sooooo goooood.
4:18 - That is truly art.
I know you put a lot of work into the foley, but that work was compounded with that melancholy blade-runner-esque synth and those incredible close-up shots. Not to mention the colours, lighting, pacing... I was truly captivated; it felt otherworldly.
The music gave me Stranger Things vibe. That entire sequence felt like something straight out of a movie.
The title doesn't do it justice. This is amazing.
3:28 This is how I imagined Naruto vs Sasuke when I read the manga. Such a cool pattern
Steve Mould is a legend. Glad to hear him mentioned by bigger channels.
If Steve Mould is to my eyes as good as Veritasium and Smarter Every Day, Practical engineering and technology connections
8:20 "Does it got standard ears?" Truly, if there was an egg for Ian, this is AN EGG
Those close-up shots were gorgeous. Great sound design too, as always.
I've always wondered if these sort of videos help VFX artists hone their craft and make amazing looking visuals. Getting an idea about how things move, how fast, and how bright things really are.
There’s an effect in Solo: A Star Wars Story that was directly inspired by a Slow-Mo Guys video showing an underwater explosion
It really does help, especially the explosions😂
@@Booksds not inspired, im pretty sure they literally took it from a video
@@bradhaines3142 how does one *literally* take an underwater explosion from a video?
@@jacobcronk1844 there are videos about it, look it up. its identical footage for that part of the screen
Daniel and Gavin. I have been subscribed to your channel for almost a decade now. I remember watching your first videos about dropping mugs, popping popcorn and smashing lighters. I’m 25 years old now, and still watch every single video you put out. You two have been such a big part of my teenage years, and watching your videos and immerse myself into your universe has really helped me through some tough times. Your lovely friendship, your humor, and your passion for science is such an inspiration. Please keep doing what you’re doing ❤
Much, much love from Denmark 🇩🇰
me too except the denmark bit
Wow. For my money, your shots of the CDs are some of the best/coolest images I’ve seen on your channel. Especially the tiny bubble trails getting created by plasma arcs. Thank you for producing quality content.
This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Long time fan. Hands down. Thrilling.
Easily the best channel on RUclips. After all these years still putting out top grade content. Amazing.
My counter-argument would be that there are so many amazing channels on RUclips, and Gav & Dan are so good, that the ranking would actually be quite difficult 😅

@@stickiedmin6508 They’re all so fantastic I couldn’t possibly pick just five to be on top
I think this should be revisited with not just a CD-R but also with a CD-RW and a store bought Music CD since they are all made out of different materials. CD-RW have a crystal in them that melts and then re-hardens when the laser is blasts it. I would think it would look completely different then a CD-R.
This is some of the most unique and impressive footage you guys have captured in a long time!
Blew my mind
The audio mixing on this is soooo goooooood. The 80s sci-fi ambience with the techy sparks *chefs kiss*
Quite possibly one of the best light shows I have ever seen. And those shots and background sound between 4:00 and 5:03 were just incredible. Just took me to another world almost. Awesome work you two.
Having watched you guys for many years now, I’m always amazed when a video that pops up in my feed is brand new- always worth a look and a laugh Cheers!
Straight off the bat, I thank you for placing those led lamps in the background! Great colouring on my screen
This is without question my favorite video on this channel yet. Once they got to the close-ups it was just breathtaking.
You will fall in love with this dudes vids then www.youtube.com/@PosyMusic/videos he makes an art of very small subjects.
It wasn’t “breathtaking”
@@majesticeagle5461
Evidence suggests otherwise, yes?
@@majesticeagle5461Are you always this miserable?
@@TheThirdDarkmagic No, because I’m not being miserable
I immediately thought of Steve Mould's video. He had a hilarious exchange with his wife during that video that makes me randomly crack up at inopportune times.
2:20 that was cool
That camera movement
The editing and soundscaping were especially impressive, it enhanced what was already incredible to watch
"Limewire downloads..." LOL I havent heard the name Limewire in years, man that takes me back lol
Banger video, but that little shot at 8:50 has sent me into hysterics.
The CD looks like a Piece of Eden activating, so cool. Also Gav's editing in this video is world class!
Those close ups of the cds cracking was exactly what I wanted. Gorgeous video!
11:00 that egg needs to be the new channel mascot
Those close ups starting at around 4:20 are beautiful! Great choice of ambient music to go with it, too. Gave me similar vibes to some of those shots in Oppenheimer.
Amazing. One of the best ever! The Mass Effect type Tron music with the light pattern just took me on a journey at 4:00.
I've been watching you lads for a long time now and I just have to say, that was an exceptionally beautiful job right there.
That image of the disc all lit up is begging to be an album cover
The cinematography on this one is absolutely bonkers. Good job!
Whoever did the audio deserves an applause for this. Cutting together hundreds of individual sounds with the footage must have been a real challenge.
I’ve been watching you guys for so long I sometimes forget just how incredible the things we’re seeing are.
11:15 As we look at the egg in the oven you can hear in the sniggers before the 'devolving' comment the dawning realisation of the ridiculousness of it all! 🤣
lmao 1:45 "i don't think you know that" excellent reparte.
My god the sound design is on point! Video HAS to be watched with headphones.
This makes me want to see a return of “Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This?”. Especially with the technology and cameras now. You guys should bring that back!
My thoughts too
the kid in me who always wanted to put metal in the microwave but for obvious reasons never did, really appreciates this video! highly fascinating stuff! thanks guys
13:15 "I like how quickly we went straight to eggs, which have really nothing to do with electricity..."
Honestly, after the egg carnage, I'd forgotten that this video had started with CD's.
Thank you for doing this. I love showing people this and it looks so much better in slowmo
This is easily the greatest footage you guys have ever filmed.
FWIW, the wavelengths are:
🟥 620 to 750 nm
🟩 495 to 570 nm
🟦 450 to 495 nm
Ok, now try an Ostrich egg next! 😂
I second that!
I third that
This was honestly so good lmao. Please give us more microwave content!
I have always loved slo·mo videos, but you guys bring it to the next level.
*@The Slow Mo Guys*
*8:14** try a regular ("old"-school) incandescent light-bulb in the microwave,* they can look amazing, lots of purple sparks, but watch out, they shatter because of the heat difference & can fling molten glass around.
When you ran it at 80k you can see as the metallic material tears in one direction, the electric spark appears to be perpendicular to the direction of the tear, a spark across the gap. Almost like a Jacob's ladder. This is seriously one of the coolest looking things you've ever filmed. That first set of shots would make such an awesome looping desktop background video.
The fricking disk, burning, and glowing. That's the kind of visual effect you see on sci-fy vilain armor to show how powerful they are.
Canada Ontario here it’s been a while since I’ve actually sat down and watch you guys and I really like this video. Y’all are really funny y’all have a good times together.
The shots on that second CD were probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
Setting asside the entertainment value which is stellar, you guys are opening up a whole world that used to be invisible to us. It is kind of like when the first microscopes were used. Thank you so much!!!
@5:06 - that is a lot of light! Nearly made me put on sunglasses too 😎
Also, amazing how much detail you got of the cd being destroyed!
this is hands down the best thing you guys have captured
S-tier sequence at 4:00, absolutely stunning to watch. Great vid guys, hope you decide to do more experiments like these in the near future!
0:50 Gav - “a way to safely film it from the outside”
Dan - *literally drilling a hole*
😂
Masterful editing these two are legends
But it actually works, as they explained! I found that very interesting, I hope to remember it.
Impeccable sound design. And those close ups were mint
The all at once one is insane, I accidentally paused it at a point where it had just started and you just see a ton of green likes with what looks like mini explosions starting on the outer edge and the inner edge, so cool
That shot from 4:22 is so incredible, I think it's one of the most beautiful things you've ever filmed
This was editied beautifully, the music and sound effects were great. Absolutely love whenever a video gets posted here
The sound design on this is impeccable!
Every @theslowmoguys video feels like catching up with an old friend
the ambient music whilst slow motion fits so perfectly
If you've not already named the egg, might I suggest Eggy Pop.
I have to say this is inspiring. The one you did with the big bore gun was my favorite and seeing the explosion at the tip of the bullet which then allowed the bullet to glide straight through the gel like a submarine through water..absolutely awesome!!
I like how you can see the coding of the CD based on where the electricity jumps to next
Appreciation comment for the amazing sound you created for the slo-mo 🤯 4:40
at 1:16 dan confuses wave length and amplitude
tbh I don't think this is too bad, as long as you're blocking the hole again with the lens, and not standing directly in front of it
This has to be one of the coolest Slow Mos I've seen, especially the CD cracking close up. This is up there with the lightning storm in Singapore, also something very Half-Life about this vid, love it.
Gorgeous. Major TRON vibes from some of the darker footage, paired with perfect TRON-like music
Wtf, that sequence at 4 minutes in shows just how insanely good of a director gavin is, that is one of the most cinematic things I've seen in recent memory. Feels like a space movie.
