Watch a microwave explode lamps and generate plasma [video]

Of all the appliances in your home, it is very likely that your microwave oven is potentially the most dangerous. And we've already pointed this out more than once in our stories: Because it can easily heat the molecules of almost any object, it's even possible to fuse metal and explode cell phones or other items (but nothing to heat up a simple dish) of food, isn't it?).

Of course, unfortunately, a device with a “mysterious” function (which is not even mysterious at all), as it turns out to be shrouded in myth, to the point that some people believe that it is not really dangerous to people. . Now if you know someone like that, just show the video above to change their mind.

In the record, made by the Kreosan channel, a magnetron (the microwave oven component) is used in conjunction with a metal can to direct its energy waves. Then just approach a lamp to the open part of the can: in a moment, incandescent lamps begin to melt, as the gas inside it heats to the point of becoming plasma. You can even observe the pattern of waves passing through the object for the few seconds it lasts before it simply explodes.

The effect on fluorescent lamps is a little different, but no less impressive. This is because, although they also begin to melt after long exposure, the microwaves are able to power the object, which lights up much brighter than it normally would.

It is worth noting that this is not the first video we bring about the damage that a microwave oven can generate: a year ago we presented a similar record, also made by the YouTube channel, where the same mechanism is used for frying a stereo in seconds. Check it out below if you don't remember:

Were you surprised? So imagine what such an oven would do to you. In fact, the destructive potential of this is such that China has come to develop a microwave gun that boils human body water, while an effort between German and French police has resulted in a weapon that renders a car's controls unusable. escape. Well, one more item on the list of things that should not come close to one of these devices ...
