Just in case you ever thought about putting a cigar in the microwave!

[Starz26]

Don't

I do wonder if the cigar was not lit if it would have the same effect or if anything was added to the cigar as I cannot see this happening otherwise since it is organic material just like anything else.....

Anyone willing to give it a shot

Ok I can explain this, it is minerals that are on the leaf. Go get some frozen green beans and cook them in the microwave. It is mineral deposits on the item that causes the sparks in the microwave.

Thanks Mr. Wizard !!

Works with a candle, too. I don't know all the science behind it, but the basic idea involves the burning material releasing plasma as it passes through the hot spots created by the standing waves. Plasma is basically conductive gas, hence the ball lightning.

There's a bunch of videos of the phenomenon on youtube.

Both of these are true but I think what we are seeing here is what Charles is talking about.

I never thought about doing this but good to know if I ever want to ruin a cigar and microwave at the same time.

 

[diverbh4]

That looks interesting...and thanks Charles for the explanation, I didn't learn that one in school unfortunately.

I think I'll stick to peeps in the microwave :skew:

 

[ciggy]

I can honestly say...What the hell was that all about and why and for what reason:scratchhe

Something about peeps in the microwave *really* freaks me out. I can't explain it.

For another interesting microwave game, try an old CD on high for 4-6 seconds with the room lights off. Even though it's a short run you may want to toss a glass of water in there with it so you don't burn out the magnetron. I've done it a few times and never hurt my microwave, but YMMV. Also, be aware it will smell bad and the CD will never play again.

I thought about sticking a cigar in the nuker once, to dry box it faster... LOL...

HUUUURRM!?

 

[mcroom]

That as a waste of a good microwave with a bad stick!
