Grapes Light On Fire In Microwave. Cut a grape in half, pop it in the microwave, hit start —. For years, the internet has hemmed and hawed over a mysterious yet universal truth: A trio of researchers with mcmaster, concordia and trent universities has solved the mystery of why pairs of grapes ignite into fireballs when cooked together in a microwave oven. Popular online explanations usually say that the grape halves act like an antenna, and they somehow direct microwaves onto the small bridge of skin to ignite the initial spark. Heat the fruit in a microwave for a few seconds. A grape, sliced nearly in half and placed in the microwave, will suddenly begin to spit plasma. Viral internet videos have shown this kitchen light show, which occurs when a halved grape (with the halves still connected by skin) gets blasted with radiation in a microwave. From the grape erupts a small plasma fireball — a hot mixture of electrons and electrically charged atoms, or ions. When you put two grape hemispheres close together in a microwave oven, they put on a spectacular light show.
