Grapes Burning Microwave at Jai Reading blog

Grapes Burning Microwave. Cut a grape in half, pop it in the microwave, hit start — then sit back and be dazzled by the grape balls of fire. When a grape is cut nearly perfectly. Now, physicists think they know why this happens. Here’s the science of what actually causes grapes to spark in a microwave, and how we figured it out. Yes, if you microwave a grape it can explode in a violent, dangerous fireball in your microwave oven. When the field is strong enough to ionize the sodium and potassium ions in the grapes, it results in a tiny fireball. In a plethora of internet videos, kitchen scientists have cut a grape almost in half—leaving just a strip of skin connecting the two sides—and stuck it in the microwave. 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. Microwaving grapes is a surefire way to get your hands on some plasma—and an elevated risk of burning down your apartment. Scientists finally figured out why grapes spark in the microwave and it might have implications for surgery, space. And there are dozens of youtube videos and scientists who have wondered.
