What are some cool experiments that can be done with microwaves?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

- Grape Plasma- This involves superheating gas in a microwave using grapes to start the arc. All you need are grapes, a knife, and a microwave.
2. Expanding Peeps: This involves microwaving marshmallow peeps, which causes them to expand.

One experiment I saw online is shown below, and remember this is at your OWN RISK.
1. Take an old CD or CD-R and put it in the oven, standing up. Put it against a glass cup or so. Don't use any metal as a holder. It will look like the image shown below. This image is a computer generated and rendered image from Carl Licke / Turbid design but the CD part in the middle is an actual taken picture. Notice the difference in the pattern that will show up in the metal layer in the CD between a normal silver CD and a green or gold or blue CD-R. Make sure you don't inhale the gas that comes out of the CD. It's not too good for your health, so they say ;-] Note that the CD will be unusable afterwards!
