Make Plasma Out of a Grape in a Microwave Without any Dangerous Fumes

O_o

What is plasma, anyway? I don’t know. All I do know about it is that Its the lesser-known fourth state of matter and is usually found in stars. ( 8/ ) Who cares!? its a cool experiment. The effect is sort of like a flame of fire that flies up into a ball coming up out of a cut up grape about 1/16 its size and disappears through the ventilation. Learn how:

1. Take a grape and cut it in half the fat way, but so that a tiny bit of skin is keeping the grape together.

2. Open it up and set it on a paper towel so that the previously unexposed part of the grape is touching. .This will dry the wet part of the grapes.

3. If you do this correctly, both halves of the grape should be hanging onto each other by just a hair, and the whole thing from above should look like a lil’ purple gludious maximums.

4. Turn off the turntable from your microwave.

5. Take the grapes off of the paper towel and put them in the microwave, and set them down just like they were before. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT leave the paper towel under the grapes when you put them in. The plasma will burn the paper towel, and naturally set flame to your microwave ( Well, whats the problem with that? )

6. OK. Push the add thirty seconds button on your microwave and let the show begin!

Also, you may have seen another experiment going around that shows you how to make plasma with a match and a vase. They say that the gas with an acrid smell in this experiment is the dangerous NO2. The acrid smell in this experiment is just a soggy burnt grape and contains no NO2 whatsoever.

Nobody who has done this experiment has ever harmed their microwave.
