I mean he was microwaving a banana earlier in the video @@GolDx696
You are an absolute treasure.
Agreed an amazing young man. His mind and capabilities are note worthy as well as yours sir.
after seeing you casually play with nitrogen triiodide while waiting in line at a restaurant, I'd argue that you are even more of a treasure lol
And youre a animal (chicken etc) abuser and torturer
Cody’s Lab/Styropyro collab is what the youtube wants. Feed the youtube.
@@styropyro I would love a collab video

@@CountPantsulon What kind of shit is this replying to someone with their own comment but censoring them?
@@omnombrains It's the same censorship Styropyro does to himself, which is why it's funny. I personally couldn't give two shits about profanity. Calm down.
I will not calm down because fuck that and fuck you too, it's a expression of freedom of speech, but in all reality I'm just looking for the input voltage of the transformer lol occasionally I repair microwaves and I sent it to my boss and he only had questions lol@@CountPantsulon
That's exactly what I said when I saw it. That thing is UNDERSIZED?!
i just realized you are the oldest channel i have subbed to that i still interact with. 12 years 10 months. way to go man you've made something special.
Thank you

Its just Aurora Borealis
@@coin777 Aurora Borealis?!! At this time of year, in this part of the country, at this time of day, localized entirely within your kitchen!?!?
Styropyro comment section is the best thing ever
The face of that one technician at the power distribution station as one random household suddenly starts to draw 20kW from grid: Priceless.
One of 2 scenarios:
“Hmmm, intermittent spikes at a random household, must be a glitch in the equipment”
OR
“Hey, Styropyro is at it again”
I think a central air conditioning unit's startup draw is around that; so it would be normal
@@Menuki Honestly I'd guess the local techs all know who he is since he's probably had his hookup upgraded at least twice.
@@kugeltmg In one of apartments I've lived in, the breaker to the unit itself was only a hundred amps. Twelve thousand watts would have cut off the electricity at the power meter, regardless of anything else.
That said, I looked at the breaker box in my apartment now and discovered that the breaker for the dryer is 60 amps and the breaker for the range is 100 amps. So maybe there are higher standards these days.
@kugeltmg of course depends on the size of the air conditioning unit and by extension of the area being serviced by the unit, but no. The heating element or the heat pump providing the cooling draws only a fraction of that kind of power. The fans creating the circulation of air draw a fraction of those two.
Aurora borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?
Yes!

Imagine being that microwave. Getting pulled out of your decades-long retirement, becoming a genetically enhanced supersolider, and laying waste to everything you see
It's like captain America, but instead of explaining him by saying he was frozen in ice to get to the modern day, Steve Rogers was just 90+ year old war vet.

So an Ultramarine microwave, or... Ultrawave.
@@Oxykobl "Peace or glory?" "The choice is obvious"
"before your retirement, we have one last job for you" ass comment
"In fact, when i was 13 yrs old, i acquired 2 400lb barrels of sodium, but thats a story for another day" No the actual f*heck*k it is not. Tell us that story now mr funny laser man
real. i would not mind a whole video on a teen acquiring enough sodium to vaporise a house though...
RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!
I remember him saying that at OpenSauce and am dying to hear more about it
It HAS to be either surplus military or from an old lab. Didn't Cody's lab acquire a bunch of mercury that he spent way too much time messing around with?
90% chance the story starts with him trying to buy a five gallon bucket of cesium on craigslist.
"This chunk if sodium is nothing, when i was 13 i obtained 2 400 lb barrels of solid sodium" had me flabbergasted lol
That honestly explains quite a lot
I honestly would love to hear that story.... not sure when ANYONE finds a 400lb barrel of metallic sodium...

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed he got it or could afford it.
I barely understand how three phase power works and this guy is boiling air in his basement with gear he clearly stole from a substation somewhere.
That last plasma was life changing though.
Lmao 😅
“It’s actually kind of funny I’m even allowed to own this” describes about 90% of this guys experiments at this point
more like 99%
A strange sentiment for a member of an allegedly free society to have.

@@Sonny_McMacssonyou're so smart and impressive wow [puts you in the microwave]
Me watching most any YouTuber: “Yay - a new video”
Me watching Styropyro: “Yay, he’s still alive”
I literally shot out of my chair, both because of happiness that there is a new video, but also because he's not dead.
@@xaviersoto3884 same lol
I too came for this - was worried it was an old upload
Hell I thought next video is going to be an obituary. Glad I was wrong tho.
Styro and Valgear are the two channels that I check in on to make sure they are alive lol
a 13 year old styropyro with unfettered access to 800 pounds of metallic sodium is a truly frightening concept

@@Ryan_Alt-p7n More like... double-crosses themselves 🙃
That's how you know he's older than he looks, no way in hell a 13 year old is getting their hands on that much reactive material after like 1995
@@atomicanachronism8849
Oh yeah, after 1995… Totally
dying to know the story behind that
just when i think the project couldnt get more dangerous it comes with a free bark scorpion💀
Honestly, the most satisfying part of this video is knowing that the Macrowave can cook a Hot Pocket evenly in 10 seconds and pop a full bag of popcorn in under 30, without burning it.
Truly a superior appliance in all regards.
ALL regards.
I don’t acknowledge any risks and think this should be in every home.
It's like a maxed and fully modded starter weapon

Hey - I've been watching your channel for a while and I'm already a huge fan - great job!
I have an idea for you that might work: I recently watched a film called "Dangerous People Panel | Open Sauce 2023" in which electroBoom said something like "I wish we could target the arc to the target" (he ment certain direction). And in this very moment I thought: what if we could use a laser and create a laser-induced plasma channel (LIMC) next to the Tesla coil? Perhaps it would cause the lightning from the coil to follow the path of this channel? In this way a directional Tesla coil would be created ⚡
You're probably the best person to try this (or maybe you already tried and i missed it?)
greetings and keep it up! 💪
P.S.: maybe some day I'll try to do same thing on my channel 🤔
Now you can bake a cake for 2 minutes at 3500°
try .2 of a second
Hey, it’ll definitely be sterilized… along with ionized.
That one phineas and ferb episode moment
But is it yellow cake?
Or a full frozen turkey at in minutes!
It’s so incredible how most of the food is just actually cooking in seconds rather than becoming some burnt emulsified nightmare brick.
a microwave that can cook hot pockets and melt tungsten, interesting
@@recon_laksh742Well it can "melt" tungsten but still seeing other metals to just disappear within seconds is still terrifying
Microwaves do not directly apply heat to the surface of food. Instead, they cause asymmetric molecules to flip back and forth as the wave passes through them. We exploit this to vibrate water which is asymmetric do to the tug of the hydrogen atoms on each other. This excites the water into steam, cooking without burning and without all the delicious flavors that caramelization achieves. Non-conductive symmetric molecules are oblivious to what's going on, even in this legendary oven.
@@recon_laksh742 Forget melting tungsten. This thing crumples empty bags of chips pretty well, space saver for my trash bin!
Dude ordered a 16,000 watt magnetron and instead received a scorpion which he kept as a pet.
This kind of thing is exactly the reason I watch this channel.
It sounds so unhinged. I love it.

OMG! I'm so glad to see you're okay. I've been kinda worried for you since you posted about your health. I had freaky body chemistry when I was around your age too. They never figured out why and it turned out to not effect me my whole life. I was hoping that for you too. Seeing your okay made my holiday season! Take care. ❤
Wow this is terrifying and amazing.... I feel we need a Slow Mo Guys collab for this
Absolutely seconded. I love the videos where he teams up with other youtubers and they gawk at how insane he is
Or a Nerdforge collab. Turn the microwave oven into an epic wizards workshop or something
That was my exact first thought when I saw the plasma globe explode, I want to see that exposed properly on a phantom

@@jamesheaton5421mfer Really is an evil scientist
The “is it a good idea to microwave this?” Must love this video
What happens when you macrowave a microwave?
I actually died at the ''I bought this cute distribution transformer'' HOW
As far as those things go, that IS a cute little one. I've seen a few smaller ~5kVA ones that power only street lights. I'll have to pay attention next time I'm at my farm to see what size they installed for a single 200A (240V) service - that powers a 20A well pump. The one at my shop is 35kVA.
Mad Scientist Ebay. Not available on this dimension's Internet.
Usually with money. They aren't crazy expensive and can be bought online. I threw out a few from my last job that we didn't use. They're readily available.
Unfortunately we're not allowed to have fun any more, but back in the day (the 90s or so) you could just ask the local power company nicely and they'd give you some decommissioned transformers or let you pick though their dumpster. The transformers are full of oil and cost a bunch of money to recycle (they used to be filled with cancer juice, look up PCBs). Same for the dumpsters, most of the stuff had no scrap value and they had to pay to get rid of it. Old utility poles, crossarms, conduit, so much good stuff.
@@TravelingStacker How not crazy expensive?
The magnetron is so powerful they had to include a scorpion as an armed escort to stop such a powerful device falling into the wrong hands!
LMAOOOOO
It wasn't enough...
@@spugintrntlwho said that styropro was the wrong hands? That scorpion completed its mission
I play Fallout: he lives it. He gets rare items protected by scorpions.
So true lmao
Apparently pickles yell under 6 kW AM RF, and scream under 20 kW microwave radiation.
I prefer cooking my grapes until they are getting possessed
My brain narrated that in a JerryRigEverything glass scratch test voiceover.

I understood that reference lol
no one ever asks how pickle is?

someone working in the power distribution industry here, as you said you need something better than 20 microwave transformers i thought of our spare transformers in stock
i did not expect you to ACTUALLY GET SUCH A TRANSFORMER
My exact thinking, I never understand how people get such insane equipment. I thought grid gear was super regulated. But then again, how dose Drake have 90% of the gear he has.
@@hurley2609drake has a long gear for sure
In the US it's more likely to be regulated if you can easily get high off it than it is to make something Geneva banned with it
@@_CRiT_hits_lmao
@@hurley2609 I mean, the most obvious answer is it fell off a truck, landed at a pawn shop, and got sold off on Ebay before whoever lost it could go looking for it
Now microwave a microwave with it.

@@ALLAHISGREAT1994regular microwave though if i remember right
Haha his speech pattern makes me think he has heads in his freezer
the plate shattering over and over after seconds of silence was the funniest punchline in the whole video, except for maybe the screen going completely white after he turned the oven on
this is the plot of captain america i think
If you look closely, at 17:01 there seems to be lightning/arcing coming of the microwave in three directions. (Unless it's a video glitch.)
Just wanted to say thanks for your amazing videos. That car battery array was nuts. I hope you're on the mend, as we say in Scotland.
thanks! i'm actually planning on adding many more car batteries to the bank and doing an even crazier vid :D

the most shocking thing about all of this is just how good it was at evenly cooking food. it kinda has me flabbergasted
I haven’t seen a comment like this other than you. I COMPLETELY AGREE IT WAS AWESOME‼️
As microwaves are reflected off the inner metal walls of the appliance, their wave patterns cross each other such that the peaks in the waves tend to fill in the space between peaks of other waves, this creates a more uniform field of peaked energy. Regular microwaves don't do this nearly as effectively because they're 1KW and not 20KW. If I'm speculating, I would say microwave ovens are designed with specific interior dimensions in order to maximize the effectiveness of this phenomina.
I knew shit was gonna be hype when I heard the phrase "Let me show you the startup sequence." in reference to using a microwave.
im scared even though im watching it from miles away & weeks after the fact😮💨
