A bisected grape in the microwave makes plasma. But how does it work? A grape is the right size and refractive index to trap microwaves inside it. When you place two (or two halves) close together the fields interact with each other creating a maximum of electromagnetic energy where they touch. This creates heating, sparks, and plasma, which is further fed with energy directly by the microwaves. Huge thanks to Hamza Khattak, Prof. Pablo Bianucci and Prof. Aaron Slepkov (unavailable for the call) for chatting to me and helping me understand the physics of this cool phenomenon.

Day 15 of Quarantine, I’ve started microwaving grapes
Day 100 of quarantine:
I made a time machine by microwaving a banana
Lol
It's almost September. Has anyone of you adapted to this yet or is it just me?
Microwaving my dick day 80 quarantine 🤤
Day ??? Of ???????? I've started to eat the microwaved grapes
Imagine being the person who found this out
He just wanted some cooked grapes
Worrm græyp
We all pay for our sins.
Just imagine his reaction
he put two because he's a maniac of symmetry
Lol

Who came here to see a microwaved grape and not to accidentally join a science lesson?
Wait people didn’t want the lesson
You mean you saw “How microwaving grapes makes plasma” and you DIDNT expect a science lesson?
I came here after almost burning down my kitchen and starting to investigate

Hehe

Does this glitch still work or did it get patched yet?
@Nicholas Nul lol

Eh!
They were exploiting this bug to make smaller chips...

Can you people stop commenting this it's NOT funny.
Science Guy: explains all the deep stuff.
Me: how many minutes do i heat up the grapes for!??!
SuperEmitt oh okay. i was confused about the ‘whoo who needs drugs’ part-
@•ZAesthetics • Yeah that is what the guy said in one of the parts but by the time he watched what was happening and said that it was over.
SuperEmitt oh loll
@•ZAesthetics • Yeah I want to get me some green and red grapes set up a camera and an old microwave about 50 yards from the house turn it on for 20 minutes and see what happens. It could be fun. Anyhow, take care stay well, and be safe.
SuperEmitt that’s cool & you too

Imagine if they microwaved grapes for the lols and accidentally discovered time travel.
Grapes:gate

Nah it's only possible through a banana
Haha
My girlfriend threatened to put my grapes in the microwave.
literally makes your grapes on fire
Dont worry when you get married takes them from you and keeps it in her purse.
wasn't sure whether to click thumbs up or thumbs down. heh
@jeannie elliott thumbs down
Where do you find the grapes?
None of the lemonade shops seem to have them.
The sun is just some grapes being micro-waved in the sky
@:west fly: True. Mild confusion may be a slight theme in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. However, when the dynamic duo of Depp and DiCaprio played Gilbert and Arnie it is said to have sparked a new microwave of method acting that was a leading role to developing full immersive scenarios that reshape and create alternate mind pathways.
Looking for the Captain Obvious in these comments...
Change my mind
Except there's no second grape
ARE YOU A GOD ???
How you know how the Sun is made in reality...

1000% of people who watched this probably went to their microwave and blew it up...
So, if I put my head in the microwave, then my eyes would literally shoot plasma?
Awesome! Thanks Veritasium for giving everyone such inspiration to experiment!
Learning is fun!
Yeah, thanks Veritasium!
The 36 Lessons nope, youll just be trapped in a vr world.
Just did it, I'm about to sign with the X-men
Underrated comment 😂
End the surgeries
End the microwaving
grape lives matter
@Ice angel it doesn't.....DUMBASS
Arnt surgeries performed to repair the grapes?
@Gold Dissent Yes it is!!!
This is going to start a fruit war..
(Better brace for impact!)
.
I’d like to think that some mouth-breather just threw a grape in a microwave one day and discovered this.
Ok, nose breather.
where my eye breathers at? 👀
@that one fan girl when you can breathe through your left pinky toe is when you'll impress someone. Start with your ears first though.
Ok, elbow breather
Turtles are butt breathers.
1:16 some kid trying to get them to shrink: "Why do I hear boss music?"
Questions:
1. Does it smell
2. Will it break my microwave

“The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed...”
My question, like most weird things, is who tf cut a grape in half and microwaved it?
When I saw this the first thing that came to mind was, "Plasma Bender".
No one:
YouTube: Wanna see how to create plasma by microwaving grapes???
these grapes are gonna need surgery after this
@skythe rac imagine copying and pasting but coming out better
@oceano How??? Lmao
@oceano it was just a joke brawlhalla is way different than smash bros I also have played brawlhalla and liked it I main mordex
Dead Memes Rock!
You missed that one by Aprox. 9 years
My question is why and how would even do this in the first place? “yeah I’ll microwave a grape!”
Grape too cold :(
That’s why they say make a hole in center of plate so it can start heating
"Water absorbs microwaves"
Me: That's literally not possible... unless
Let me think this through
Absolutely no one:
Scientist: let's microwave grapes
Hmmm, What if I use 3 Grapes ? ( Mushroom-cloud covers Europe)
@Luke Work Who told you?
@Luke Work u predicted the future
@Luke Work u predicted 2020 before 2020
Hmmm, What if i use 3 grape ?
Universe blow up
@Luke Work This comment didn't age well :/
3:03 this man looks like Tony Stark....
i love you 3000
Ah yes, my little brain is confused now
"WHO NEEDS DRUGS!" lol

🌟 Instead of the Star Wars crystals. We'll use grapes to power our rifles. 🌚
YES
"If you don't have grapes tho, u can still use hydrogel water beads." Like everyone has hydrogel water beads but not grapes😂
r/wooosh
They’re literally orbeez’s lmao
@Austin Hess worst "joke" I think I've ever read. You must not know kids very well if you think they don't like grapes.
@N Logan bruh 😂. You're right though about that bad joke
Orbeezzz

I was wondering what would happen if we use 3 grapes, or infact even more grapes. Would it create some sort of firework art!?
try it
It only creates very shrecc like looking grapes
