Let me know if this video is more tasteful and worthy of being made public. if so I'd like to get it online asap since I haven't uploaded in a while.

Fruit Flies Inside A Microwave

I show what happens to small things inside of a microwave; I also show how to film inside. Help me make videos by donating here: https://www.patreon.com/CodysLab

Just by the title i knew it had something to do with the microwave. lol We all know what happen when we put metal in the microwave, what about metal dust (smaller than the fly))?

I'm guessing as long as it was dispersed, nothing. But as soon as enough metal dust clumps together, zap.

It's much more tasteful and worthy of publication. Give the people the video (and microwave filming secrets)!

Thus, the *volume* of the water matters when trying to heat it (in addition to the fact that it's a polar molecule)?

Much better, plus there's some nice explination of the mechanics. Though it's a bit sad that the grape didn't turn into a plasma lamp, I guess maybe the jar kept that from happening somehow.

looks good to me!

I never got too deep in the microwave heating principles, but in the university I was taught that the heating generated by microwaves is due changing the orientation of the molecules, only occurring to molecules that have dipole moment. Never heard of the food conducting current. This videos is much more tasteful.

The grasshopper was more spectacular, but this is much less likely to get you on a ALF list.

I enjoyed it! I definitely said how the heck did he film that when I saw inside the microwave. So the explanation was much appreciated. Well made video Cody. Lots of good info.

I approve of this message.

This is perfect! Give it to the masses!

Yep, much better. Plus it's actually more interesting because you explained more.

Your explanation of wavelength and interactions was very informative. It would be good to compare microwave 'leakage' between standard and your hardware cloth idea- many people are paranoid about microwaves !

I agree with Arthur, I like this a lot more than the grasshopper, because you explain more. With 13 minutes, rather than less than 3 of the grasshopper one, you had time to do so, and show it. I do like the fact that you modified the microwave so we had a better view of the jars and contents. I think doing this video with grasshopper being so visible would be ... interesting, but a bit gross. Definitely better to see grape boil than grasshopper. (I actually thought you were going to leave grape intact at first. That would have produced a similar POP as the 'hopper. [and will admit, I hadn't seen the 'hopper one, till I went back and looked to see what this was more tasteful than.]) I knew the basics of this, but your descriptions/explanations really brought it home.

Much more pc friendly. I'm glad we got to see the grasshopper pop though hahaha

Good stuff. Grasshopper was a bit gratuitous.

Much better!

No animal was harmed without purpose. Great!

Loved that camera wizardry, I hope no vegans were offended with the grape abuse! Hahaha

Better but minor mistakes in the explanation. Infrared has a wavelength only 5 times that of light not 1000. As you make the hole in the microwave bigger more radiation will escape, especially close to the hole where it could fry your camera. Check out evanescent waves for an explanation.

I know so much more about microwaves and why CD's would fry and the occasional accidental metal fork in a glass bowl would create sparky mayhem. Thank you Cody!

The video you posted was much better. The grape spewing its guts allover the jar was much more pc. Thanks for changing.

So based on your description how does rice (or other foods that are made up of small separate grains) heat up in the microwave? Would the same amount of rice collected in a glass bowl heat faster than the same amount spread out on a glass plate?

hey sissy... now you dont have anything to complain about...

Thanks for the grasshopper video anyway, it was way more exciting and thought inducing👍🏼👍🏼

did the infrared camera show any heating of the fruit fly's?
