What Happens? 1kg of Silver and Pure Alcohol in a Microwave? (Patreon)

While making the last video debunking the Zorb, I realized that I really didn’t know that much about microwaves. This is one of the reasons why I had my thermal camera at such a standoff-ish distance- a fried thermal camera would indeed be cause for many a spilled tear.

In the end I got to questioning stuff that I had been taught 20 years ago in university, but had never really questioned. Are microwaves really tuned specifically to water? The answer seems to be a fairly conclusive no!  Microwaves will heat basically any liquid with a dipole.

Maybe at this point Ive spent too long in quarantine! :-P
