This video details an experiment where various live grenades and explosives were placed inside a microwave to observe their reactions to microwave radiation. Conducted by Demolition Ranch with an explosives expert, the tests revealed that most explosives did not detonate from microwave heat alone, with a flashbang being the exception that destroyed the microwave. The video emphasizes the inherent dangers and the need for professional handling of such materials.
This video from Demolition Ranch explores the dangerous effects of microwaving magnesium. Initial tests show sparks and green flames, while a larger sample causes the microwave to short-circuit due to intense heat. The experiment highlights the challenges of extinguishing metal fires, even with specialized suppressants. The video also features a montage of firearm-related content from the channel.
This experiment demonstrates that placing a box of 12 gauge shotgun shells in a microwave causes them to burn and melt rather than explode conventionally. The shells combusted, producing significant smoke and flame, ultimately fusing into a mass of plastic, lead shot, and brass. The video highlights the importance of safety precautions during such experiments.
This video documents a 'Microwave Monday' experiment where Demolition Ranch's Matt and 22Plinkster place CR123A 3V lithium batteries in a microwave. The experiment results in significant arcing, an explosion, and toxic smoke, highlighting the extreme dangers of microwaving lithium batteries. The aftermath shows melted batteries fused to the microwave plate, underscoring the severe fire and chemical hazards involved.
This video details an experiment where a .50 BMG round was placed inside a microwave to test its detonation potential. The experiment involved building a protective bunker and multiple microwave cycles. The .50 BMG round eventually detonated, blowing the microwave door open, though the host noted it lacked the velocity of a fired round. The microwave, surprisingly, remained functional.
DemolitionRanch, known for unique tests, conducted an experiment to see if live .22LR ammunition would discharge in a microwave. After building a protective bunker, they found that after a 5-minute microwave cycle, the .22LR rounds began to cook off, resulting in shredded casings and powder residue, but no penetration of the microwave door. The expert demonstrated significant safety awareness by constructing a ballistic bunker.
