This video from Demolition Ranch explores the dangerous reaction of magnesium when heated in a microwave. While entertaining, it demonstrates significant fire hazards and the ineffectiveness of standard fire suppressants like Cold Fire on metal fires. The experiment highlights the extreme heat and light produced by burning magnesium, ultimately destroying the microwave.

This video details an experimental test involving loading an AR-15 magazine with steel-cased .223 ammunition and placing it inside a microwave. The experiment, conducted by Matt Carriker, demonstrates the effects of heat and pressure on ammunition, resulting in a deformed magazine and expelled bullets. Safety precautions, including the use of cinder blocks, were employed, but the video highlights the inherent dangers of such tests.

This video from DemolitionRanch showcases a destructive test involving a loaded Glock 18 9mm magazine placed inside a microwave. The experiment highlights the potential dangers and unpredictable results of exposing firearms components to extreme heat and pressure, demonstrating the rapid failure and projectile expulsion that can occur. The host, Matt Carriker, provides a casual yet informative look at the consequences of such an experiment.

This video demonstrates an experimental procedure of microwaving a box of Federal Game-Load 12 gauge shotgun shells. The experiment, conducted by firearms enthusiast Matt Carriker in a concrete bunker, shows the shells reacting to microwave radiation, resulting in melting and combustion. The content highlights safety considerations and the physical changes ammunition undergoes under extreme heat, offering a unique, albeit non-standard, look at material science related to firearms components.

This video from Demolition Ranch, hosted by Matt Carriker, explores the effects of microwaving napalm. While the napalm itself does not ignite in the microwave, it boils and cracks the container. Adding metallic components like birdshot and shell casings induces sparking. A controlled burn outside the microwave confirms the napalm's flammability. The video highlights experimental safety measures, including protective shielding.

This entry details a 'Microwave Monday' experiment where Demolition Ranch and 22Plinkster placed CR123A 3V Lithium batteries in a 700-watt microwave. The experiment resulted in significant arcing, an explosion, toxic smoke, and melted batteries fused to the microwave plate. It serves as a stark warning against microwaving lithium batteries due to severe fire, explosion, and chemical hazards.

This video details an experiment involving placing glow sticks in a microwave to observe their reaction to heat. The host, Matt, demonstrates how heat significantly intensifies the glow but ultimately causes the plastic casing to burst. The experiment highlights the science of chemiluminescence and includes safety precautions like proper ventilation. The host also briefly showcases a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380 handgun.
