@W6KME @ai6yr Reminds me of a fun thing to do with a grape -- slice it in half lengthwise, then put the two pieces in the microwave, cut side up, with the pieces as close together as you can without touching. It will arc between the two pieces.

This demonstrates that thing where the E field is highest near a sharp point or corner.

that is so cool!

when i was in the service on midnight shift, we did all sorts of "things to do in someone else's microwave" but i never knew this one.

things we did do:

- microwave a CD
- microwave a wooden pencil
- microwave a york peppermint patty
- grape races


@paul_ipv6 @obot50549535 @W6KME Grape races?! Tell me more. (maybe not, hide that from the kids...)
