microwave experiments
UME3
I was trying to get the sand to melt and fuse. A thin layer of sand appears to have melted but it didn't melt further into the bulk sand. Molted sand may not be conductive enough to absorb the energy directly.
UME5
This is the result of the sand+soda+lime experiment. I can't really tell if any new glass was formed. The glass is stuck to the clay saucer.
UME1
Some sand coated glass which was heated in a 600W microwave oven.
UME2
The glass after cooling.
UME4
Another batch of glowing glass but this time I mixed soda and lime with the sand.
