Microwaving Driver Disks

You know those miniature Chinese-Language driver CDs which come with eBay electronics? I had too many floating around my place. This is what they look like after a few seconds in the microwave :-)




Note: Arcing will likely scorch whatever's under the CD, so do it on an old plate or somesuch. Place a glass of water in the oven at the same time as the CD. Water will soak up unused energy and prevent a standing wave from forming, potentially damaging the magnetron.

mental writes... Haha, that's awesome. What about the microwave is it safe to try it with mine? Doesn't the microwave get busted or broken in some sort of way? I have so many CDs lying around that I'm not using. And I would really like to see the cool arching effect on them :D website: http://mentalmind.info posted: 2010-07-22 01:56:41
