What would gasoline in a microwave do?
- Thread starter EyeMWing

It will evaporate and the fumes will travel to a source of ignition and there will be a flash fire that will burn the hair off your scrotum.

You may want to reinforce the microwave door with something, like duct tape on the outside, just incase it blows too quickly after starting it up and sends shards of glass/plastic flying out of the microwave directly at you. Otherwise, if you do it outside in a fire pit or something, I'd be interested in hearing about/seeing the results of your experiment

We MUST have pics!
oR EVEN better, VIDEOS!
I can do that.
You know, I have a old microwave and some black powder... Umm
I wonder what black powder would do?:evil:

It would vaporize.. and the slightest spark would most likely ignite it. Since the microvave is realitivly sealed, it would be quite.. booming.

The gasoline will vaporize however I doubt there would be an explosion. There would be a flash upon ignition but that would, more than likely, be all that would happen.
Gasoline does not burn, per se, but it ignites. If you douse your house in gasoline and light it, the gasoline vapors would ignite but it is the other combustible material that would actually burn. A significant amount of gasoline will remain after the house is burned.
Again if you did the experiment I think the gasoline would vaporize and ignite due to the static electricity or the light bulb or whatever but unless you have other combustible material there should not be a fire much less an explosion. The microwave is probably not air tight and the pressure inside the microwave is probably not great enough to produce an explosion.
I dunno, maybe it could but I doubt it. That being said, no way in hell am I going to try it.

I think I've figured out how to relocate the microwave's control panel remotely. And I can make it pretty airtight, with the above mentioned duct tape.
Just put a coconut in there and set on HIGH for 10 minutes. Push start, make sure oven is away from valuable property and/or loved ones and GET AWAY!!!

But of course. All our on-site detonations are handled on a hillside facing away from anything of value (into an open field, actually) For black powder blasts, hand lighting and running like hell is sufficient, but for anything more significant, remote detonation is generally instituted.
It's been scheduled for either this weekend or the following weekend, depending upon availability of 8mm tape. Alongside this is the destruction of a significantly large amount of computer equipment through various means (Firearms, explosions, assault with a pipe, etc)
We know how to have fun out here in the middle of nowhere.
I might have a pallat of 20 Gateway PPros to blast. If I can get them, I'll do it all at once (After salvaging everything not marked "sux")
