Thanks for stopping by, If you have time you can check out my new range of Eggs here www.etsy.com/shop/bensworx
Try a fork or spoon. A heavier metal yields better results than aluminum. Microwaves pull out moisture, so a denser metal will cause more sparks.
I love this videos of 'cast and experiment'
Keep up the good work man!! Loving the videos
I think new microwaves dont spark like old ones
Can you cast a raw egg in resin and see if it cooks in the microwave? Talk about eggception. An egg within an egg
Who remembers the show “Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?”
I miss that show :P
God how long ago was that it’s been years.
"I'm your host, Jory Cameron" watched that from Beginning to end
The air bag that they barely survived, good times good times.
I don't, but I remember the bendtec blender videos and "will it blend?"
Lol I was totally expecting a different ending to the "so I've asked her kindly to go out"... Was waiting for a "so I can do it without her knowing"
Your channel is a breath of fresh air. No drama, no edginess. Just a salt of the earth bloke and his passion for making stuff.
"I had a couple of the balls drop." Lol
I was like hehe when I heard that
And me
Nothing more satisfying than when the balls drop...
child after my own heart 😆
"Ball droppings can be beautiful. For instance when a soprano becomes a nice tenor." - Andy Bernard
I have an experiment to expand on this. Maybe try putting water or some food inside of clear resin (with the cut, cavity, glue technique), and microwaving it. That should allow you to test whether the resin is absorbing the microwaves or just interfering with the arcing. If the water boils or the food gets hot, then you know it's the latter
Great idea
dude change your profile
@@THESLlCK dude quit liking your own comment
I believe the resin is absorbing most of the microwave radiation it has a larger mass and is much more dense than the surrounding material. If possible try putting the cylinder on a lathe and reduce the sidewalls. In theory this should allow some of the microwave radiation to penetrate and cause a violent plasma reaction. Just a theory though.
@@robadobflob3405 don't you dare change that profile picture. ❤️
Imagine some archeologist from the future digging these up..."What the hell were these used for?"
This is the same reason I want to orchestrate an entire thing with whoever my loved ones and friends are in the future. Like, I want to have my freshly dead body to be wrapped in mock up ceremonial garb and to be buried in a peat bog with that and a bunch of miscellaneous things like books, candles, gem stones, an axe, and whatever the fuck else
So someday I can be dug up by some tractor man and have archaeologists speculate the insanity long after my death.
@@CrowCoded For a long time I wanted to be mummified, but it's quite expensive.
@@chaos_omega Who said they'd be paying? 💀 But fair haha.
Lololol I love how your wife is always the voice of reason-no you are NOT gonna blow up my microwave. Nice of her to go get you one to play with though, lol. 😂 This was fun!!
I don’t know how i discovered this wonderful, cheery australian fellow, but it’s made life so much better. thank you for what you do, Mr. Ben WorX
New Zealand I think.
Kmart?! Did I hear that right?! Those are nearly extinct in America
We have lost a few here
The biggest one in the world is actually located in America, believe it or not
@@robadobflob3405 WHERE? it would be such a throwback to go see one! We have none here (Oklahoma)
@@amandageyer795 Guam. I lived there for a while. It's a US territory that operates pretty much the same as a state but without the title. I used to go there all the time; its massive and still open. Has multilevel car-parking on the roof as well.
Every time the foil floated and sat on the surface just made me think of an iceberg and now I wanna see an iceberg diorama :p
After seeing how the foil looked in the resin it makes me want to do a sea bed made of foil incased in blue tinted resin.
After seeing the foil I want to eat a cheeseburger that’s been wrapped in foil for about 5 hours.
That is so wild... Thought for sure it'd spark sticking out the sides.
Well the reason why it didn't spark or arc in the microwave is because the aluminum foil had no pockets of oxygen stuck in it
@@texasgrizzlygaming2520 the Alu foil wasnt well compacted AT all in the "christmas tree" sides . it had air around it. it had points for the arcs to spark from. there is something more than that.
The aluminum foil has to touch the bottom or sides of the microwave to spark. The resin is insulating the foil....
The latest findings from the Research Institute for Packaging of the Fraunhofer-Intitut ( Fraunhofer-Instituts für Verfahrenstechnik und Verpackung (IVV) in Freising (Germany)) showed that aluminum trays are suitable for microwaves as long as they are placed on a plate made of glass or plastic. I think the resin works in a similar way.
Ahh, that would explain it
but why? I get that it dosn't produce plasma, but why ;_; and also... the spinning plate in the oven IS glass
@@IcecalGamer Came to my mind as well. We all have glass plates inside.
@@IcecalGamer I think a single piece of crumpled aluminum has many high surface areas that don't touch the plate.
In the video, the plasma is only created between the bulging areas of the aluminum foil.
I haven't found a physical explanation. I suspect glass and plastic ground the aluminum foil, but I'm not an expert. But only found the mentioned paper:
"Microwaveability of Steel and Aluminium Food Packaging"
by
"Fraunhofer-Institut für Verfahrenstechnik und Verpackung (Fraunhofer IVV), Thomas Pfeiffer"
english name:
"Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging, Thomas Pfeiffer"
Literally nothing makes me happier at the moment than seeing you upload at the moment. I really like it when you talk through the videos too. I prefer it to your videos of just making things
Thanks Jack
I prefer talking videos as well, in general
The aluminum with blue resin was way too pretty to burn up anyhow. :)
Yay, Nicole for standing up for her kitchen appliances!
I love that you went to the trouble of scribbling on the anko brand even though Kmart only sells one brand...
First video of yours I've seen, think I'll stick around. Your voice is down right mesmerizing to listen to in a Morgan Freeman kinda way.
Thanks Justin and Welcome to my channel 😊
I second the voice comment. I thought it was just me.
I just want a video of him saying aluminum over and over and over!
When you mentioned asking your wife to step out I thought you meant so you could do it anyway 🤣
The go pro in the pressure pot is such a cool angle. I love it!
As the guys over at modern rogue say, this feels "science adjacent "
The only difference between science and goofing around is writing it down.
Or like Evan & Katelyn. :D They even have a little jingle, “Science-Adjacent with Evan & Katelyn, yeah!”
Kmart?! That's where they all went.
OK now I need to see a project with Aluminum that you aren't trying to blow up!
why? Me like kaboom
I agree it's so pretty!
Has anyone told you that you sound EXACTLY like Korg from Thor Ragnarok?!?!
Korg is a New Zealander
Where is Miek 😳
I was thinking the same thing, absolutely awesome!
Sounds like such a friendly dude.
I wish he would say, “it’s like a freaky circle” in one of his videos 👌🏼
Made my day when you said "nothing to do with putting foil inside resin" I like your honesty. Great Video!
Ben, I’d love to see you attempt a galaxy sphere! They have ones with little opalescent planets and stuff, they’re totally gorgeous. I was thinking that a smaller, loosely crumpled up aluminum foil ball would look interesting with galaxy colors, like a nebula or something. :)
I'd love that too!
Next obvious step: ya gotta see how thin a wall will let microwaves penetrate
You could put a raw egg in a resin cup and see if it cooks
A wet paper towel will stop aluminum foil sparkling.
it doesn't take much to block microwaves, they're really not very strong.
Your phone receives signals via microwaves... the better experiment (although I'm sure it's been done already) is to see how thick a wall needs to be before the microwaves are unable to pass through. More interestingly, various materials could be tested, but something tells me he probably doesn't have access to the right tools to detect microwaves
@@DARTHxBRSTNITRX exactly, that’s why I put my phone in the microwave when I want to talk to my popcorn
Back in the early days of microwave ovens, there were numerous recipes that called for wrapping sensitive parts of food (such as the tip of drumsticks) for part of the cooking process. I seem to remember that the instructions were clear to avoid pointy edges, as those could allow for sparking.
You just know the casting was on point when this theme song just plays 5:04 😭😭❤❤
Where is this tune from ? I love it
i was shocked the 1st one didn't work either, but now we know. show at the end was worth the wait 😁
I THINK I remember learning that if the volume of non-conductive material exceeds the volume of aluminum foil it won't spark.
Taco bell burrito wrappers with a burrito inside sure sparked back in the 80s
Your videos are not only super satisfying to watch but so wholesome, I recently found your channel and I absolutely love your videos ! Keep doing what your doing!
If the resin absorbed the energy, it should get warm. If it just reflects, then the foil outside of the resin should get warm. Maybe there are different resins that don't do that, or you could try a thin layer. If the resin starts burning, you might also see some arcs from the fire, which is also plasma.
I literally wrote a whole comment on why it might not of worked but as I watched more of the video I realised I was wrong
I don't know what it is about blue dye in the resin, but it almost looks clearer than leaving it clear? Great job, Ben :)
This was Wonderful! I had no idea the aluminum would be stopped arcing even with room to arc
Thankyou, yeah I was surprised
Definitely every fortnight schedule! Also you learned you can use aluminum foil in your builds and they will be microwave safe!!
I enjoy both the experiment videos and the project ones, so switching between the two seems great but I'll watch whatever I see!
I would love to see a video sometime of you going over your equipment, tools, workshop, and processes as a maker! I love the logistical side of these things and would love to hear your tips and tricks based on all the experience you have when working with resin, wood, etc... as well as what you do with all the waste product made (like the resin shavings)!
New subscriber here, and thanks for all the videos and work you do!!
Even when Ben is disappointed, he still sounds gleeful.
“Couple of the balls dropped, which is quite nice”
My favorite part is when he says “aluminyum” lol
I used to be so confused when someone said it like that, I honestly used to think they were talking about something else XD. I was stupid
Aluminium, the way the rest of the world says it.
The element is "aluminium"
The US and Canada are like the only 2 places that say aluminum
@@youtubeSuckssNow I honestly thought the US was the only one that took out the "I". Interesting
The guy that discovered it called it aluminium at first, then changed it TO aluminum. He then changed it BACK to aluminium, so it caused some confusion among the different countries of the world.
I loved this episode. It was great fun! Also, I like to see what you like to make. Experiments or not-you are an awesome maker. One more thing: Thanks Nicole!
Just ordered a beautiful ocean pendant from your etsy shop. I LOVE your channel, and the obvious enthusiasm and care you out into your creations. Really excited to wear something you created!
My dad worked for an appliance company and would work on repairs when needed. They had a thing that was some type of metal encased in plastic. They would put it inside of a microwave and it would light up and let them know if they microwave was working. It was a really cool thing and I loved showing my friends it. It would take a couple minutes to start working though.
this is the stuff I like to see!
Well the microwave magnetron uses 4K volts dc from a transformer which vibrates water molecules. So if water it should heat and what it is doing is making plasma.
Dear Ben with all respect I think yours is the best show on the internet. I dealt with English relatives when I was growing up. Canadian relatives when I was growing up. But you are one great Kent. Happy anniversary to you and your Mrs. Godspeed Ben I'm dying of a heart condition. And your channel made me smile. Keep teaching Ben. Keep teaching.

For a second I was thinking you had unknowingly had some of that microwave safe Aluminium foil and didn’t realise🤣👍🏻
Where I'm from K-Mart has been out of business for decades. I had to listen twice to make sure I heard right. Hello, from the great nation of Texas!
Kmart is very different here in Australia from what I hear. I absolutely love it 😍
Could you leave an egg in vinegar so it removes the shell leaving only the membrane intact and set it in resin?
At least we got a bit of a light show in the end. I still think it was worth a worthy experiment, and now we all know what won't happen.
My grandmother had a cookbook that came with her microwave that instructed you to wrap the wing tips of a chicken in foil to stop them overcooking compared to the rest of the chicken. I remember at the time thinking that it was going to spark like crazy but it was in there for about an hour and was fine but then one day I accidentally made my own charcoal chicken by placing a whole BBQ chicken in the microwave in a foil/paper bag and that definitely gave me a show.
What a shocking turn of events
K-Mart? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time.
i like how at one point in the video ben decides his goal is now to cause the same lightning effect hes been protecting the aluminum from happening.
We got sound bites of Ben saying “balls drop” and “fortnite” in one video. Today is a good day.
Try a grape in resin!!! But the resin shield the waves. And it wouldn’t spark. Because it’s like using the microwave with foil next to it and not inside the microwave
Hey i have a question do you use the same mesurement cup or not and if you do use the mesurement cup how do you clean it?
I enjoy you videos whether they are “makers” or “experiments”.
Thank you for the entertainment and interesting content.
Sticks foil into the microwave.
This has turned into The King of Random channel 😂
I love that channel lol
This will never be the King of Random Channel.
There are some microwaves out there that won't react to microwaving metals. Could be the reason you didn't have a reaction 🤷♂️ either way I enjoyed watching bro
I laughed out loud at timestamp 10:00. It was just to funny when you said "this had nothing to do with putting foil in resin". Good job trying all the different ways to make sparks.
That was cool Ben.
I like your idea about the rotation of videos.
Thank you for your part MrsWorx!
I found your channel because of the stuff in resin videos. I understand your sentiment that you don't want to become just that channel so your idea of alternating would work I believe. Maybe it would even give you a bit more time for the create videos?
Thanks for your input 👍
I thought when you said you sent your wife to the store that you were going to use her microwave while she was out.
Keep up the great work. Hope the experiments you do provide inspiration for future things you make.
Works for me I like seeing you build things
You should start forming objects out of aluminium foil and cast them in resin. The aluminium in resin looks awesome
am surprized that your wife didn take the new microwave and you get the old one .haha
Where did you get the large round mold? I'm looking for the exact same size!
Great video. Always love experiment videos. Love your compromise on the different project every fortnight too.
Conclusion: it's okay to put aluminum in a microwave if you got some plastic with it. 👌
It seems that way 🤷🏻♂️
@@BensWorx 😆 I'm not a scientist. We need more experiments Ben.
I loved the first blank
I enjoy watching u make stuff. The occasional experiment in the name of art sure but not just off the wall experiments. That’s my opinion. U rock!
Thanks David
Brilliant idea!
A+ on ingenuity! Keep the great vids coming.
I have a Maytag micro wave that is stainless steel inside. It comes with a metal rack for multiple layer cooking. It does not spark at all. But it came with a warning about not letting the metal touch the sides or the walls or floor with the rack. The oven has plastic rack holders that keep the metal from touching the sides. I think you are correct about the resin keeping it protected, by not letting it touch anything.
That’s interesting
What would be cool is something like a spark inside resin. I’m thinking like those electric globes that send plasma trails to your fingertips when you touch it.
I love watching these types of videos!!!!
Love your work, Ben
Ben, how do you deal with amine blush in your epoxy? I never see any red/pink contamination, or heard you talk about washing it off. It's an integral part of base catalyzed epoxy resin, how do you deal with it/or why isn't it an issue?
These experiments are so cool to watch.
My level of anxiety each time you tried a new technique 😂😂😂
Before you put the first one in the microwave, I thought the resin might put a thin coat on the foil all over, even in the creases so that layers of foil were not touching, as i have noticed if you put flat foil in the micro it did not spark for me, and have left forks in by accident as well many years ago. But guess like you that the microwaves are being absorbed by the resin, and the foil does not get any or very little of them directly, and it was sooooo refreshing to hear someone pronounce the word aluminium properly, unlike a lot of youtubers who feel they have to pronounce it the American way, as if their audience would be unable to work out what they were talking about if they spoke in their native language of English lol.
I love the idea of one maker and one experimental video.
Where did you get your pressure pot? As a fellow Aussie, I’ve had some trouble finding a pressure pot
Love your diligence 😂👍 as the saying goes "like a dog with a bone"
How does the pressure chamber help?
Definitely can't be disappointed with the effort you put in man tried every option lol well done
That was a cool video. You made me laugh when you started the experiment with the resin and aluminum in the microwave
IT WENT EXACTLY TO PLAN
WE ASKED A QUESTION AND GOT THE ANSWER JUST NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED THATS WHY I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
also i love how he just kept making new holes and adding more and more foil
Gee, tried reading a few comments. Quit real quickly. Dunno why folks act that way 😥. But I just want to say... ARE YOU CRAZY? I guess so and that's why we enjoy your videos Ben. Thanks for sharing your creativity (?) with me again. Stay safe, Vickie

Enjoyed watching, fun.
these videos are the best your voice is so comfortable for some reason even if you were gonna blow up a microwave you were so calm and these are so interesting too ! you just gained a new subscriber !
