We live and learn… but this guy ought to be old enough to know what egg white is; and his parents (obviously in the room) MUST know the dish was inappropriate and ya don’t micro an egg like that.
PLUS…”oh! THATS HOT!”
duh?
WHY do people want to show their ignorance online?
When you microwave eggs, you have to cook them without the shell, otherwise they go boom.
This is interesting physics. Why didn’t it explode in the oven, when the shell was cracked?
#4- there’s a membrane around the soft part of the egg that didn’t tear. Well, not until he started screwing with it.
I saw an egg blow the door off a microwave in my office when a past Darwin Award winner did the same thing. This kid and his dopey-ass parents were lucky.
Youtube is the industrial revolution of the entertainment world. Whenever you give a camera to a group of teenaged boys and an outlet on which to post the video’s, some funny (i.e. dangerous) stuff is going to happen. It gets only better when you throw a trampoline into the mix 😉
They also turn hamsters into throw pillows.
You wonder the power and microwaves a 3rd party firmware Linksys wrt54g modded router is puting out 24/7
Yikes

I sit, for hours at a time, inches away from my wrt54g and nothing has happened to me yet. Oh that’s not to say that my outer shell hasn’t cracked a little, but the membrane around my soft middle is still intact 🙂
great lesson in physics there 😉
The edible egg in the microwave oven
Or perhaps the non edible egg
Kitchens can be a dangerous place – even with out Martha Stewart raising her knife
I see a law suite against the microwave manufacturer. Should have been a label on the door warning not to cook eggs in the shell.
John, I am unable to view the file. Could be my computer does not allow this kind of player or sumpin.
I cannot see it either 🙁
Eggs don’t have to be in the shell to explode. Take a pickled egg out of the shell and it will blow.
This reminds me of a prank a buddy of mine and I pulled on a professor at university (civil eng). He taught reinforced concrete design and gave us a killer course. We created several fake students and had them do a lab experiment where they designed reinforced concrete containment vessels for microwaving eggs!. The lab report was submitted as were the (take home) final exam papers. In the “experiments” the explosions kept happening and all the students ended up in the hospital. The “finals” had answers written by nurses (can’t write in a body cast) that were nonsense. It was pretty obvious it was a spoof.
He didn’t get the joke and thought that several of his students actually ended up in hospital! My buddy and I had to own up to it after seeing a the department staff trying desperately to figure out who these “students” were.
He took it in good humour and ended up giving us an A on our real work and filing the fake stuff with the other prank stuff previously done to him!
#8 a WRT54GS with DD-WRT software can put out only up to 250mw in the 2.4GHz band, while microwave ovens can put out hundreds of Watts of power. And it’s only 802.11 channel 6 that’s close to the resonant frequency of water used by microwave ovens to boil water. Change your Linksys to channel 1 or 11 and your brain will stop feeing so bubbly.
@16. Eggs don’t have to be in the shell to explode. Take a pickled egg out of the shell and it will blow.
… or a peeled, hard-boiled egg. I speak from experience 🙂
I knew of this explosive effect when I was a teenager and I did a video of it five years ago:
