Experiment #388: USB Hub (Rated G) One thing I learned about microwaving is to expect the unexpected, and who would have thought much would have come from the humble little hub for the universal service bus? Or USB for short. It turns out that microwaving a USB hub was actually one of the best ideas I've had this year, it was a lot like the TV remote, but unlike that which blew the door open because of the batteries exploding, this just blew up on its own (and yes, I have microwaved a battery in case you're wondering). To my knowledge, this has only been done once before, by Shawn K two years ago. It's funny looking back to early 2013 how him and his friend were just as unprepared for a flare up as I was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZUwf7p5AEs I think his put on a better show but mine had far more impressive results. It was weird how at first it internally arced, then caught fire, then made a large gasoline-like fireball in the same way the ink toner cartridge did, then exploded and blew the door open. I thought it'd maybe just catch fire, but I think it was more exciting this way. I know it's a long one but it was hard to edit this one without there being the all-too-obvious jump cuts that would have made this look like a total hack job. It's been awhile since I've had a really good episode of Microwave Me, and thus the first one to blow the door open. I'm hoping that others I have planned also produce this kind of result. Especially the upcoming Easter special. Season 13 of Microwave Me continues the tradition of microwaving excellence dating back to 1992 which today uses a JVC high definition digital camcorder, hosted and produced by Captain Microwave who used for this episode a Proctor-Silex microwave that he named Elsa.
