Experiment #411: 5 1/4" Floppy Disk Drive (Rated G) You've seen floppies in a microwave and even a hard drive in a microwave, but how about a floppy drive in a microwave? This is a first of its kind microwaving and it produced the kind of awesome results you hope from when doing first of its kind types of videos. The floppy drive was an old rusty state of the fart 5 1/4" disk drive that wasn't working an d so I decided that microwaving it would be the best course of action. Unlike the hard drive, this one REALLY caught fire, there were a lot of nice pops but the thing was practically engulfed after just a couple minutes. This is one of the best microwavings I've done in awhile. It's a shame the green light on it didn't light up, too, then it would have been REALLY amazing. But this was still a fun spectacle to see. Microwave Me is in its 14th season and is continuing the trend of bigger and better microwave experiments than the previous season while being filmed in 1080p for the best quality and as always stars Captain Microwave, the show's host and producer, who for this episode uses a Proctor-Silex microwave that he named Anna.
