As unbelievable as it sounds, some program I
saw on tv, showed a guy put a gasoline can in a
microwave, and turn the MW on. *About a minute
later the house exploded. *The good part is that it
shows the house explode, so most people would
not do it, but the bad part is that it gives *criminals
ahd mentally deranged people another means of
destruction. Then we wonder why we have all these
shootings and other forms of violence. *I dont
know what the program was, because I was not
really watching the tv, I often just have it on when
I'm working on stuff, but I saw it, and thought that
was a real stupid thing to show on tv.

Obviolusly this was just "Staged", probably an empty
gas can and nonworking microwave, but if that was
actually done, it could explode instantly if there was
even a small amount of vapors leaking out of the
can.

Actually , it won't "explode" until the gas-air ration
getscorrect. *In either a leaking can, or a bowl
of gasoline, the vapors would increase in concentration
until such an ignition point was reached. *The
sparking *would probably be necessary.....
Fan motors in microwaves ovens are induction
type and don't have brushes, so no sparks. *However
there may be a sparking relay or thermostat somewhere.
It might just work.... I wish I knew for sure....

Regarding a tool for crooks ---- well, most likely it
would be something for a dumb teenager to read
about and try in his house.... *Crooks have plenty
of ways to do mischief without this tool.....

Would it even get hot?
