well, once again I was looking for carbonfiber cloth (to use and dope for "free" heli parts on the run, or something like that, if you can find a link (to the harderner) I'd be greatly thankful) and found a few good links but no doping... so I put in "carbon fiber cloth doping" and what do you know, a way to create plasma in your microwave with common materials! though I can't recomend ANY of this, nor verify it, it's interesting none the less, and may be even more so if any of you actually find it's real!

PS: I hear plasma does interesting things when electromagnetic forces are applied...

WOAH! Sounds so awesome! Just need to make sure I don't screw over the microwave, seeing as it's a new house!

Put in a pyrex plate or dish then put the match in, no harm should come of the microwave, just some weird plasma phoenomina, but, I don't condone this. I say pyrex because it's heat-proof and microwaveable.

Maybe I can help, although I don't reccomend this outside of a controlled laboratory. The easiest way to get some interesting plasma comes from electromagnetic excitation. Inside the space, you need a mixture of gasses. Those gasses turn into a plasma when exposed to electromagnetic energy eminated from coils most often. So you need special gasses and some source of electromagnetic energy.

this wouldn't be too hard to try if you had an old microwave you're wanting to get rid of, then, take it out side and try it.

I was wondering however, what CAN you do with plasma?

From what I've read, plasma is like the 3 fundamental states of matter (Solids, Gases, and liquids) however this is a fourth stage, a stage in which ions are excised into gases... I don't know if you can do much with it at all, it seems to look best as those electric spheres seen in Spencers or in Marco Nero's website.

You can make plasma with grapes too.

I'm sure there's alot that can be made with plasma, the examples I've seen recently are matches in a microwave and according to you, Grapes.

Skinless is right, you just cut a grape along the "equator", but leave a small piece of skin. You then stick it in the microwave, and you get plasma. Don't try it in your brand new microwave though.
