[NewCandle] Microwave'd ham

[Keith Nagel]

That's a good hypothesis Ham, made me curious enough
to try the same experiment with SiO2 rather than
NaCl. No buzzing at all. Is there something about
sand that would preclude nucleation of bubbles?

I think my first hypothesis still holds, but
I can confirm that when the water level gets
low and there are salt crystals things really
start buzzing. I attributed this to concentration/volume
effect but nucleation could be helping.

BTW, if your voltmeter is high enough impedence,
try measuring the voltage drop across the other
plates. That ought to confuse the hell out of you
if you make the measurement right (grin).

(Spiced Ham, please.)  I tried some more examples and found that if you don't totally dissolve the NaCl, you get a better buzz.
Must be nucleation sites for the water to boil.

Also, tap water boils slower than distilled.
