Soaplosion

November 27 2010


Inspiration
This one was inspired by a science video I stumbled across and is super easy to do.


Materials1 Bar of fresh Ivory soap
1 Microwave


Notes
Simply chop up and put pieces of soap on a microwave safe plate and fire it up.  The science discussion is based on the air trapped in the soap while it's whipped during manufacture.  So the same air that makes it the soap that floats also expands in the microwave.  When it comes out after about a minute you get a warm souffle that makes the whole room smell fresh, and is still usable as soap.

1 Minute later, we get soap suffle.

  2. Guilty as charged, along with a way to get my mother to stop asking me to write a book. I also like that this format makes it so I don't ever have to worry about album size or anything like that. In a week or two I should have all of the retroactive events posted.
