Nighthawkinlight has a video on using a microwave to create synthetic rubies, I wonder what would happen if you repeated it with much more power.

It seems that Pyrex in the US is made from tempered soda-lime glass, which is more durable than regular glass under temperature fluctuations but not as heat-resistant as borosilicate glass. I guess that in this world EU pyrex can escape to the US and US pyrex can escape to Europe 😂
