Re: [ATM] Microwave heating of glass
Regarding annealing...
1. The original video notes that glass only becomes a conductor when
it's heated to red hot (hence the preheating with a torch). Therefore,
annealing is out, since the glass will become too cool to be heated by
the microwaves.
2. The interior of home microwave ovens is plastic. It would melt and
burn if sustained at annealing temperatures.
