What can happen if you mix baking soda or water with baking soda in the microwave? Below we'll see it happen on a cutting board that we use in every kitchen, but we don't recommend doing it home...
The resulting designs are called Lichtenberg figures, and their name was taken from the German natural Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. They are created exactly in the same way that lightning is created in the sky during a storm.
In this case, the branching patterns appear from an electrically conductive solution of baking soda, which they placed on the comeye of wood, and is burned by a high voltage source.
As the branches are formed, heat is produced that dries the nearby surfaces. Thus burning paths are constantly changing direction and driven where there is more conductive material, ie soda.
It's a fascinating experiment, which you shouldn't try at home because you'll need several thousand volts to generate the data Lichtenberg. Few appliances in your home can produce as much power as your microwave.
