Inside a Microwave at 80,000fps - The Slow Mo Guys

Summary

Gav and Dan, the Slow Mo Guys, demonstrate the fast charging capabilities of the OnePlus 12 phone by intentionally draining its battery. They discuss filming inside a microwave with special equipment to visualize electricity arcing between a spinning CD. Dramatic slow motion shows the arcing plasma. They blow up eggs in a microwave, analyzing the explosions in super slow motion. The variety of egg explosions is interesting. OnePlus 12 can charge 1-100% in 30 mins and features a Hasselblad camera. The sponsored video showcases the phone's capabilities in an entertaining way.
