Do you know what a test tube is?

People were documenting superheating and supercooling before they knew about microwaves.
Can you share the link?
A video would be better.

Yes, and they are all pretty close to the same size.
Do you know what a boiling tube is?
What about a micro tube?

So... you want a video from before they had microwaves.
How many pre WWII video recorders do you think there were ?

Here's the video on superheating demineralized water in microwave oven under a linear polarizer.

Or Google them?

Why don't you just accept reality?
Some different phenomena may have similar symptoms. In this case, explosion of heated water inside a microwave oven may seem similar to bumping. But we need to consider other symptoms too, and compare if they are found in both cases.
That's why I asked you, who claimed to have experience with bumping. Did you find these symptoms?
Superheating and de-superheating can be done slowly.
Right after the explosion, the water can still be in superheated state.
The superheating is affected by linear polarization.
The superheating can be local and non-homogenous, which means some parts of the water can be superheated while some other parts are not.

Why don't you just enjoy the show?

Interesting claim.
You don't have adequate evidence.

I can repeat the experiments with and without linear polarizer, and measure the steam formed during desuperheating. If you have no patience waiting for my video, you can do it yourself. It doesn't require exotic equipments. Anyone can do that.

How are you polarising the microwaves?
Are you taking account of the fact that the magnetron produces a polarised beam?

In case you haven't seen my video, it's done by placing a linear polarizer on top of the water container. If there's no other mechanism involved, we would expect to see less energy goes into the superheated water, instead of more.

Is it linearly polarized? What's the axis of polarization?

I believe so and along the axis of the output coupling connector, I think.

But don't you think you should have checked that?

And here's what bumping looks like.

Perhaps you've also watched my other video on microwave transceiver with double reflector. Reflection can change polarization axis.
Inside the oven chamber, the microwave gets reflected multiple times. The rotation of the base also reduces polarization effect.

So, the effect you are looking for might be caused by the rotation of the dish?

Both experiments involved rotation of the dish.

So both had variable polarisations.
