Cooking eggs with cellphone

This report really freaked me out. Now I am not really sure of the validity of these findings, but sure enough it had me thinking.

==============================



Cell phone egg cooker experimentJournalists Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko from Komsomolskaya Pravda Newspaper in Moscow decided to learn first-hand just how harmful cell phones are. Instead what they ended up learning was that with a cellphone around, you’ll never go hungry again…

In their experiment, the journalists placed one egg in a porcelain cup (because porcelain conducts heat easily), and put two cell phones, one on each side of the egg. The researchers then called from one cell phone to the other and left the cell phones on after connecting.

Journalists Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko from Komsomolskaya Pravda Newspaper in Moscow show off their cell phone egg experiment.During the first 15 minutes, absolutely nothing changed (that must have been a loooong 15 minutes). After 25 minutes, however, the egg shell started to become warmer and at 40 minutes, the eggshell starting cracking. At that point, according to the researchers, the protein in the egg had become solid although the egg yolk was still in liquid form. And finally, 65 minutes after they had started the experiment, the entire egg was cooked.

In light of the experiment and in the egg’s defense, Mike from Specific Impulse declared that this experiment proves nothing other than the fact that humans are mostly made of water:

‘Water is a dipole molecule and basically looks like an L with the oxygen in the middle and the hydrogens on the outside. When you apply a proper frequency …say… the output of a cell phone, it reacts to the magnetic field. This field spins the molecule. Spinning molecules have kinetic energy and as they bump in other molecules and slow down, they give off heat. This is exactly the same principal that electric motors run on. Every fan in your house, computer, car, etc works on this principal. Field applied to L shaped antenna equals movement.

So now since humans are mostly made of water, heating a human using this principal is fairly easy. If you’ve talked on a cell phone for quite a while, you’ll probably remember your ear getting hot. This is the water that makes up your ear spinning on a molecular level.

Either way, next time you plan on having a conversation with yourself - with one phone on one ear and another phone on the other - you better think twice.
