Popping corn the French way

[Infatuated]

Someone posted this in the youtube vids comments

"Microwave ovens operate at 2,450 MHZ

Some cell phones use 900 MHZ and some of the newer ones use 1,900 MHZ.

Those people who cannot recreate this popcorn pop are probably using 900 MHZ phones."


Most likely is still BS though

It is for sure.
It doesn't depend so much of the used frequency range.
It is the radiated RF power on a certain surface that matters.

A cell phone has a radiated power of a couple of hundred miliWatts, which is really nothing.

Try to throw in some corn in the microwave with 1000 Watts power.
It takes quite some time before it pops.
And a microwave is far more efficient with dividing the power (a closed cabinet) then a silly cell phone.

To be short: Rubbish.

So how did they do it?

Ask Steve Jobs.

Wow thats some crazy stuff

Bah, why use a cellphone to cook popcorn.
I don't even dig the food, and if I did, it'll be a lot cooler to pop all of them at once in a conventional microwave oven.

Yeah, this is a hoax

hahah that's pretty cool and a good way to increase the risk of radiation LMAO
