How harmful are mobiles

How Two Russian Journalists Cooked an Egg with their Mobile Phones
Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko from Komsomolskaya Pravda Newspaper in Moscow decided to learn first-hand how harmful cell phones are. There is no magic in cooking with your cell phone. The secret is in the radio waves that the cell phone radiates.
The journalists created a simple microwave structure as shown in the picture. They called from one cell phone to the other and left both phones on talking mode. They placed a tape recorder next to phones to imitate sounds of speaking so the phones would stay on.


After, 15 minutes: The egg became slightly warm.

25 minutes: The egg became very warm.

40 minutes: The egg became very hot.

65 minutes: The egg was cooked. (As you can see.)


Conclusion ..1: Cooking eggs with mobile phones is possible but very expensive.

Conclusion ..2: All this talk of danger is exaggerated; even if your brain gets cooked, it would take a couple hours of talking on a cell phone.

I might add, it takes approximately 2 minutes of speaking on a cellular phone for the radiation to cross the protective Blood Brain Barrier. So whenever there is a land line available use it in preference to your cell. If possible use the ear phones.

See! I knew there was a reason I hated cell phones by the ear!
Whenever we have to make long calls (India), we use landline speaker phone. Although there was a time when we didn't have landline and just used cell phone with ear plug to make the hour long calls.

cell phones are harmful and not many realize it it's not just the radiations n heat but think about the long term effect on hearing loss especially when you're using ear phones
