cheers :!:

Btw what’s STAGG stand for?

When I worked on the tall ship Lady Washington. One of the rules was we had to lash our tools to our belts. If we ever dropped a tool and it hit the deck, then that person would have to buy the crew a case of beer no exceptions. :shock:

That used to be true years ago. There were some plastics that had chemicals that leached out making people sick. But now days it’s no longer an issue. Frozen dinner are now in microwave safe plastic trays and the FDA says they are safe. Some plastic trays/bowl says right on them that they are microwave safe.

“If you put a slab of steel or stacks of forks and spoons and knifes into a microwave oven and turn it on full blast sparks and flames will shoot out, and lots of smoke too, and burnt smell. That must be the sparks and glow of ions you mentioned about.”

What your are creating is plasma gas from super heating air inside the microwave. You can do the same thing with a grape or a lit match. I do have to caution you about this because the gas is ‘NO2′ or [Nitrogen dioxide] which is very toxic if you inhale it. It will freaking kill you so don’t try it.

(Nitrogen dioxide [NO2] is toxic by inhalation, but this could be avoided as the material is acrid and easily detected by our sense of smell. Symptoms of poisoning (lung edema) tend to appear several hours after one has inhaled a low but potentially fatal dose. Also, low concentrations (4 ppm) will anesthetize the nose, thus creating a potential for overexposure. NO2 is a reddish-brown toxic gas has a characteristic sharp, biting odor and is a prominent air pollutant. Car & Trucks make this stuff all the time.)

So in other words, stop making plasma and sparks in your oven! Just watch it on video here.

“Ouch. What if someone puts cigarettes out on you, like from kink experiment play. As in grinding a lit cigarette into the soft tender part of the thigh. Can a person get cancer from that?”

What I should have put a ‘?’ mark on that sentence. It was a question for you. No, you can NOT get cancer from getting burned from a lit match. You should Google cancer and get a better understanding what it is.

“Oh, I read the question. I guess I flubbed up the answer though (lol)”

Ok, understandable.

“Uh, I will say about 10 minutes. 1 watt of power, hmmm, seems that would be like trying to boil water with a 9V duracell battery under a hot plate.”

The answer is probably never. The heat would escape before it would even warmed up. I like your example of 9v battery running a hot plate. Yeah thats about it. Well more like a watch battery running a hot plate.

So what we learned here? We know that a magnetron excites water which creates heat. It take a lot of watts of power to make this happen. We know that if we had a magnetron that was only 1 watt of power wouldn’t do much of anything. We know that burning your skin does not cause cancer. We also know boiling water does not cause cancer.

With your help ‘Greatestpotential’ ;-) , We can conclude that a (.7) to (1) watt cellphone will not cause cancer. :grin: Good Job GP! Now you can tell all your friends that you know for a fact that Cellphones don’t cause cancer for you helped with much of the investigation of this myth. Now you see how doing your homework can make you smarter!

Tin foil is not good for your food. It just keeps it from cooking well and also it gets ionized which you will see sparks and a glow of ions.

I hear if you put a plastic bowl full of food into a microwave oven it’s no good because plastic particles can get into the food and make people sick.

If you put a slab of steel or stacks of forks and spoons and knifes into a microwave oven and turn it on full blast sparks and flames will shoot out, and lots of smoke too, and burnt smell. That must be the sparks and glow of ions you mentioned about.

For example can you get cancer from lighting a match under your hand.

Ouch. What if someone puts cigarettes out on you, like from kink experiment play. As in grinding a lit cigarette into the soft tender part of the thigh. Can a person get cancer from that?

Now about the 1 watt of power. You didn’t read my question

Oh, I read the question. I guess I flubbed up the answer though (lol)
Uh, I will say about 10 minutes. 1 watt of power, hmmm, seems that would be like trying to boil water with a 9V duracell battery under a hot plate.

lazy people are the bosses of establishments

Right on

You’ll be fine. :grin: There is a little bit of metal around the door that keep the waves in if the door is a bit off.

“if someone is microwaving a burrito in one of those tin foil wrappers at the mini mart and microwaves are leaking out the microwave oven from the sides maybe it could it cause ppl to get cancer.”

Tin foil is not good for your food. It just keeps it from cooking well and also it gets ionized which you will see sparks and a glow of ions. :cool:

You can not get cancer from a microwave. :roll: For example can you get cancer from lighting a match under your hand. Why is this, because your just heating your hand to the point of burning it. All a microwave does is excites water so rapidly it warms it’s self up to the point it starts to boil. It’s just like rubbing your hands together really fast.

Now about the 1 watt of power. You didn’t read my question. :roll: How long will it take to boil water with a 1 watt microwave oven (as if such a thing ever existed). Now we know it take about microwave and about 2 minutes with a 1100 watt oven. It takes about 3 minutes with a 500 watt microwave oven. I was talking about a 1 watt microwave oven. So how long would a 1 watt microwave oven take?

;-)

Ok now you know that the cellphone popcorn thing is just a trick.

whew!

i think it takes just under a minute to boil a cup of water in a 1 watt microwave. microwaves boil liquid up quick. if liquid is kept in a running microwave for too long it bubbles up over the cup and messes the glass rotating spinwheel inside.

“…or it takes time for the design changes to propagate throughout the net.”
There is no propagation through the net. It doesn’t work like a domain name. You are a partner so they give you guys the new stuff and wait for your comments. They did the same thing with the new skins of the default channel. After you comment then they propagate the new changes from one box to the next. It only take about a 6 hours to about a day to update all the boxes.
