Can the radiation from two cell phones really cook an egg in one hour?

Okay maybe I shouldn't be answering this question. For one I've never even heard or read about that. However I do know from first hand experience...that a cell phone will cause a microwave to arc. I was cooking something, and a cell phone was about six inches from the microwave. As soon as I started the microwave it arced. Moved the cell phone, and the microwave worked just fine. Cell phones are a strange thing.

Depends what you mean by electronic device. Only some circuits give of electromagnetic radiation - e.g. cell phones, unshielded power supplies.\n\nThe sorts of electromagnetic radiation given off by consumer electronics is safe. The only exception is cell phones. The latest advice is to avoid using a cell phone regularly for excessive periods without a headset - especially children.\n\nNo devices give off nuclear radiation (except smoke detectors)

UV is part of the light spectrum (short wave just beyond violet).  It is given off by the sun, welding torches and UV lights.  Cell phones do not give off UV radiation.  While there are UV curable coatings putting one on a cell phone will probably ruin it and accomplish nothing good in the process.  You are probably thinking of microwave radiation (long wavelength compared to light).  A UV curable coating is transparent to this.

Depends on what sort of electromagnetic waves you mean...\n\nMicrowaves, X-rays etc\n\nStudies are being conducted all the time to test this, but most electromagnetic radiation found in the home has to have been judged safe by govermental bodies, otherwise it wouldn't be sold!!\n\nJust be wary of getting too close to microwaves if you have a heart pacemaker.

The longer you hold a cell-phone/mobile phone to your head, the more exposure to radiation you receive.\n\nIts best to use the phone with respect, and use it no more than you need to.\n\nNo, I am not kidding you. All you have to do is use a search engine for "Cell phone radiation exposure". The younger you are the more risk. Parents should ever be holding a cell phone to an infant's head for this reason.

It would depend upon the power of the microwave and the shape of the container the water is in.

No, none of the equipment in a PC emits any radiation. Some people believe that the electromagnetic fields around ANY electric device can cause some health issues, but no scientific proof exists and personally I believe its bogus. You may not be sleeping well due to the noise and lack of sleep can have some strange effects on your body.

If you really are a know-it-all, then you would know the answer to your question.\n\n\nHigh Tech Bodies \n  \nThree women, one Greman, one Japanese, and a Hillbilly were sitting naked in a sauna. \nSuddenly there was a beeping sound. \n  \nThe Greman pressed her forearm and the beeping stopped. \n  \nThe others looked at her questioningly. \n\n"That was my pager," she said, "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."\n\nA few minutes later, a phone rang. \n  \nThe Japanese women lifted her palm to her ear and talked quietly. \nWhen she was finished, she explained, "That was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand."\n\nThe Hillbilly woman felt decidedly low tect. \nNot to be outdone, she decided she had to do something just as impressive. \nShe stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom. \nShe returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her behind. \n  \nThe others raised their eyebrows and stared at her.\n\nThe Hillbilly woman finally said, "Well, will you look at that, I'm getting a fax."

A microwave is a device that creates HIGH POWER microwave RADIATION. If this stuff gets to you, then there is a possibility of cancer.  Remember the deal with cellphones and cancer?\n\n    Inside the microwave you'll notice there is a steal mesh.  You see it in front of your microwave(It's got millions of holes in it).  This mesh is called a Faraday cage. What this mesh does is that it is actually protects you, by "blocking" the microwaves from escaping.  Remove the mesh and the microwaves have a chance to escape into the environment.\n\n    Cellphones also create microwaves.  But the microwaves coming from your cellphone, pale in power compared to the microwaves coming from the oven.  \n\n    Remember that radiation get's embedded into your skin.  It stays there for a long time, and eats away at you slowly.

They emit RF, the higher the frequency the more harmful the RF generally speaking. cell phones are in the 900mhz-1.8ghz range which given more power would be very harmful to the soft tissues of the human body. Cell phones do not put out enough power to be harmful as required by law in the FCC type acceptance for your specific phone. The FCC has set exposure limits on all emission devices which is also why some devices or radios are limited to occupational use only, as their emissions over time could be harmful. A PCS cell phone that put out 1000watts would be the same as sticking your head in a microwave which is why they generally only put out a quarter watt. Pbmao is incorrect in his summary of only infrared freq range is dangerous. Any frequency range given enough power can be dangerous. I have had a hole burned through my hand with a 900mhz radio putting out 500 watts. Stand between two subwoofers at 10hz and 10,000 watts and see what happens to your ear drums. Everything around you even the light that you see resonates or is a resonating frequency the spectrum starts off at sounds you can not even hear, to the electricity in your walls, to the light your eyes detects to see the world around you.

Bluetooth is a technology that uses radio frequencies and infrared is a type of non visible  radiation that when applied to  computer communications task was called  IrDA.  Both IrDA and Bluetooth have similar technological objectives in providing solutions for wireless short range control and communications with computers, telephones, and other consumer devices.\n\n\nBoth technologies use radiation present in the electromagnetic spectrum at extremely low power levels to maintain their objectives of "short" range communications. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses the entire range of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation extending in frequency from approximately 1023 hertz to 0 hertz, or in corresponding wavelengths, from 10-13 centimeter to infinity. This spectrum includes all forms of classical non-ionizing radiation we are familiar with including ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared (light) radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.  The spectrum also includes ionizing radiation such as cosmic-ray photons, gamma rays, x-rays. \n\nIt is well known that ionizing radiation such as cosmic-ray photons, gamma rays, x-rays even at low levels can cause damage to living organisms and such damage is bio-accumulative. \n\nThe effects of non-ionizing radiation such as ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared (light) radiation, microwaves, and radio waves also has known affects on living organisms.  For instance it is ultraviolet light from the sun that gives us both sun tans and a hazard from skin cancer.  Non-visible infrared from a fireplace can be comforting when it is cold outside.  We use microwaves to cook all kinds of food. \n\n\nThere appears to be no short term hazards in using  Bluetooth and Cellular phones.  However the question you pose has been the subject of global debate.  \n\nIt may seem obvious  but LONG TERM empirical  studies  of LOW LEVEL exposure to anything requires the passage of real time.       Such studies and experiments run concurrent  with the potential exposure of millions of people that may be using such technologies while they are being studied.    \n\nThe effects of using tobacco is a great example of a consumer product that was widely used, sold, and promoted without having information on the hazards.  Huge litigation settlements in this country suggest that much was known about the hazards of tobacco but this information was concealed from the public.

You can beat an egg in a bowl and microwave it for 70 seconds, and have it with a slice of whole wheat toast with butter spray

Microwaves cause the water molecules in the food to vibrate rapidly making heat from the friction.  No harm if you don't tamper with the oven's seals etc.

Yes, in a manner of speaking.\n\nHere's a link to Wards Scientific suppliers for their "2 potato clock"\nhttp://www.wardsci.com/Product.asp_Q_cm_E_1_A_pn_E_IG0003379

mobile phones use the spectrum below the visible wave length  (  and below IR  ) . those frequencies have low energy typically (though MW is used for cooking...) and are not considered of the ionizing radiation type, which is on the other side of the spectrum ( above UV ). For example: X rays, Gamma rays, etc'...which are definitely dangerous. Nonetheless I'd use a cautious approach and common logic when using any radiating device which has only been around for a few years . if there are negative effects we shall see them years from now on the "heavy users" of cell phones...\nanother issue is that those tumors i guess you're referring to occur because of DNA braking up during transcription by exposure to ionizing radiations ( which has a short enough wave-length ) , that could most definitely NOT occur with your cell phone!\n\nso my answer is - NOT LIKELY.

They are generaly about 800 mghz. RF \nThink they can go as low as 600 and way up to 2400 mghz.\n\nMicro waves are used in telecomunications but not " in " \nyour cell phone.\nThis picure of a microwave tower has just about every shape \nmicrowave dishes come in. (thows curved things that bounce the microwave signal) any ways they are line of sight \nthat means the dish has to be aimed directly at another dish.  If cell phones used microwave technology you would \ntotaly have to like climb a tower and aim your phone in just the right diection to get a signal.\nany ways heres a pic of a microwave tower\nhttp://www.drgibson.com/towers/bountifulmain.jpg\nit carys lots of conversation over a distance so we \ndon't have to string up more telephone polls everywhere.\nand here is a tower for a cell site\nhttp://wallybloss.com/images/22Cell_SIte_Cook_Rd_3.JPG\nAnd here's a few pics of the actual building were I \nused to work on telephone switches.\nhttp://www.thecentraloffice.com/Calif/IE/AT&T%20San%20Bernardino/AT&TSanbern.htm \nlove that place that was allot of fun, getting to know\n what makes a phone call work and how to build that stuff.
