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 ($4.55 or 123 Rubles)

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.

Conclusion ..3: We dont recommend carrying cell phone in your pants.
