I got this video from another forum , it looks real . I thought cel phones were limited to a watt or two , I would think it would take more than that to pop corn .

It's a hoax. I think Snopes covered it?

It does look neat , but I think it is a fake also. Cel phones are very low power, they work around 800-900 MHz . Micro wave ovens use 2450 MHz , its the resident osc. freq. of water . desert rat

it is a HOAX I'm an electrical engineering student in high school and my class evaluated these videos and coupled it with theories and determined that they are fake, the phones aren't powerful enough to pop popcorn

Mustfall~ although your class evaluated the videos, did you guys actually TRY it? I think this would be interesting to try, although it would be hard for me to get 6-8 cell phones at one time to try it.

I dont think even 6-8 cel phones would have the wattage to pop a kernel of pop corn . The guy on the forum where I got this link says it will work . desert rat
