Very high levels of ambient electric charges created by the criss-crossing of network reception n transmission within the phone's very small m restricted operational space. What is the final result when this highly charged electromagnetic activity occurs in a poorly-controlled gas disemmination environment... an explosive effect majorly caused by high-density accumulation of leaked gas in an enclosed space (enclosed space here means, poorly or hardly ventilated kitchen or anyother cooking room �)

I am a gas operator of 10yrs field experience, with a 1st degree in Geophysics... so pls dun ask me how I know these things ���

Oga Geophysict, this is Nairaland. Choose your grammar carefully. Assume you are addressing 10 to 12 year olds. Leave all that grammer and explain things in layman terms.

Hello my friend,

I just want to share with you a message about the love of Christ. John 3 vs 16 says God so much loved you that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ to shed his blood for you.

Dear friend, Jesus died so you can access salvation with eternal life. As you receive Christ into your life today, I assure you that you will never remain the same… 1 Corinthians 5 vs 17 says If any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.

How to experience this newness of life:
Step 1: Confess your sins to God, and ask Him to forgive you of past sins
Step 2: Repent from your sins, and do not return back to them
Step 3: Believe in your heart that you are now saved.

As you do these, continue in your Christian walk and relationship with God by fellowshipping with a Bible believing church, also prayer and continual study of the word of God will keep you going.

Thank God you’re now saved. God bless you

yh static electricity is underated
i remember one sweater i dey use wen i dey jos
if i pull of off i dey always hear sparks sound

Naso i try pull am off fr darkness, e be lyk fireworks

I love doing this kind of things in the dark. You will see the tiny sparks.

tell that tothis dead guy here

so where does it show phone causing it?

emmy512:
First off there's no way your phone will ignite burning gas.
The cause wasn't the phone but carelessness.
How would anybody on gas and keep then attend to phone calls.
The right thing is to light the matches first take it close to the burner and on the gas.

Camp gas are usually the cause of all this things.

Every flammable gas or liquid can go off with a phone nearby. Even fuel. So while you're reading this also make sure your phone is never close to fuel..

May her soul rest in peace.

not sure it's the phone could be gas leak but still we should be careful even me sef I'm very careful of these things

Mbenny:
there is something Airforce 1 are not telling us. how comes the fire used on the gas cylinder doesn't cause explosion and why only phone does.

Because, air is introduced into the vacuum (i.e. the burner) first, then gas is allowed to mix with the air in the burner before ignited. Remove the burner, ignite and see the result (Please, don't try this).
For the phone, it sends signal in frequencies of light waves(infrared ray, microwave; depending on the model of phone). Which causes the gas molecules to move more rapidly, collision occurs, resulting to explosion (i.e. release of heat/thermal energy). It occurs when the gas/fuel is switched ON, or there are leaks, or during fetching; cos it is during these times that their molecules are allowed to interact with the environment. In Physics, we call it an "Open System".

Dunuac:
okay I’ve been using phone near cooking has since and I will stop today

the video is a clickbait

That's why it has many dislikes on YouTube..

What happened has been explained in the comments in the video and it is not related to cellphone.

So it is not a lie that phone calls makes gas cooker explode. Some people were saying it is impossible.

True, I pray may we never taste evil in life throughout our life time, amen

Na today !! Gas bad o. One fyn gal for my school dat year na gas finish her if u see her u no go recognize her. Dis lyf nobody knows tomorrow

Ah.... She actually died! Sorry doh!!
I didn't get to that part, wished she was able to survive it, sobs!!!

NewBea:

It baffles me too.
But I think the gas fumes have to be present for such to happen.
I don't think it happened while the gas was already lit.

coincidence, but yesterday, i dream of gas leaking from gas cooker and it could have exploded and got me too, but, i put the fire close to the leaking gas out.

Are these Nigerian gas stations where everyone is not safety conscious. Do you have gas stations in Nigeria where there are signs with instructions pasted clear enough on "Dos and Donts" when you are at a gas station?
You know you folks are special people. I suppose a shout of "blood of Jesus" will put out the flame.

We are used to not obeying.

Eees not only you. How come it only happens in Nigeria and experts say there's nothing like that?

NewBea:

Hmm, if u don't understand that one, try dropping your phone in a drum of fuel

RADIATION

C'mon will you get out of here...

ajl:



Even at gas stations you are advised to release static electricity in your body before touching the pump. One can do this by touching certain objects or materials before going near the pump.

Interesting. Just learning this.

authority2006:

If there is highly flammable gas in the air, static electricity from our cloth is more than enough to cause explosion. But phone calls causing explosion near petrol or gas still remains fiction, no one has been able to prove it. People attempted it but nothing happened

Perfecto!!!!

Ogbomoso?

My research have shown that we can reduce this risk by:
1) Selecting the color of the gas cylinder: some Colors are more reactive than the other. Since gases are reactive, their cyclinders/containers should be less reactive, to equal the result.
Always choose these Colors(White, Red, Blue, Green), while painting or buying containers for inflammable or reactive substances.
2) Keep in a cold environment: what causes explosion is when the molecules move more rapidly. This is because their temperature increases, hence in process of moving more rapidly, collision occurs. This results to expansion, extension, even explosion.
For example, can you stay in a hot room with ten persons? No! The same goes for these molecules.
So, always keep the gas cylinders/containers cool. By keeping them in a cold environment, or applying water on the walls of the cylinders/containers. Then the inflammable (or gas) molecules will slow down in motion.
For instance, if you pour cold water on yourself, you stay cool, right? The same goes for these molecules.
