Question:

Metal in a Microwave?

I want to microwave some cellphones for a YouTube video, but I don't know how badly that will damage the microwave. The microwave was being thrown out, so I'm okay with breaking it. However, I want to keep it alive as long as possible. If I were to microwave these cellphones, then the next week a DVD, then the next a radio; how long would this microwave last? I know it would damage it, but how many times could I do this before it breaks?

Answer:

I`ve had mine less than a year and it decided to sing at 3 am and not shut up. The hush button stopped working so I had no choice but to shut it down completely. (My husband was getting up for work in just over an hour and my dog was in agony.) I had bought it because I wanted to not have the low battery signal setting off my dog during the night. Ironically I was looking to buy two more of these for the other levels of my house because it seemed like such a great idea. I`m going back to the one`s that I can rip the battery from if I need to. What a waste of $50.
In water, the hydrogen is already combusted that's oxidized maximally to H2O, so it won't be able to burn any extra. somewhat, while hydrogen burns, it is going to become H2O. besides, that's no longer plenty the chemistry of water that places out fires, however the actual consequence. It lowers the temperature and snuffs out the availability of gaseous oxygen.
no it`s detected heave smoke only
There are two types of smoke detectors - Ionization and photocell. Ionization detectors (AKA products-of-combustion detector) are less prone to trip from steam unless the steam is very concentrated or carrying other contaminants that will be ionized by the radioactive element in the unit. Photocell detectors will trip when anything in the air interferes with the photo-cell and LED system including dust, steam, smoke and so forth. Each has its advantages. Ionization detectors are quite sensitive, usually cheaper than photocell types but require proper disposal. Photocell detectors will respond to many different kinds of substances in the air but are somewhat less sensitive to hot, clean burning fires that do not make much smoke. They also contain no hazardous materials. I expect you have photocell detectors. You can reduce their sensitivity by cleaning them (follow package directions) but steam in quantity will trip them no matter what you do.
