    It not heat either. Its the agitation of the water molecules within the popcorn that pops it. Production of heat is a side effect.

    You can do this without heat or any type of "waves".

    actualy cyber
    the heat causes the moisture to expand

    but mobile phones can not give out enough radiation to pop corn overwise mobiles wouldnt be deemed safe if there giving enough heat radiation to popcorn

    I didnt say anything about radiation. When water is in a contained enviroment the proper amount of excitement to the water molecules will produce heat.

    The expansion of water is only done by exciting the molecules so much that they need room to bounce around. Its this needed room from the excited water molecules that force the popcorn kernal to pop.

    As I said before, the production of heat is a product of making the water molecules excited and you do not need heat to excite the water molecules.

    You dont have to use radiation, heat, or microwaves to popcorn. Anything that excites the water molecules in the kernal can pop popcorn.

    Yeah

    Another way to explain this is having a heavy metal band play at a bar. With all those bodies just waiting for the band to play they are not too active. The air in within the enviroment is moderately cool.

    Once the band begins to play, the bodies begin to get excited and then start headbanging and attempt to form mosh pits. The air in the enviroment begins to get warmer, cause the movement of bodies produce heat.

    When you start headbanging and joining in mosh pits, you need some type of space, dont you?

    the band = the variable that excites the water molecules
    the bar = the contained enviroment
    the bodies = water molecules


    It's how I explained it to my son. He is into science and hard rock.

    LOL, no thanks. Teachers make crappy wages. I learn so I can teach my kids and help them.

    Only thing you really need to do to teach someone properly, is relate the subject to something they are fond of.
