just curious, but does anyone know the minimum amount of watts that have to go into a corn seed before it pops?

here's a little info I found on cell power, I guess the real damage occurs from an Ionizing radiation.. eithway, those kernals seemed to pop faster using cell phones than my houshold microwave system could pop them. pretty scary

"Meanwhile, the total power emitted from the cell phone itself ranges from 0.75 to 1 watt. According to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), this is an acceptably safe amount of power for a cell phone since their cut-off or specific absorption rate  is only 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). As a result, the power radiated from a cell phone is considered as non-ionizing as opposed to ionizing. This means that it is safe and causes only a bit of heating as opposed to having enough electromagnetic energy to take apart the makeup of body tissue and trigger chemical reactions like x-rays do. Even so, the long-term effects of cell phone radiation are still not known so its best to just avoid the risks by checking the label the next time you purchase one."
