Reason why mobile phones should not be used at the Gas Station

For those who frequent refueling or who like to pay attention to its surroundings, would never see the prohibition in nearly every gas station to use the phone during charging. Although it is not uncommon for people to not obey the ban, any ban would have no reason was his. Violating the ban is almost always a consequence. So its the same thing with the prohibition to use this phone.

So really whether the reason HP / phone is not allowed at the pump? His explanation is below

An HP, in addition to issue a high frequency, also issued sparks though only in very small quantities (1 micron. 1 micron = 1 / 100 mm). Sparks was out of about antenna coil, which is caused by voltage potential difference which is quite high. Besides, there are also kebanykan HP LED (Light Emitting Diode) which also give off light. LED in use on different HP LED dg yg electronics sold in the market. At the time of the LED lamp lights up, there will be incandescent.

In ordinary circumstances, sparks and incandescent LED is actually not enough to ignite gasoline vapor (benzene C4H8O12) in the open air. But gasoline is a volatile fuel. Therefore, the air around the gas station could have been saturated (filled by upa gasoline), gasoline vapor is then burned by a spark will be able to reply quite small. The effect yes DUARRR explosion in the air.

It is this concern. At the time of the gas due to gasoline vapor that evaporates into the vicinity of the phone who is our life, then chances are our ears explode is immense.

So stick to the ban for not using the HP at any gas station for the safety of your own.

The experiment below shows that with some HP calls around the area that have gasoline, the fire could occur. Can be tried at home for those of you who wondered.

Provide the equipment:
A pot, a little card / paper, 1 roll of aluminum foil, 1 Handhone / Mobile
