Can you play with your cell phone at the gas station?

Four people have been killed in an explosion at a petrol station in puyang, China. Today we´re going to do an experiment:

Dip in with cotton buds to a small amount of ether, between two balls on the motor, wait ether will evaporate into steam, imitate the state of the volatile gas leak, the electrostatic when turning machine, the flame shot up all of a sudden. It was the ether vapor that caught fire.

Experts say that when a phone receives or emits high frequency electromagnetic waves, it will have high frequency current, and if the phone has bad contact or other circumstances, it will have the opportunity to generate electric sparks. As long as the spark lasts for a microsecond, and the discharge energy is 6 milliwatts, it may cause gas to burn.

So, we also avoid to use the phone at a gas station, if it is a self-service gas station, don´t back to the bus during refueling, also don´t get on the car pocket of mobile phones, to prevent the body again by electrostatic. In the process of refueling, the hand should always hold the oil gun, and the oil gun should reach into the tank as far as possible, so as to reduce the volatile gasoline in the process of refueling and reduce the ignition medium at the source.
