so putting batteries in the fridge wasn't useful after all, we should put them in the oven
I tried it on my car but it doesn't turn on anymore. Deceiving news
This turns everyone else on, though.
Sounds like a 4chan prank, but... 🪦
Thanks, climate change.
Wait, nobody came up with this before?
Warning: heating earbuds batteries to over 300F also causes fires
Reading this tells me the author has absolutely 0 idea of how physics work and is nothing but a blogger of consumer grade equipment. People like that should refrain from trying to understand how science or scientists work.
Obviously, physics aren't done in Fahrenheit.
Had to laugh at your comment. Not that it matters in this case, your ear buds are not going to magically combust at just 150°C
They'll not combust, I'd hazard a guess that air pods are made from ABS which has a glass transition temperature of 105C, so they will melt.
Dimethyl carbonate boils at 90° so the battery could pop
ABS which has a glass transition temperature of 105C, so they will melt.
Well, they’ll deform. ABS won’t melt at 150°C, it’ll just become soft and flexible. But yes, it’s a bad idea for your earbuds.
