Physicist shows how brainpower extends your key remote’s range to unlock your car

ARE you one of those who forgets where you parked your vehicle? A physicist, in a video, shows how your brainpower can help unlock it.

ARE you one of those who forgets where you parked your vehicle?

You know roughly where it is, but you can’t see it.

A physicist Professor Roger Bowley, in a video below, shows how our brain power and by holding the key remote next to your head can extend the remote’s range and unlock the vehicle.

It’s an unusual trick, perhaps a party act, but it can prove helpful in real situations that occur thousands of times a day.

You can use your brain like a radio transmitter and increase the range of the key remote because of interactions between electromagnetic waves and water, said Bowley, who worked at Nottingham University’s School of Physics and Astronomy, said in a video posted on Nottingham University’s Sixty Symbols’ YouTube channel, Rawstory reported.

The key remote works by sending electromagnetic waves to your car.

“If you walk away from the car, the signal coming out gets weaker and weaker and weaker,” Bowley said.

But water can extend the range of electromagnetic waves — and your brain is full of water.

When the waves go through water, they pull positively charged hydrogen ions and negatively charged oxygen ions in opposite directions and push them upwards and downwards, Bowley said.

“That means they’re behaving rather like a radio transmitter — as they’re going up and down, up and down, radiating energy,” he said.

The water in your head carries an electromagnetic wave that acts on the same frequency as the remote’s wave. The waves then add together and extend the range of your car key.

A jug of water can further boost the remote’s range, which you are unlikely to have in the event of an emergency but bear it in mind.
