here is what i find on a fast google search.

Estimated Times/Temperatures Causing a Full Thickness (third degree) Burn in Children/Adults
For Adults
If the temperature is 160 degrees fahrenheit, it would take 1 second [to cause a third degree burn];
If the temperature is 149 degrees fahrenheit [common home boiler setting], it would take 2 seconds;
If the temperature is 140 degrees, it would take 5 seconds;
If the temperature is 133 degrees, it would take 16 seconds;
If the temperature is 130 degrees [recommended setting], it would take 35 seconds;
If the temperature is 127 degrees, it would take 1 minute;
If the temperature is 125 degrees, it would take 2 minutes;
If the temperature is 124 degrees, it would take 3 minutes;
If the temperature is 120 degrees, it would take 10 minutes.

So if this is correct in what it says an aaverage temp for a flame is between 450 and 500+f so..

And wiki says pretty much the same thing.

I know of that, but what about the people filming it running away, why weren't their cameras affected? Better yet, why were the firefighters caught in WTC 1 as it came down and survived, why weren't their radios EM pulsed?


It depends on how many electrons were initially released (the density of the flux), and what is in between any of the two points that can induct current. Also which direction the electrons were sent out, if shaping is possible. Even if not possible, you would essentially have the same effect just by having so many floors of building still standing below, with all kinds of things that could soak up the currents. I really don't think there would have been THAT many electrons sent out to begin with, though.

If something can induct current, it can take away from the flux density. If the density is decreased enough, it can safely be inducted into circuits without destroying components. The important thing is that the power ratings of the components have to be exceeded, that's when they fail, explode, catch on fire, etc., at least if exposed to a high enough current or over a long enough time.

There was electrical/electronic damage that had to be replaced after 9/11, for example, in the building right next door to WTC7 there was major electronic destruction, millions of dollars of repairs, in the Verizon Building (NOT physically destroyed by debris). But the more mass that can conduct electricity between these points within the buildings, and any electronics, the more the flux density will be reduced. Even within the towers there was probably plenty of conductors to induct much of the currents.

again, it's an engine. after running your car for 30 mins. get out and put your hand on the engine head - then go to the hospital and have them fix you up.

engine are designed to run hot. a peice of paper is not going to set an engine on fire.


I was attempting to state that paper, which would create an open flame, could have easily made it into sections of a car where heat could ignite it. Didn't mean for my previous post to claim that paper to magically combust on it's own.


I was thinking that the paper would already be on fire. But anyway it's still very unlikely, even with an oil leak. It would be similar to the "weakened steel" theory. The temperature would have be be extremely hot and burn for a decent amount of time before anything in the engine would ignite, even oil. Unless your throttle body or fuel injector (or in an older car, a carburator) was leaking gas - and it'd have to be a good leak not just a drip here or there. Most throttle bodies sit above your engine head (which is one of the hottest components on your engine) so they are designed with extreme temperatures taken into account.

You'd be better off going with the interior, or even tires starting the initial combustion rather than anything in the engine.

I'm not saying that it cannot happen. But, it's very unlikely. And the odds of it happening to a lot of cars at once are ... well, about the same as a steel building collapsing from fire. lol.
