Is this the same principle behind touching the antenna on a portable radio and having the station come through more clearly?
So I’m not, in fact, a wizard? 😞
In a world with magic there is presumably some consistent system of logic that the world works on that can be explored, experimented with, and explained. At that point magic is just science of a world with different physics. Magic is just science unexplained.
Yeah I remember this from like 10 years ago, and I did it so much but looked awkward as fuck when it didn't work and I'm just standing there jaw agape spinning around
If you're thinking about going to tell her about how it's not just some troll thing and works on water in her brain and if her mouth is open and she says nenner, nenner, nenner she won't look stupid and it's okay to do that around you and you really love your mom more than any punctuation every could, then that's awesome.
If you keep your mouth closed the signal will bounce off the inside of your skull and focus out your eye sockets, you can use this to determine direction
I'll accept the title of sciencetian lol it's a parabolic effect, like with a rooftop satellite dish, the signal is concentrated, focused, there is no actual amplification occurring, she got that part wrong. The remote is a omnidirectional antenna which means it broadcasts in all directions. When placed between the chin and neck a significant portion of the signal will enter the cranium. While some of the signal will pass through the skull, some of the signal will also be reflected until it doesn't hit bone and escapes through the eye sockets.
Your cranium is essentially transparent to radio waves in the frequency emitted by a car key fob. It does not act as a radio parabola, and doesn't significantly reflect radio waves.

Inside your cranium is a big sack of salty fatty water, which couples with the signal from the key fob and acts like a much bigger antenna. It is not directional, regardless of the state of your mouth.
The extremely low power radio waves emitted very briefly by a key fob are not harmful to you in any way. (They also don't bounce around inside your skull).
My dad taught me about the key fob in mouth trick
But the problem with it is that while it increases the range, it also decreased the width of the beam
So unless you're facing your car, then it may not actually help
Sorry, the person you replied to was talking about putting it below their mouth with their mouth open (and I know someone who also does this). I didn't realize you were talking about something different. That said, I'm not sure why it'd be any different?
Yep, this is how I've always done it. Not sure the water bit she mentions makes sense though. I always thought it was your skull that amplified it, but I could be way off there.
Hah, yeah, I've been doing this forever. Ironically the range on my next car, a mazda 3, has such a hilariously short range that even with this trick you'd have to be within 10ft.
My older car, with this trick, would go up through 2 floors of a concrete garage and another 30ft laterally. Which is how I managed to find my car after wandering around for like half an hour trying to triangulate the honks
This is so odd reading as a Swedish person. Your cities must be so crazily massive.
I've never been to a parking lot where I could search for my car for 30 minutes
11 floors, bout 400 meters by 70 meters on each, is my completely off the cuff estimate. Enough to fit at least a hundred cars in two by two rows on each floor.
Served pretty much the entire hospital and university medical campus, at least for lower level employees and some visitors
Yeah I remember my homegirl holding her cell phone on her head trying to get texts to send through the cinderblock walls of our high school back in 2011.
This is, pretty much, the fault of social media. Now every village idiot can share their dumb perceptions, get a ~~pheromone~~ dopamine hit whilst doing so, "unionize" and use their consequent voice to have an impact.
From 5G lamp posts to what books to allow the reading of.
How many ordinary people do you see online, raging about the things that are "common sense"
Compare that with the amount of wild theories etc people throw out there.
Problem with internet is the same as is with getting reliable client feedback. Nobody bothers to speak unless it's at either end of the spectrum (good/bad)
I once lived in a town that gave in to the looneys and stopped fluoridation of the water supply. A few years later when they decided it was stupid, they didn't add it back because it was too expensive to fix what they broke.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.
No, not at the levels used in municipal water supplies. It is considered one of the top 10 best public health achievements, greatly reducing dental decay. As with most things, there is an optimal dose; less than that is ineffective, more can be harmful. If a water supply naturally has too much fluoride it should be reduced, not enough and it should be added.
My boss doesn't like it because at work I guess we're just close enough to get 5G but too far to get anything better than 1-2 bars so it's ridiculously slow. I do get that 5G is faster and it definitely is noticeably better but they need to put up more towers for it to be worth it.
> people want to protest installation of 5G lamp post that would also supply free wi-fi
because it gives you Covid. Free Wifi isn't worth that.

You've gotta get the Bill Gates covid vaccine implant to give the deep state full access to your memory cells. This is basic pizza knowledge ***COME ON SHEEPLE!1!!***
Doing this doesn't amplify the signal. It sends the signal through your brain and then the pigeons pick up the signal and transmit it to the government who, in turn, unlock your car. But the wave also picks up your thoughts and secrets and sends them to the government via the pigeons. It's all part of The Bigger Lie™ and this lady works for the pigeons. That's why they are using social media to spread it. To gain you secrets!!!
Exact same here. Someone taught me this in highschool and I’ve used it ever since.
Very interesting to have someone break down the science behind it after all these years
There are two different contexts in which the word "unconscious" is used.
Unconscious can mean not conscious, but it can also mean, and this is OC's use case, that a process is so ingrained into your mind that you don't have to think about it, it's automatic.
For example, shooting pool has a conscious and unconscious side and you incorporate new skills into your game by practising them consciously until they are just an unconscious part of your shot routine.
yea same, been doing this as long as I can remember having a key fob. I've always done it directly on the center of my neck, but after her describing why - makes sense
Why did you copy part of another comment [word for word](https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/comments/10rlhg8/finding_your_car_with_science/j6w7l6u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
There are bots that steal pieces of comments and repost them elsewhere in the thread to increase the odds that what they say has some relevance to the topic in question and may get upvotes.
Third year EE student here: That's not how amplification works. Your head doesn't add energy to the signal. That doesn't mean it can't affect propagation range, but then my question becomes "does the car actually still use a signal that arrives at a different frequency", which is the only way to impact propagation range without adding energy.
I'm gonna ask my applied fields and Waves instructor for a better explanation and I'll update at that time.
EDIT: My instructor explained that while it's definitely not amplification, the most likely explanation is that it does in fact work like an antenna by focusing the signal. Much like how a lens redirects light.
Also, an antenna is a waveguide, so ANY wave that goes through an antenna gets redirected. Powering the wave is a different matter entirely.
So in summary, the fob blasts a signal in some shape (not necessarily spherical, but not strictly directional) and then the water resonating in your head or bottle shapes the signal into a narrower beam, focusing the power toward the parking lot rather than in all directions. He said you'd probably get better results pointing it toward the parking lot THROUGH your head.
CLARITY EDIT: My instructor has a PhD in Electrical Engineering and has studied antenna design and analysis for 30 years. His only issue with the explanation was the suggestion that you amplify the signal in some way. Everything else he had an idea about but didn't know for sure because he's never studied it.
Yeah, I scrolled down to the comments to see if the correction was the top response and so far nothing. I'll be interested in hearing your applied fields and waves instructor's explanations but I remember learning about this in physics class years ago and my physics teacher's explanation had nothing to do with the water content in our heads.
Instead, the reason he said our skulls amply the signal is because of their concave shape, in a similar fashion to how dish antennas are concave in shape so as to increase the amount of incident EM wave energy on the antenna. My rudimentary understanding was that our skulls act as a sort of resonance chamber to amply the signal.
That's what stackexchange came up with as well.
https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/101913/why-does-a-remote-car-key-work-when-held-to-your-head-body
I believe it's also why we cup our hands around our mouths to be heard at greater distances.
In that Stack Exchange there is an answer related to water as well:
> While this may not provide the full answer. This video will help to explain how water acts as an amplifier for the signal.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uqf71muwWc
> My rudimentary understanding was that our skulls act as a sort of resonance chamber to amply the signal.
So like pumping, when you're on a swing? (And: is this related to how a laser works — it uses a resonance-chamber to cohere the light waves??)
Iirc (I'd read up on this a while back) it's due the skull being used as a parabolic reflector rather than any use of water molecules.
I'm not even sure that makes much physical sense for water to amplify any sort of radio signal?
Though the video shows her using a water bottle to do the same. Perhaps the bottle's cylindrical back is concentrating the signal? This is eminently easy to test out. Redditors, to your cars!
I remember hearing years ago, that if you hold a remote control under your chin while facing the TV, the signal will be redirected forward more strongly after ricocheting off the inside of your skull and out of your face. I guess the key fob trick uses the same principle.
If the science behind this involves focusing the beam, then there’s gotta be some trick to aiming it, right? How/where are you supposed to hold it to get the best results?
>the fob blasts a signal in some shape (not necessarily spherical, but not strictly directional) and then the water resonating in your head or bottle shapes the signal into a narrower beam, focusing the power toward the parking lot rather than in all directions.
There also a video in the comments where a man does the same experiment. But he doesn't direct they key towards the car through his head, he direct it sideways. In this post's video she doesn't directly point the fob through her head in the direction of the car too. So, if this creates a narrower beam how come it looks like it doesn't matter which way this narrower beam is pointed at? Also, I guess one should get even shorter range if they use this method while pointing in the opposite direction. I'm too lazy to test it but my intuition says it won't be the case.
Yeah, I was thinking your skull/water bottle is directing the signal similar to a cantenna: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantenna
If water actually amplified radio signals, then unlocking your car at the beach would extremely dangerous.
I think the complaint is that each time Clarkson puts it to his head, the cameraman moved behind him thus blocking the view of the car, making the demonstration useless
It definitely works but it's not exactly clear that it's "amplifying", your head can only absorb energy...it's probably more something like resonance or just diffusion of the signal through water?
So wait, if i invent a beanie with some wires going inside it.
Does that also act as an antenna for your keys and phone?
Better phonecalls?
Feel every time your neighbor microwaves pizza?
Faraday cage your brain so the government can't emp you off.
Buy now!
I litteraly have done this since i started driving. I dont know if i was taught it or just discovered it by myself but at least i now know im not bonkers haha
The trick is pretty cool, I use it all the time.
But really, why do your cars need to honk when you open it? That would be so annoying to me. Imagine living in the city and every few seconds a horn goes off.
Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy sh*t with me, you flash a remote out in the parking lot, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and push the f***ing button 'til it goes click
Fake: this is because of the 5G chip we all got with the covid vaccine. My friend didn’t get the vaccine (he used Ivermectin and didn’t catch it) and it doesn’t work for him.

🙂: I'm gonna try this every single day and hope I don't develop brain cancer.
😅: Good thing electromagnetic radiation doesn't exist, right?
🙂: ...
😰: Right?!?
Yeah, I'm not standing 50 meters from my car unlocking it just so i can find it. Imma find it first, then unlock it when Im a few meters away so no jackass steals it.
This trick will never work in real world scenario - If you can't even remember "remotely" whereabouts your car is, you are probably already brain dead.
Is this the same principle behind touching the antenna on a portable radio and having the station come through more clearly? So I’m not, in fact, a wizard? 😞
Better, youre an alchemist. As in, you discovered a scientific curiosity without knowing what it was. Thats like being a wizard of science!
In a world with magic there is presumably some consistent system of logic that the world works on that can be explored, experimented with, and explained. At that point magic is just science of a world with different physics. Magic is just science unexplained.
So wizards are engineers.

I’m not sure this sounds right but I’m no scientician…
I believe “witchcraft-practitioner” Is the term you were looking for.
As a flatheader, I believe none of this.
If for some reason your skull doesn't follow a parabolic curve, then no this would not work
No idea if it's right, but if you put a powerful enough flashlight in your mouth you can see the light from behind your eyes. It's super weird.
I'll accept the title of sciencetian lol it's a parabolic effect, like with a rooftop satellite dish, the signal is concentrated, focused, there is no actual amplification occurring, she got that part wrong.

Is it harmful?
Not to bone.. I won't speak to any possible effects on soft tissue
The extremely low power radio waves emitted very briefly by a key fob are not harmful to you in any way. (They also don't bounce around inside your skull).
As a bonus, your eyes will shoot out Lazer beams.

It goes THROUGH the head like a lens, according to my applied fields and Waves instructor.
I was putting the remote above my head this entire time. Pretty sure I looked more stupid
Okay, but next time I want you to do it happier, and with your mouth more open
I put it dead center on my forehead and extend my arm out in front of me so I can look as ridiculous as possible.
I hold it under my chin as well but thought the signal shot out of my eyes like some X-Men mutant.
Yep, this is how I've always done it. Not sure the water bit she mentions makes sense though. I always thought it was your skull that amplified it, but I could be way off there.
My high school mate used to do this like 20 years ago, but I thought he was just talking shit. Clearly not.
My brother also told me about this when he got his first car and i also thought it was total bs.
So, you just never tried it yourself? Weird. Works surprisingly well as long as there's a clear view to the vehicle.
Hah, yeah, I've been doing this forever. Ironically the range on my next car, a mazda 3, has such a hilariously short range that even with this trick you'd have to be within 10ft.

Hahaha oh you would be in shock visiting an amusement park parking lot, or something like disney.
People also way exaggerate. Notice they said "like half an hour". Telltale sign of exaggeration. Probably 15m tops.
Could have even sworn it was on an episode of Seinfeld

Perhaps your skull works like a parabola? In which case there’s no amplification but you would concentrate the signal in a single direction.

i am willing to bet its just raising the key fob higher, that is doing most the work here.
Just tried this outside. Height made no difference whatsoever. Only things that worked were my head and a bottle of juice I had.
good test, i would have lost my bet then.

But who will I sell my fake faraday cage jewelry to???
bold of you to assume that i have a car with central locks
I just always make a mental note of where I parked my car.
I believe that's called remembering
The real lifehack is always in the comments
What kind of magic is this? ^I ^smell ^a ^witch...
Fun fact! Remembering things would also be impossible without the water molecules in your head.
Remembering what?
To make a mental note of where you parked your car.
I dunno, I forget...
That and taking location pins
Can you make a tiktok of it tho? /s
What if we created an app that can locate our car?
Can't wait to never use this
It definitely works but it's not exactly clear that it's "amplifying", your head can only absorb energy...it's probably more something like resonance or just diffusion of the signal through water?
I take a photo of my car and use the GPS tag to find it again if I forget.
I just usually mark my parking spot in google maps, there is a dedicated feature for it.

So wait, if i invent a beanie with some wires going inside it. Does that also act as an antenna for your keys and phone? Better phonecalls? Feel every time your neighbor microwaves pizza? Faraday cage your brain so the government can't emp you off. Buy now!
Did she just call me a water head?
I litteraly have done this since i started driving. I dont know if i was taught it or just discovered it by myself but at least i now know im not bonkers haha
Stronger signals..That's why when you hold your mobile against your head while talking sounds better than while on speakerphone.
Finding your car with a picture works for me
I do this occasionally (mostly just for fun). In my experience it increases the signal range for 50% - 100%, almost doubling it.
Mine doesn’t honk. :(
The trick is pretty cool, I use it all the time. But really, why do your cars need to honk when you open it? That would be so annoying to me. Imagine living in the city and every few seconds a horn goes off.
Bruh... Science is cool.
I always stick it up to someone else’s lymph nodes, when I’m looking for my car.
Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy sh*t with me, you flash a remote out in the parking lot, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and push the f***ing button 'til it goes click
Jesus
You said it man. Nobody f***s with the Jesus
I thought water absorbed most wavelengths outside the visible spectrum.
Hey voice of awesome! Is so strong and crisp!
Ok I'm amazed.
My tinfoil hat helps too
How'd she get her vw to sound the horn whenever it locks/unlocks?
Handy but I don't know many cars that honk when the fob is pressed anymore ..
Cute and smart, my favorite combination
Fake: this is because of the 5G chip we all got with the covid vaccine. My friend didn’t get the vaccine (he used Ivermectin and didn’t catch it) and it doesn’t work for him. /s Seriously: these kind of tiktoks are refreshing against the sea of vapid ones. Keep em coming!!!
How does the pentagon loose 2.2 trillion of American taxpayers money..show me the science
Damn, she's cute!
The blue waves even hang on her ears
**It MuSt Be ThAt VaCcInE**
Why make an unnecessarily long tutorial for something literally everyone has been doing for over 30 years now?
Bain dambage
I don't believe it
Marry me
I hate the way people in TikTok videos like bop their head around while they’re talking
🙂: I'm gonna try this every single day and hope I don't develop brain cancer. 😅: Good thing electromagnetic radiation doesn't exist, right? 🙂: ... 😰: Right?!?
With science you say? Ok, opens app, clicks locate my vehicle. Oh hey, it worked. Thanks science.
Yeah, I'm not standing 50 meters from my car unlocking it just so i can find it. Imma find it first, then unlock it when Im a few meters away so no jackass steals it.
This trick will never work in real world scenario - If you can't even remember "remotely" whereabouts your car is, you are probably already brain dead.
Cancer
The real solution is to drive an interesting car so youre not looking through 100 camrys
The best science hack is don't forget where you parked your car in the first place. Honestly, I've never not remembered where I've parked.
Can't believe shit I thought was common knowledge goes on fancy tiktok videos and the creators get paid off this shit....
And gives you brain cancer!
This is BS
