Gyu-Kaku!


This past weekend, my family and I went to Gyu-Kaku to celebrate my Uncle's birthday. While we were there, I realized that the charcoal grills presented good physics. Although it isn't always visible, there are powerful heat waves coming from the charcoal grill. When we ordered our raw meat and placed it on the grill, the heat waves transfer its energy to the meat. This transfer cooks the meat and makes it edible and tasty. On the edge of the table, our server could alter the amount of heat being emitted by the charcoal grill. The more he added, the higher the frequency of the heat waves. If too many powerful heat waves are transferring energy to the meat, the meat just gets burnt. I hate burnt meat. Yuck!
