Yeah, right. With the heat of the burning water you could power a kettle, which emits a whistle when boiling, making a sign to the monkey on the home trainer, which is connected with some :crank:, which hits the hamster box, driving a power generator, to which you plug your radio station? Or wait, I am confusing [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Machine"]something[/URL].

How come they didn't print the radio frequencies it works at?

Because they don't want every bored kid with an RF generator running down to the beach to burn up the ocean.
