Microwave, would it work for this?

They already exist. Here's one report related to one product and an analysis of advantages versus disadvantages. \nhttp://www.epri.com/OrderableitemDesc.asp?oilnid=122490&targetnid=12&marketnid=5&oitype=1&oilnum=TR-104988&searchdate=5/13/95\n\nAnd, another discussion:\nhttp://www.europa.com/~ruralite/energy%20topics/laundry.html\n\nAnd, a trade journal article:\nhttp://www.appliancemagazine.com/ae/editorial.php?article=150&zone=215&first=1

Ar e you talking about a microwave oven?  It is very dangerous to put metal in microwaves.  The radiation used in a microwave is designed to be a specific wavelength that is preferentially absorbed by water.  But meatl can greb all wavelengths, and via the photoelectric effect, it can turn the microwave photons into electrical sparks that could start a fire.

Of course it would. There would just be no one around to HEAR it. That doesn't mean it wouldn't make NOISE! Gah, I hate when people ask this question! (No offense!)

Well at the moment the frequency that microwaves use (2.4GHz) is the best one for wireless. But in about a year (or two) wireless will be using better frequencies that don't interfere with phones. For now you can get 802.11a routers and cards which work on a lower frequency. The one drawback of those is that they interfere with older phones and the speed is slower.

Y dont you try tortilla wraps.  Or how about cooking savory rice. Maybe plain rice and put your own ingredients in it.  You could plate up any kind of dinner to warm up in the microwave.

one time i saw someone put metal in a microwave and all of a sudden electricity was shooting around in the inside of the microwave. it was awesome

The microwave oven emitts a strong magnetic field when it operates. That magnetic field screws with sensitive electronics. Your detector may be sensitive to it.

Yes, it still will transmit a signal, but it probably will be very weak. If you are close enough to it, it might be able to get you on the internet. You can buy an antenna, at radio shack, that just screws in, where the old antenna was, very cheap..good luck..

Your questions don't pack the usual punch they have in the past. Are you running out of outrageous scenarios for us?  Based on your husband's faux past behavior I seriously doubt that he even allows you to use the microwave. I don't believe you even have a microwave. He's such a controlling old fashioned stifling phony spouse that he would never allow that appliance in the house. \n\nBut here's my advice: buy some of those flimsy paper plates and wear socks on your hands.

I sure hope so, since I've been eating microwaved food for more than 40  years.  Microwaves are just another way of heating food for cooking.  If anythiing, some foods (mainly vegetables) cooked in a microwave are heathier than stove top cooking since very little water is used that can dissolve vitamins and minerals.

The 1800 has double the energy emission but both are pretty much negligable to the human anatomy\n\nAnd no, being near microwave-oven frequencies doesn't matter. Many many wireless consumer items use the 2.4ghz frequency and no ones brain is being fried.... unless you're infront of the tv 12 hours a day... but that's a differnet story

At the heart of a microwave oven is a device called a magnetron which generates electromagnetic waves at extremely high frequencies. The magnetron is also used in radar systems. When the high-frequency radiation interacts with various materials, particularly materials containing moisture, their molecules vibrate at frequencies close to that of the radiation, thus heating the material.

Yes, the plastic will...(You get a cooler effect if you put it in a microwave though)

microwaves...everybody has to eat lunch!

yes and no. It depends which studies you are looking at.\nThere are studies that show no difference in the food cooked traditionally vs. in the microwave.\nBut there are as well studies that implicate the food cooked in the microwave may no be as healthy as when cooked traditionally.\n\nIf you have other possibilities to cook, best mix your cooking techniques. If you have only a microwave don't drive yourself crazy. It is always better and less expensive to eat balanced home cooked meals than to eat out all the time.

In a can, possibly not... size/space restrictions will make it hard to build or position it accurately.\nWith a dish, though, you should see a substantial antenna gain over a regular "stub"

Clean your microwave. Clean the stove while you're at it.
