Are you sure of this. I think the bulb and fans are just spinning when the door is openned, not nessisarily the part that generates microwaves.[/quote]
there are two bulbs in the microwave, one for light and one for generating the microwaves. I agree with what you said that it probably is the light and fat on, and it is not emitting any microwaves.
A simple way to test this is stick a bowl of water in the microwave while it is open and you think it is running. if it is releasing microwaves, it will heat up.[/quote]
Sorry, try again. A microwave oven does have a light bulb, but the actual component that emits microwaves is called a magnetron. Microwave ovens are deisgned to impart a high wattage of power at a specific frequency (~2.45 GHz). While it may be possible to design a bulb that would emit a broad spectrum of microwave frequencies, it would be exceedingly difficult to get that bulb to emit high power at a single frequency.
Actually, microwave doors can be made from a wide variety of plastics, but typically they consist of an aluminum or stainless steel mesh embedded in polycarbonate
U.S. Military already has one. It was developed for crowd control. They want to use it in Iraq but a bunch of people got pissed. I think some senator actually indicated that it should be tried out on U.S. citizens before we use it somewhere else. I'm not joking, this was on the news recently.
Dear lord :roll: While I agree that heat is a form of radiation, and the various particles and waves emitted from radioactive materials are a form of radiation, radiation and radioactivity are NOT the same thing.
ra·di·o·ac·tiv·i·ty (rd--k-tv-t)
n.
1. Spontaneous emission of radiation, either directly from unstable atomic nuclei or as a consequence of a nuclear reaction.
2. The radiation, including alpha particles, nucleons, electrons, and gamma rays, emitted by a radioactive substance.
ra·di·a·tion (rd-shn)
n.
1. The act or process of radiating: the radiation of heat and light from a fire.
2. Physics
a. Emission and propagation and emission of energy in the form of rays or waves.
b. Energy radiated or transmitted as rays, waves, in the form of particles.
c. A stream of particles or electromagnetic waves emitted by the atoms and molecules of a radioactive substance as a result of nuclear decay.
3.
a. The act of exposing or the condition of being exposed to such energy.
b. The application of such energy, as in medical treatment.
4. Anatomy Radial arrangement of parts, as of a group of nerve fibers connecting different areas of the brain.
5.
a. The spread of a group of organisms into new habitats.
b. Adaptive radiation.
