Radar - Father of the Microwave Oven

Microwave oven History.
Another spin off from WW2
just like the Cell phone. (see WindTalkers)
Many radar operators died of microwave related health effects (see Public Exposure )

The original microwave was working in her kitchen for 30yrs, did she get fried yet? there are microwave leak detectors that appliance repairmen use, if your afraid of it. or go to microwaves101 dot com to learn more

You can put a cell phone INSIDE a microwave oven,

call up the cell phone and it recieves the call inside the oven.

The so called shielding of the microwave oven does not work

Long distance transmittions are called Microwave relay stations,

cell phones are referd to by some industry people as microwave phones.

Our exposure to naturally occurring forms of radiation are far greater than that of microwave ovens and cell phones (the outside of microwave oven produces around the same as a wireless phone)while we all need to be aware of high levels of harmful radiation both natural and man made, it is unavoidable (the sun and radon gas for example). Staying away from all harmful sources of radiation would be impossible, minimizing your risk factors is all that you can do.

How come he didn't get cancer and die if he was so close to the radiation that the chocolate melted.

Of course, it's radiating. Microwave is radiation.

"The so called shielding of the microwave oven does not work"

Cell phones operate at a frequency range far below that of a microwave oven (.8-1.9 GHz).

It's easy to assume that, if a cooking chamber can shield higher frequencies from escaping, then it can shield against lower frequencies.  Not necessarily.

A better test would be seeing if a smartphone's or a netbook's wi-fi connection is interrupted with a microwave oven. Both Wi-Fi and microwave ovens operate at around 2.4 GHz.

Cool history i like it!

A microwave oven should be called a microwave radio frequency food irradiative poisoning device.

My seventy four dollar bug detector goes off when the microwave is leaking, goes off briefly when dialing on the cell phone, on a job site, using a rotating radar beam for setting grade, it went off everytime it came my way, the oven is going, and am getting a land line, survived without a cell in the past.

I am using my microwave the last time at this very moment. I am making popcorn and it is my last microwave food item.

I am trashing my microwave. Don't need it or want the health issues.

I've been told that microwave ovens from the 70s were more dangerous than the ones today.

[peterweetbeter]

The Nazis originally developed microwave "radiomissor" cooking ovens for use in their mobile support operations, for the invasion of Russia.

I am not taking any chances. I stay well clear from microwaves and I refuse to own one. I like the taste for food too much to kill it in a microwave.
