content: He says: "oops; cover came off, but I don't want to fill the room with microwaves!"That, actually, might be cool, (entertaining) to watch, and plus the power level might be high enough to play around with (educational).Cook a dead cow...but that might take 7 minutes. Warm up a HOT TUB ??I'd try cooking a COUCH, ...if it was me.For silliness, try 'cooking a microwave oven'.You could, also try cooking your 'Use Permit', issued by local Fire Marshall.Speaking of which: at some point you would want a permit, or need a permit, ultimately.Sneaking is ethical, I hear, if you don't flaunt it.Not 'getting caught' WAS the new morality.At present, the ethics could be: "I'm not going to answer that."Tell THAT to your local Fire Marshall.

content: I've wondered for a while what the max power output of a household magnetron is.at a minimum you should be able to double it because its running off a half wave voltage doubler.then maybe double it again before it arcs over internally.
