Although many of us have MW ovens, I can name like one Saw movie and one DIY channel that showed it’s potential to melt things, and I watch\read a lot of gore and torture on the web. It won’t be used in a military context due to how power consumption and short distance make it useless. But in a Home Alone situation it seems promising, especially as a trap because you won’t stop anyone with that immidiately.
My qustions are:
- How a breaf exposure is dangerous, and can it be used not to harm but to scare off?
- How it’d be treated legally due to it’s weirdness?
- What are general downsides of that, like reflecting it back to the sender or dealing irreversible fatal damage etc?
I’m stupid at basic physics so I’m sure I miss something.
I don’t think most people will ever have access to a maser under any circumstances. If I am wrong, please let me know.
I wasn’t able to find much in the way of maser lethality, but apparently a 15w maser broadcasters can send photos to earth from Mars.
Edit:
I found this scurrilous web page that indicates a $1,500 “Maser rife” can kill 71 cows on a single charge but for some reason people only get knocked unconscious by it.
He also admits to what can only be a felony, but idk. Reads like BS to me.
