If so, then don&#8217;t even THINK about trying any of these experiments. I&#8217;m serious. If I wreck my microwave oven, I can buy another. Also, I&#8217;m a professional electrical engineer. I know enough physics and RF effects to take correct safety precautions when I&#8217;m experimenting. But you don&#8217;t know the precautions, so you should be smart: read and enjoy my writing, but don&#8217;t duplicate my tests unless you grow up to become an electronics tech, engineer, etc., and buy your OWN microwave oven.<\/p>\n<p>Upon consideration, probably shouldn&#8217;t show it to Justin, either.<\/p>\n<p><small>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geekpress.com\/2004_09_23_daily.html#109591870483729716\" target=\"_blank\">GeekPress<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unwise Microwave Oven Experiments.
