The mad scientist in me says to use a microwave magnetron pointing at the neighbor's house to fry all their 2.4 GHz stuff.. Could that work in principle?

- wankeler 6y agoCan you phase synchronise magnetrons? I thought they are a free running oscillator. Also circa 1kW not a safe thing to be spraying around, I think fleshy things might well be damaged.
