Is it technically difficult to detect abnormal microwave energy in this kind of situation? I know you can get a microwave oven leak detector for about thirty dollars.
- amelius 5y agoThese detectors might very well be a scam targeted at people who believe any kind of radiation is bad for them.
- MrYellowP 5y agoBecause this story is related to Vienna and your post fits ... Let me tell you about the viennese hotdog stand owner who had three microwaves running at all time, to heat food quickly. Open. Behind his back. There was a glass in between the customers and him, shielded, but the pressure of the microwaves (heat, i guess?) could be felt through the opening, where he hands out the food. Of course it killed him eventually.
- user-the-name 5y agoPretty sure that is entirely an urban legend.
- ineedasername 5y agoI don't know, I can easily believe that there are hot dog vendors in Vienna. Probably even one that has a silly name for English-speaking tourists like "Wurst Hotdogs!"
- MrYellowP 5y agoNo, it isn't, because I was there. My above post was clearly written in a way that makes it obvious to see that I was there. I've felt it on my own skin.
- amelius 5y agoI think the microwave is designed so that the radiation resonates in a cavity. Once you open the cavity, the waves spread in all directions and the energy drops off very quickly.
- sgc 5y agoThey are contained by front door, which has a metal lattice to create a Faraday cage. Of course they drop off in open air, but leaking microwaves are not safe.
