Has anyone ever heard of this it sounds a bit dangerous. Is there a safe way to work with Microwaves?
 

Re: Microwave

Sounds like you are confusing the term Microwaves with 'microwave oven' often called a microwave.
Anything above 1 or 3GHz ( depends who you talk to ) is considered to be microwaves, so wireless LAN equipment & satellite TV are all microwave.
Keep the power down and it is no more dangerous than any other electronics, just a bit more tricky to handle.

Don't mess with microwave ovens unless you know what you are doing, they can BITE HARD !

Re: Microwave

microwave oven are safe to work with enough safety is kept in mind while designing it and the frequency used in microwave oven is not harmful
 

Re: Microwave

Exposure to microwave energy can be dangerous if the power / unit area to which you are exposed is more than the safe limits. Microwave has generally heating effect on tissues.
 

Re: Microwave

Hi
for microwve range there are three popular ranges (most use this)
1- Cband from 4GHz-8GHz
2- Xband from 8GHz-12GHz
3-KUband from 12GHz-18GHz
but for danger the waves, that related with the output power that the scientist try to reduce it ( we talk about mW just and must not be more than)
