A failed attempt for SSC on Saturday and the inside of a micro-wave oven could have been something to capture - yes there is electronic parts including a magnatron but no mechanical parts , the rotation of the turntable it seems is done underneath the cooking chamber and out of site . Well a new microwave is the order of the day !!
Inside the strong metal box, there is a microwave generator called a magnetron. When you start cooking, the magnetron takes electricity from the power outlet and converts it into high-powered, 12cm (4.7 inch) radio waves.
The magnetron blasts these waves into the food compartment through a channel called a wave guide.
The food sits on a turntable, spinning slowly round so the microwaves cook it evenly.
The microwaves bounce back and forth off the reflective metal walls of the food compartment, just like light bounces off a mirror. When the microwaves reach the food itself, they don't simply bounce off. Just as radio waves can pass straight through the walls of your house, so microwaves penetrate inside the food. As they travel through it, they make the molecules inside it vibrate more quickly.
Vibrating molecules have heat so, the faster the molecules vibrate, the hotter the food becomes. Thus the microwaves pass their energy onto the molecules in the food, rapidly heating it up.
In a conventional oven, heat has to pass from electric heating elements (or gas burners) positioned in the bottom and sides of the cooker into the food, which cooks mostly by conduction from the outside in—from the outer layers to the inner ones. That's why a cake cooked in a conventional oven can be burned on the edges and not cooked at all in the middle. People sometimes say microwave ovens cook food from the "inside out," which is a bit of a gloss and isn't quite correct. When people say this, what they really mean is that the microwaves are simultaneously exciting molecules right through the food, so it's generally cooking more quickly and evenly than it would otherwise.
Friday night view of the Microwave fire in Oregon along the Columbia River Gorge. THis fire started near Mosier, Oregon and has covered 1000 + acres above Columbia traveling nearly to Hood River, Oregon. It does not extend much south of that ridge, an area mostly grasslands, and much of it burned quickly through on the first night. The burning areas are mostly timbered rock ledges. This fire is referred to as the Microwave FIre because of its proximity and threat to the Microwave towers on the tallest ridgetop near Hood River.
Helicopters have been pulling water from the ponds near Mosier and Hood River... and because of the winds and updrafts from the fire on steep hillsides, the helicopters appeared to be struggling to get their buckets of water close enough to the blazes to actually help... I watched on Saturday while one came up from below with water, and seemed to move backwards instead of forward trying to get close enough. I also watched while something caught fire near the towers that flared up brilliantly on Saturday with clouds of black smoke rolling up through the orange smoke.
Fire... yes it fascinates me and horrifies me... and there have been so many widespread fires this year in so many areas.. one of many signs of severe planetary changes going on world wide.
As to interpreting those changes, well I leave that up to you... there are as many ideas on that as there are stars in the sky perhaps!
this shot straight off the camera... no time right now to mess with it.

Hi! We are about to take to the Badlands. Everything so beauteaux. Iowa's farm fields are plowed & some corn coming up - no problems. Expect more points of interest from now on.

Surprised to see this reversed city skyline reflected in the back wall (stainless steel) of my microwave when I opened the door, I naturally grabbed my camera to see what I could create :-) .

See below for a few more experimental reflection images.

Have a great Friday! So nice to see you!
"In 45 seconds, this electronic surface unit will cook eggs. One cup of water boils in two minutes!
The microwave tube that sends out cooking waves is directly below the fiberglass disk that holds the food to be cooked. The panel of switches on the wall will command the perforated hood to drop down and cover the disk. Cooking action starts only after the hood fits securely into groove around the disk, stops when the hood rises. The hood automatically goes up when the timer on the surface unit rings, stopping cooking action."
Wednesdays I have class from 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM so I have my doubts for the quality of images on these days

Note the white, rectangular waveguide running up into the NEXRAD radome. This hollow, microwave "plumbing" is the most efficient way to conduct the 2-4 MHz radar signal.

WEEK 24 – Overstock Southaven (I)
Up next beyond the appliances alcove we saw yesterday is another alcove, except this one is just a “de facto” alcove because it is created by two walls from other alcoves on either side of it, with no walls or drop ceiling of its own. Anyway, this area was formerly home to the “microwaves, ranges, and ovens,” per that sign. (cont.)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
I found this at a local gas station recently and had to buy it. The label hasn't looked like this in years, so I called the phone number on the back and read off the number stamped on the bottom. The guy I spoke to said "Well, this can't be possible...I show that your Microwave Meal was made in April of 1994!". I went back and bought the other two on the shelf ;-)
