Making an electronic weapon out of microwave oven (Score 1)

This should only be done as a desperate last resort. If you have neighbors who ruin the quality of life in your home because they insist upon playing loud music on a disc player (or any other electronic device) and the law refuses to help and you cannot move because property values are destroyed by the niose pollution, you can fight back with microwaves. Make a parabolic chamber about 1 1/4" thick. It should consist of two flat parabolas with a focal length of about 11/16" and 20" long. You will have a sort of pill box, the side of which is a parabolic reflector 1 1/4" wide and the microwaves will shoot out of the open end of the pill box. Surround this open groove like end with a second parabolic chamber that will refocus the line source formed by the groove like opening. This parabola will have the centre of the groove as its focal point and its focal length will be 1 1/4". It will be 10" long. This will beam a narrow pattern of concentrated microwaves that you can aim at an offending stereo. It will jam the circuits from 100 feet away but it is line of sight. At close range it can burn out a stereo. The probe from a magnetron is inderted through a hole made in the focal point of the first parabola, the power supply is hooked up and you are ready to go. Just aim it, step back, and plug it in. It takes up to 7 seconds to start up. If you are nervous about microwaves, do what I do. Wear a wire screen hood over the head and stuff the vaudevillian parts of the body into a tin can. (Actually it takes several minutes to do heat damage to any parts of the body and they usually shut off the stereo within seconds.) It takes at least 0.4 watts per square cm for an uninterrupted 5 minutes to cause testicles to explode and you will not even approach this, But rumors of people doing this and the ease with which it can be done will frighten people into keeping their unwanted music to themselves. However, do not do this unless every legal recourse has been thoroughly exhausted and document refusals of police and courts to help and do not tell them what you are about to do. If you are caught you will likely have a sympathetic juror who has also been victimized by forced loud music. It is also very difficult to catch you doing it without the legal complications of entrapment.
