OhGizmo!: Private: FlashPoint Mini-Microwave Torch

  • fireball87 · 1 year ago
    Finally a sure fire way to give people both cancer and third degree burns from a somewhat safe distance.

    Sounds like BS to me.

    Microwave ovens depend on the reflections of the metal walls to build up standing waves.

    And I don't think the governments (at least not the Western ones) would sanction the production of a device that could cause microwave burns and cancer.

    Probably just some bozos Photoshop dreaming or an art student's made-up ad presentation.

    it looks more like just a heating lamp from a buffet table, put into a flashlight body

    This wouldn't work (has even been tested by Mythbusters, they tried to cook a chicken with a radar dish) and would be dangerous as hell. Besides, you batteries wouldn't last a minute.

    Not a spoof as it says at original link:

    Its the "patent pending" part that gives it away, this is a concept which has not been produced.
