I propose a new type of household heater. Working the same way as a Microwave oven. You will be able to warm the people in the house with no fire danger. I am unsure that it would be safe but it would be really cheap to heat.
No problem...except for blindness

Is it safe to assume that this is essentially a microwave oven with a set of plastic heat exchanger coils running through the cooking area to heat the water? Interesting concept. I have no idea if this would be any more efficient than ordinary resistive electrical heat, but bun for the concept. |

A prototype would not be difficult to build, either. Who wants to try it? |

I think he means to heat people directly. |

...and take that foil hat off! |

er. radiation + people is not a good equation. |
|

People with tooth fillings will spark at the mouth although now I've written that, I'm unsure if that's a negative point. |
|

er. radiation + people = bad equation is a good equation. |
|
| |
Actually, radiation + people = eyesight.
Infrared radiation + people = warmth
(i.e., quartz heater). Microwaves +
people = fishbone. |
