Where does the power go...

Reminds me of an article in New Scientist years ago in which two scientists 
were trying microwave heating for the home.. They had a metal room with an 
essentially open microwave oven mounted in one wall.. One guy would sit 
inside on a sofa while the other one was operating the controls (must be 
pretty trusting!).

The conclusion was that microwave heating was very effective as it heats 
the body and not the rest of the room, but there were concerns that 
extremities would receive greater power than the rest of the body.. So they 
recommended that men who want to have children one day shouldn't be trying 
this until more results were known =)

And so I think perhaps for similar reasons we should also be concerned with 
where the power goes... =)
