      The “human heater” was literally a mock idea for a competition in the sitcom Silicon Valley. The jury canned it. this video

    2. @murbard2Feb 2022· in “Heat people, not spaces (2015)”

      Indeed this video Microwave frequencies used in ovens would be dangerous because they can penetrate deep in the body and heat internal tissues, but in the EHF range microwave heating could be safe. See for instance [LINK] With all that said, what I had in mind is in the far less scary and far more prosaic near-infrared range.

    3. @grae_QEDMay 2021· in “Spin-torque oscillators for WiFi band transmission and energy harvesting”

      So they're using low to medium energy microwaves to power devices? Well if anyone doesn't buy that they can always try and sell it as a heater [1]. [1] this video
