Basic setup idea - force observability

OK, here's my initial thoughts on the basic setup Go out and buy a cheap microwave don't try to mess with the one in your kitchen ensure it has a defrost setting to get the on/off variations. we might need this to start with don't drill any holes.. there's safety implications and i want to explore these further before going there (however tiny holes should not be a problem since the wave length is centimeters and there's already 'holes' in the window!) first step would be to find something that gives of steam/vapour. maybe something like vegetable glycerin would work we need to fill the oven with enough vapour to observe the flow and disturbance of forces. another option is a fine particulate of some kind that floats. yet another option is to create a plasma, a candle wrapped in tin foil under a glass jar might succeed here. once force observability is reached, then its on to 'tuning' with various reflective items placed around the oven to shape the chamber. some kind of 'sink' might be needed during these experiments to absorb excess microwaves, but we might get away with the defrost setting. early days yet. it might take me a week or two to even get a basic setup ready but i'll post here anything i find, please post your results too! this is a rare, rare opportunity to experiment with cutting edge space research at home using methods in the style of the great inventors of the early 20th century, for sure i'm in! mc

Hi, for anyone who saw my post on nasaspaceflight, you know what this is about! this location may be temporary until i find something better but for now feel free to post here ideas about this experiment mc
