<div>I wouldn't say it was sophisticated or difficult to rework a couple of road side microwave ovens.</div>

<div>Extra cooling of the magnetrons is essential,the 12volt fans are only $6 each,</div>
<div>An awareness of the dangers of stray radiation is useful. A sheet<br>
metal enclosure suitably grounded, forming a "Faraday cage" will help.</div>
<div>Fluorescent tubes will glow in the presence of such radiation and as you say</div>
<div>RFI will prevail if you are careless, </div>
<div>Carbon arc furnaces are old technology.and not cheap to run unless you make your own electrodes.</div>
<div>I think its great that some of the group are thinking out side the box.</div>

..you can contain that MW scale 2.4Ghz radiation so you don't
jam out mW scale 2.4Ghz WIFI, Bluetooth and cell phone etc
communications? (Would make a nice revenge for my first ISP
job though, we were WIFI-based and were jammed out of business
by Telenor's home WIFI routers.)

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
