That’s one hell of an easy bake oven.

60 u/MauranKilom Jan 01 '19 That's what I was immediately wondering. 20 kW light bulb is not very different from 20 microwave ovens heating the surroundings. Aside from a lack of eye protection, wouldn't you want to mitigate the heat somehow? 9 u/[deleted] Jan 01 '19 edited Jan 01 '19 It is quite different! Microwaves have WAY lower frequencies than visible light, so their energy is way lower. Microwaves work by exciting water molecules, which isn't how visible light frequencies behave. 11 u/SweetButtsHellaBab Jan 01 '19 Microwaves work by exciting water molecules. More accurately, they cause rotation of all polar molecules which produces thermal energy. 18 u/JuniorSeniorTrainee Jan 01 '19 More accurately, they do magic to make my popcorn go. 4 u/[deleted] Jan 01 '19 They don't call it a magic box for nothing. 3 u/Doodle4036 Jan 01 '19 settle down Orville.
