the microwave "Jewish method" for the same reason?


bc would instead add glasses of water to reduce the power in addition to intermittent "operation".


p.s. there was (is?) on the market a quasi continuous method, i.e. like a triac dimmer. full power low (variable) duty cycle w/ high frequency (relative to the usual method).


p.p.s. now read I'm late w/ this.
Perhaps you are referring to Chuck's mention of inverter input
microwaves? As far as I know, with a fixed magnetic field you need a
relatively constant e field to get those electrons moving in suitably
small orbits, in order to pass energy into the cavities. That still
amounts to bang-bang (all or nothing) power control, though at higher
repetition rates for the variable duty factor, quite possibly.
