Shouldn't we have faster microwaves by now giving out a few kW? They
were invented decades ago.

High power microwaves (1MW) are used in industry in for example ore
extraction/rock pulverizing.
1MW into a cup of water is not pretty, explodes the water contents and
breaks the cup.


I don't need a MW, but the usual 600W to 900W in domestic ovens is
pitiful. What's wrong with 2kW?


They do not trust you poms, most of our small domestic microwaves are
1000,to 1200 watts


That's not really much more is it? Not even twice as fast.
