MMK Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Can microwaves carry a power of around 200hp........ theoretically?? and also converging it by the help of a parabolic antenna at a point around say 500 feet above the source???

Enthalpy Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Microwaves can carry any power... It's limited by - The availability and price of the source. Magnetrons for ovens deliver 300W at 2.45GHz for some $ and can be summed. Expensive sources achieve MW. - The protection of people, animals, plants... - Real physical limits like air ionization wont' be attained easily in open space. It was attained in the waveguide feeding radar antennas, with several MW in few cm2, where dry nitrogen at high pressure improves over air. 170m above the source: that's a matter of diffraction "only", that is, of wavelength and antenna diameter, and of how concentrated the focus must be. Have a look at "diffraction" for lenses or telescope mirrors or antennas; the likely answer is "antenna too big for your taste". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
