Hi. A mate of mine had a gemsquash (A type of pumpkin) blow up inside his microwave and now it won't work. I have heard that troubleshooting for microwaves is quite straightforward. Does anyone have advise on what to look for?

Well, start by unplugging the microwave and waiting a little while.

The first thing I would look for is blown fuses and physical damage or shorts caused by bits-o-pumkin.
 
Thanx

Nate

Thank you very much. Will hopefully feedback soon

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
