Why doesn't oil heat in a microwave oven?

[RonL]

Hi RonL - I understand your desire to experiment - I did something similar starting in 1961. Looking back, a lot of what I did was loony and dangerous, but I didn't know about the danger at the time. So I managed to invent lots of hings and be killed or injured. Now I know more and I avoid what you are suggesting. But I do have a good friend and colleague who is the most innovative guy I know in this area. But, he is an electrical engineer from UK who has an incredible # of patents all invented and owned by himself. He is forever tearing apart and rebuilding ovens.

Here's what I suggest:

Google and search: microwave oven: repair and parts

Goodluck - but be very careful - Magnetron voltages are lethal!

Thanks

I have a CD on the way, I saw lots of stuff on the web, just hope there's more on the CD.
Keeping the waves where they belong is most important, I'll leave any other questions until after I can look the CD over.
