Invention: Microwave-oven gun

Microwave-oven gun

You can do a lot of damage with a directed beam of microwave energy. It can

destroy electronics by inducing high voltages in chips and wires (just as

metal objects spark if left in a microwave oven). Such a beam could also

burn a person's skin, or even detonate improvised explosive devices by

exciting unstable chemicals.

A megawatt magnetron is normally needed to make the beam, though, and these

are big and expensive beasts that need water cooling.

However, two inventors from Albuquerque, New Mexico in the US, reckon there

is cheaper way to get the power. Simply gather together a stack of

magnetrons ripped out of consumer microwave ovens, and lock their output

together so that they combine into one coherent beam. What is more, they

say, the trick can be done mechanically.

Microwave magnetrons come with a tube-shaped component that controls the

output signal. The idea is to arrange a dozen or so side by side and have a

small metal plate in front that reflects some of the energy from each tube

back into the mouth of adjacent ones. This should make all the magnetrons

resonate in synchronisation, the inventors reckon. Three hundred consumer

devices, rated at 1 kilowatt each, could combine to generate megawatt pulses

from the back of a mobile generator.

The only puzzle is why the US government Patent Office has published an

application that might explain to anyone, including terrorists, how to build

such a weapon.

Apple's finger sensor

Researchers at Apple's headquarters in California, US, have been working on

a new way to make iPods, PDAs, cameras and other gadgets save power while

also looking cool. Their lengthy patent application reveals how to make a

screen light up and activate its touch-sensitive controls only when a finger

comes close.

The screen has a built-in capacitive sensor and when a finger comes to

within about 10 millimetres, the electrical capacitance changes and trips a

finely tuned circuit. The device then wakes from sleep mode, lights up its

screen and displays a menu of touch sensitive controls. When the finger

moves away again, the screen stays on for a preset period of time, after

which it shuts down again to conserve power.

And, because the sensor relies on a capacitive effect, the device can sit

happily inside a pocket without being accidentally activated or waking up

when its touch sensitive keys are brushed or pressed. It will only come back

to life only when the owner's finger, or hand, gets close.

Aircraft fire-quenching

Military aircraft keep their fuel tanks topped up with pure nitrogen to

prevent fire. But these systems have to pump gas at high speeds to keep pace

with the rapid pressure changes that occur with climbs and dives. The

hardware needed has always been too bulky, expensive and power-hungry for

commercial airliners
