non-ionizing...
Yes, microwaves are non-ionizing radiation. I would not suggest sticking your head in your microwave while it's running though.
they don't run with the door open
You now know a place in the world where you can overfly a giant microwave. Fo science!
if only i knew how to fly
Dude, I happen to have a metric shit ton of hours on various flight simulators. If you happen to have another shit ton of money we could manage something.
if only i had a shit-ton of money... :'(
The warning wouldn't be for you in that case.
It doesn't say ionizing either bud. Radar at close up or very high levels can fuckup avionics leading to crashes.
If it were ionizing they would probably say more because wind in that area isn't constant direction.
Non ionizing radiation means it doesn't produce free radicals through destruction of chemical bonds. Any type of radiation that interacts with a material and has a high enough ERP will heat that thing up. Cell phone spectrum is non ionizing but the high powered towers can still cook the brain inside a skull.
