Smokeless microwaves

David Jones

Nature, 1998, vol. 396, issue 6706, 24-24

Abstract: Burning flames work by thermal feedback, heating incoming fuel to combustion temperature. Unfortunately this process is inefficient and, in an attempt to convert as much fuel as possible to product, Daedalus has a plan. His idea is to beam intense microwaves into a burner of furnace - combustion gases will absorb the energy and become even hotter, reducing the chances of their escaping into the cooling flue gases.
