If you don't understand what a HERF projector is, let me explain.
There is a part in your microwave called a magnetron it makes microwaves that excite water particles in food... Excitement equals heat.
If we remove the magnetron, and add a wave guide and a reflector or antenna horn, we can direct this energy into the atmosphere (preferably away from the face, microwaves can cause cataracts, kinda like an egg in a frying pan... Not good). Now, since this energy can excite molecules and thus electrons, lets irradiate some electronics... This causes electronics to fail horribly...
Can anyone think of any... evil uses...

So, it's pretty much a long range electronics disruptor?
-
Yes for the most part, if you can focus it to a fine point you can melt glass, or brains...
Or you can use it on unfortunate riot police to break their lines.
If you can modulate the amplitude or freq (like a radio), you may be able to create xrays...
Point is, my friend wants to make one for all sorts of bad ideas...

There is already an application for this it, they simply have a APC with a dish on top seen it on future weapon's
it weird cause when they hit you with it you have an involuntary notion to walk 0

But now its under investigation because microwaves cause cataracts, plus thats for deterrence, not for melting circuits... Plus I think they pump out frequencies different than a microwave oven... Regardless they have to mount it to a vic, I want a man portable one...

Ok well i think your going to struggle abit i think, the idea is solid but the technology available to(given you dont work in a R&D lab) you is not. You have a magnetron running at any where from 650-1000Kw/H even with li-ion battery's your back pack going to be about 100Kg just so you can get an hrs worth off fun out off.
that being said you could always make it a plug in and have a back pack full off extension leads

5 minutes would be all you need, you would be projecting it in less that 3 second intervalsI already have a deep cycle battery, but I may get a starter battery for the ability to have quick, high amp bursts...

Remote microwave technologies have already been developed far beyond this level. MASER diodes can be attached to just about anything airborne and can transmit anything from strong electromagnetic pulses to those very same frequencies that a microwave oven produces in order to incapacitate an individual or electronic device.
