I’m not seeing a good correspondence between the photos and the narrative.
It takes power to melt things. I can’t imagine a microwave based system delivering that much power over that big an area.
The wildfires I have seen were propagated by Class A shingles lifting in high winds to become flying blobs of burning tar that would stick to Masonite siding of the next house drooling fire down the side. Whole subdivisions would burn despite gobs of defensible space. The reason you see nothing about that is that the entire construction permitting bureaucracy in this country blessed those shingles.
The fires in Cali spread against the wind, and started on back porches. They were lit by teams of arsonists. My Niece lived through it, the houses across the street from her burned down, and she witnessed arsonists carrying burning material from house to house. Just because the news doesn’t cover it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I also saw videos of men on flatbed trucks throwing off cans of fuel onto the shoulder of the road, and people picking them up and heading up the hill to set more fires. California was one massive set up with real live actors..bad actors, involved.
Scanning Microwave.... Tin hat post.
By the way, great talk but the pointer didn't come through.
That is truly interesting...
