A Microwave in a Microwave?

Question

What would happen with you had two microwaves running at the same time with the second one inside the other?

Answer 1

Since a Microwave oven is shielded, the oven on the inside would prevent the waves from the exterior oven from entering.

The same shielding would keep the internal oven's waves inside.

The exterior oven may induce high current in the metal shield of the interior oven.  You've got two possibilities: 1) the interior oven's shield heats up.  2) The interior oven reflects the waves back.  Most likely, you'll get a percentage of each.

This is to say nothing of any paint or plastic on the surface of the interior oven.

Answer 2

The one inside will be cancelled like waves(if u talking about microwave) but if u saying a microwave oven,I don't really know,but I know the one inside will blow.

Answer 3

The microwave inside would fail/blow up.  The metal parts in a microwave suscept to the microwaves and induce electrical currents and high heats.  Try putting a ball of al foil in a microwave and see what happens.  The microwave inside would fail and then probably catch on fire on its plastic parts

Answer 4

The outside one would smoke it's magnetron due to all the metal in it's field.

But even if it didn't, because the inside one is made of plastic or something, the effect would be of twice the power applied to the food. Just as if a regular microwave had a tube twice as powerful.

You would also have interference problems between the two tubes, which could cause lots of problems.
