Cool but I wonder what happens when a bird or plane or something else crosses in front of that microwave path
I think there are different microwave frequencies. As far as I know, „the microwave“ is using a special frequency, that is absorbed by the water in the food, which heats stehe for up. I think they would use an other frequency, so the radiation is not absorbed by clouds. So it should not harm birds. Planes might need to fly around the path of the rays. Should be possible with a fixed ground station.
