Microwave Atomisation
Microwaves consist of mutually perpendicular electrical waves and magnetic waves. Each of these components has an effect on the water molecules and other organic molecules which make up the bacterial cell or viral structure. The water molecules will rotate at or near the microwave frequency, and this energy translates into linear motion. Linear motion of gas or liquid liberates heat, and this thermal activity ultimately disrupts the cell and viral structures.
