Abstract:
The features of sound waves excited by microwave impulses (at 915 and 2375 MHz) were studied, using spherical flasks filled with ethanol or 0.1 M NaCl in water as models of the human head. A piezoceramic transducer was used to register mechanical oscillations of the flask's surface. The results suggest that the auditory effects of microwaves are caused by stimulation of mechanical oscillations in the liquid (or the head tissues) by electromagnetic energy, followed by the bone-effected transfer of the absorbed energy to the auditory organs.
