          If you ever feel stupid, just remember… people like this do exist

          Faraday cages don’t work how you think they do op

          If signals can get out so can microwaves and microwaves wouldn’t even be allowed on the market

          It’s more logical that the video is fake and that microwave has been modified and they are just providing external power to the lights and turntable, yes the door switch for the lights can be included in a modified circuit

            Does that mean my microwave is defective when the music I’m listening to on my bluetooth headphones gets interrupted when I stand close to it while it’s on? Is that dangerous for me?

              There is a small amount of leakage expected but that should be below the safe limit

              If you’re worried you can check the grid on the door for any holes and dont have anything in between the door and the microwave body as that might compromise the seal

              What distance are you standing from the microwave ?

            Just remember that there is also beam forming in microwaves. It doesn’t have to be 100% Farady cage, 5 out of 6 sides is enough.

                It is for that, but it’s not 100% fullproof. You don’t believe me? Try it. Put your phone in a plugged off microwave, see if the wifi and network drop to 0.
