Awaiting confirmation: "Microwave weapons known as High-energy Radio Frequency (HERF) weapons are the new threat to farmers and their animals in South Africa. Farmers in the Natal Midlands, who are experiencing new crises, have spoken about the new problem they are charged with. The farmers insist on remaining anonymous for fear of retaliation.
The microwave weapon, or HERF is a direct energy weapon used against micro-electronics and fuel vapor. The technology required to create these weapons is inexpensive and generally easy to construct.
A microwave oven operates at 2.45 GHz using a tube called a magnetron. The magnetron tube is used as a weapon. It is a simple transmitter used to shoot out 1000 watts with a wave gun and a horn.
The magnetron is not a new weapon, and research began after World War II on the development of the firearm. The use of electromagnetic waves as a potential weapon was tested in the US on rats at short range and successfully induced nausea, tumors and other symptoms. Although Russia is known to have a greater knowledge in this weapon, they called for a total ban in this field.
