Microwave radiation

    I realized this a while ago but never said anything because i figured someone has posted this before, but I used the search and couldn't find anything. So, I am suggesting implementing microwaves into TPT. Microwaves would spark metal when they touch it (creating electricity) and after a certain number of microwaves hit the metal, it creates plasma or thunder. This would be helpful with some electronics, especially ones that attempt to use photons as microwaves. Also instead of bouncing off objects much like photons do, it would stop and heat the object. This would be useful for heating water but not having all the remaining particles bouncing off everything. Using a small amount of microwaves would slowly heat a particle, or particles, and a larger amount of microwaves would heat something at a much higher rate. These could create an easily controlled steam generator, and could even make plasma generators (using microwaves to hit a block of metal, thus creating plasma). Thank you for reading and please, post a response.

    Microwaves hit metal... creating electricity?

    Also this would be fun to have, maybe have a pen that emits the rays when sparked.

    Yes have you ever put something metal in a microwave? (if not, don't. Look it up on youtube its quite dangerous) But it creates lightning, also known as plasma, which is electricity. And it heats up the metal like crazy.

    Maybe new category of elements? Waves. So it has waves such as X-ray, inferred, and etc.

    I had STIC!

    Maybe, but how do you differentate them from photons. Photons are both a wave and a particle. What we call light is simply the part of the EMS that is visible to us. I think I saw another suggestion somewhere for radio waves, so that would fit into the 'waves' category, or more accurately, the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) category. For infrared, TPT actually already simulates heat and infrared is just that, heat.

    Yes I think waves would be good to implement as a category.
