minus-squarealmost1337@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 hours agoIn my experience microwaves modulate how long the magnetron is on for, not the amount of power its using for each running cycle. eg 30 seconds on 50% will run at full power for a total of 15 seconds, and idle the other 15 seconds.
minus-squareYoddel_Hickory@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 hours agoYeah but it is not 15 full seconds on and 15 full seconds off, it alternates much faster so the heat has the time to dissipate a bit. Spoiler: that is also how LEDs dim and it works perfectly.
