It cycles the microwave radiation on and off in 15-20 second intervals. It is still transmitting the same intensity of microwave when it's in an on-cycle though.

Most microwave ovens just change the duty cycle (the proportion of on and off time for the magnetron). Some Panasonic models claim to actually be able to reduce the microwave output and operate at various power levels.

What's the fascination with watching sisters make out and/or have sex? Are other forms of incest cool too or what?
