 Attached FileGot this cool ass old radar thingy at a scrap auction, think it may be off a ship of something as the part that goes round and round is like 8 feet wide. Decided to fire everything up before I parted it out and got everything up and running without too much effort. Cant see much on the screen other than some hills at around 10 miles out. Anyway, I got distracted and left the thing running. Came back to find my cat Jack Bauer sleeping in the center of the part that goes round and round. (He also likes to sit and sleep on the rumba thing too.) He couldn’t have been asleep on there for moar than an hour or two but now he is acting kind of broken. Jack has this goofy look kind of stuck on his face and I get a static shock every time I pet him. He doesn’t seem to be walking straight and when an airplane flys by his tail points directly at it. Could this just be a residual effect of being really really dizzy from spinning around for a few hours? I need to get him better, my wife gets home soon and can’t see him like this. He looks ridiculous. Not much info on the radar unit. Data plate says “X / S - 80kW - 250v AC” |

Run him on a gentle cycle in the dishwasher, it should help

That is a fairly powerful radar and may not be good for the cats future.

Was his face in the center of the dish where the emitter is?
Can get cataracts and/or go blind from that. It happened to sailors who used to clean the dishes on ships before they realized the risk. ETA: Obviously OP you shouldn't face the dish either. |

Just unplug the cat and plug him back in, that should reset the cats settings.

His name is Jack Bauer so he should be good to go no matter how much RF he absorbs.

I've seen birds on energized navigation radars. They seemed fine. The big ass air search might have been a bit much for them. Not sure if we tested that one.

I just saw you're on a time limit. You're gonna need an m10x150mm left hand threaded bolt. All cats are european and backwards. Wrap the 50mm closest to the head of the bolt in bare copper wire. Thread the other 100mm into the cat. Op there really is only one place this will work. Throw the loose end of the wire in your microwave, turn on full power for 7 minutes exactly. If you threaded the cat correctly and wound the wire right, you should be able to reverse this. If not jack may turn into Dr. Manhattan.

Ah he should be fine. He has simply been infused with radar energy to the point where he can see in different dimensions.
bTw NwG do you also have an enormous dog? Or am I thinking of someone else? |

Rewire it to run in the opposite direction and give him a couple hours of reverse radar treatment.

It's a microwave oven. The same cavity magnetron. Big million+ watt jobs kill birds. However, I'm interested in how you tell a broken cat from a normal retarded cat.
I doubt it really harmed him with brief pulses. Like putting him in the microwave for one second. RF doesn't rip dna and cell structures like high energy ionizing radiation does, it just vibrates them and warms them up from the inside. Actually, it mostly vibrates the water; at a molecular/atomic level motion=heat and heat=motion. |

You should keep him in the microwave - he’ll be safe there.

I should clarify that by from the inside, I mean inside the molecules, not inside the mass as a whole, it starts by heating the outer molecules in the mass and the center is warmed by convective heat transfer. That's why it can burn the Stouffer's Individual mac and cheese brown around the edges and the center is still frozen, if you try to speed it up with 5 mins on high instead of 10 mins on 50% like it says in the directions.
Why does this matter? Because it wasn't penetrating his brain like a death ray. It would have heated up the skin on his face, which would at least have felt weird if not painful, and the cat would not have stayed. Ergo, it was not harmed. |

Do not underestimate a cat in full heat thief mode. Mine sit 1” away from a 900* wood stove for days on end. |

If a fully charged cat goes missing it probably jumped into another time space dimension. I believe the USS Eldrich had a cat with similar markings.

I've seen a demo where a 25 pound frozen turkey was tossed upward in front of a large search radar as the antenna came around. That turkey came down fully cooked and sizzling hot. An 8-beam radar with 1 million watts ERP per beam concentrates a lot of power right at the antenna. |

When I worked on fire control radar in another life one of our civilian tech reps would put his hand on the feed horn to see if it was warm (transmitting). He died some years later of a brain tumor.
