Go back and read what I said again. I said it will take very little water to cool the magnetrons(remove the heat generated by the use of the magnetron). I implied that the heat produced by the use of the magnetron can be quickly removed with very little water. Just like a microwave, a small fan keeps them cool. Very little water will be needed to keep the WDRP magnetron cool. So thinking this heat generated will have any significance on the overall ouput temperature of the water is incorrect IMO. - Actually, the heat loss to the magnetrons (almost 30%, and almost all of the overall heat loss) is what kept a microwave water heater from being viable previously. Running the water by it will absorb almost all of this 30% heat loss, bringing the overall efficiency of the unit to the high 90's (IMO).
