It really doesn't matter how many Magnetrons or Magic Wands you wave at the water. 6000 Watts converts to 20,500 BTU/hr, which when you do all of the physics gives you 50 degrees fahrenheit per gallon per minute.

You can dance the minuet or flip Magnetrons on and off as much as you like, but unless Harry Potter or Dumbledore are using magic for you, all you will get is 50 gallon degrees per minute.

So if you take your 50F inlet water to the home and run it through this device and out of your 2.4 gallon per minute shower head, you will be showering in 71F water. Want it warmer, then slow down the flow rate.

Plumbing diameter doesn't matter. Inlet pressure doesn't matter. Number of Magnetrons doesn't matter. Pulsing them on and off doesn't matter. Firing order doesn't matter. How many degrees TDC your timing belt is set to doesn't matter.

All that matters is that you can derive 3412 BTUs per KWH, and you are throwing 6 KWH into your water. And thats assuming a conversion efficiency of 1.0. Want it higher? Either get a heat pump based device, or develop a zero-point energy recovery system.
