It seems a horn is used to couple the oscillator to the
aether for broadcast, and a waveguide (a rectangular box with certain
dimensions) used to move the beam.  A horn-fed dish could be used
for beam shaping, including focussing the beam at some fixed distance.

'Glubco Labs' used to have a section on waveguides, magnetrons, and 
melting plastic, but that isn't there any more; the fellow probably
graduated.

I've seen 3000 watt 12VDC-110VAC inverters for cars being sold.  
Couple that with 500 watt tubes from some $50 ovens, 
you can outfit each corner of your car.

Label the power settings: "toast phone", "toast engine", "headache",
"cataract", "exploding head"

1. Cooking microwaves are 2.45 Ghz because the FCC lets you go crazy there.  
2. Look up WG16 for waveguide info.
