Ah, so that's how its done! The main problem then is that the average
home microwave is probably not powerful enough. Unless that is, the SiC
is just to get the process going and that once the glass is hot, it will
start absorbing the microwaves directly and so require less microwave
energy than Theodore Gray's Silver smelting experiment. If a standard
microwave is still not up to the job then catering microwaves are
available that produce up to around 2KW of microwave energy.
Also, perhaps the fire-brick insulation could be improved?
