There are many research groups worldwide who are investigating the potential for using microwaves as an alternative energy source for the processing of a wide range of materials, chemicals, food, etc. Within this activity, a small number are investigating the so-called 'microwave effect', that is, unexpected enhancements in process reaction paths or kinetics. The UK is particularly rich in having no less than 7 independent teams working in the field. Whilst a considerable amount of evidence has been gathered internationally over the past two decades or more, most has involved performing experiments in both conventional and microwave equipment; most of the time the facilities have not been equivalent and techniques such as temperature measurement have not been the same in both cases. Recently, however, definitive experiments have been performed that avoid these pitfalls, most of them in the UK. They show very clearly that there is a genuine effect. Now attention is turning to trying to explain the effects. Many theories exist, but most of these were based on the poor evidence available at the time. There is now a need for someone, preferably a theoretician, to correlate all of the data gathered in the UK by touring around a number of organisations and then studying it with a view to identifying both evidence for and against the different theories and also to identify new definitive experiments that could be performed. These ideas then need discussing by the experimental experts so that a clear path forward can be identified. A final report will be written and disseminated very widely via the internet and presentation at major international conferences, activities that will result in further input, in the form of both comments and, hopefully, further experimental results.

世界上有许多研究小组正在研究使用微波作为替代能源处理各种材料，化学品，食品等的潜力，在这一活动中，少数人正在研究所谓的“微波效应”，即过程反应路径或动力学的意想不到的增强。英国特别富有，在该领域工作的独立团队不少于7个。虽然在过去的二十年或更长时间里，国际上收集了大量证据，但大多数都涉及在传统设备和微波设备上进行实验;大多数时候，设施并不等同，温度测量等技术也不相同。在两种情况下是相同的。然而，最近已经进行了明确的实验，以避免这些陷阱，其中大部分在英国。他们非常清楚地表明，有一个真正的效果。现在，人们的注意力正转向试图解释这些影响。有许多理论存在，但其中大多数是基于当时可用的证据不足。现在需要一个人，最好是一个理论家，通过在一些组织中巡回，然后研究它，以确定支持和反对不同理论的证据，并确定可以进行的新的确定性实验，从而将在英国收集的所有数据关联起来。然后，这些想法需要由实验专家进行讨论，以便确定明确的前进道路。将编写最后报告，并通过互联网广泛传播，并在主要国际会议上介绍，这些活动将产生进一步的投入，既有评论，也有希望产生进一步的实验结果。
