I've been thinking about this. There is a question on how to get an
e-field into the meat, and there is a question about whether bacteria
exist in the meat.


Consider the meat as a resistive material, as I've already proposed.
If you apply a voltage across the meat, that voltage will distribute
itself
across the thickness of the slab. (but with interesting distortions
around the
marbling, which has a significantly higher resistivity).
The distributed capacitance will make some second order effects but the
basic
applied voltage across a medium / voltage field in the medium effect
will remain.

I am assuming there is bacteria in the meat, but I've searched all
kind of FDA and safety sites, and I don't see anything discussed
except ground meat, so I don't know. Maybe there is not, just
bacteria on the surface.


If there are no bacteria inside the meat, what is the purpose of aging?


Are they really driving 1V/cm into someones brain without cooking it?

What's the power density of 1V/cm into a 1cm cube of meat (or brain)with
300 ohm-cm resitivity?
How does that compare to the power density reheating a quarter pounder
in a 600W microwave oven?

Quarter Pounder, Mmmmmmm.

Biased? Of course I'm biased!
