Isn't it amazing how 2,000 watts of peak RF power just appears from thin

the printer stepper motor that turns the rubber band that drives the PC

Not sure about the merits of this beef.
A radar with a pulse repetition period of 1 millisecond, and a pulse
width of 1 microsecond has a peak power about a thousand times greater
than its mean power - and this is a standard feature of pulse
radars....
