1. A system for controlling the drying of material by a microwave applicator, the system comprising:

  • a power output controller that controls the microwave output power of the applicator;

    a material sensor that detects the amount of material in the applicator;

    a fuzzy logic controller operatively connected to the material sensor and the power output controller,wherein the fuzzy logic controller receives a sensor signal from the material sensor indicating the current amount of material in the applicator and adjusts the microwave output power based on the current amount of material in accordance with fuzzy logic rules by sending a control signal to the power output controller.
