Got to keep them off balance ...

A rather good idea if it works.
Cross coupling energy from the outputs of adjacent magnetrons allows 
very large arrays thereof (100+) to be phase synchronised thereby 
allowing coherent output for eg "energy weapon systems".

The provided redundancy and low unit cost due to existing economies of 
scale may make this method attractive for other applications. Perhaps.
Quick skim of patent application makes it clear that they are very 
firmly standing on the shoulders of others who have already claimed to 
have achieved similar things.
