You know when they test the airframe of an aircraft on that machine Boeing call 'the Big Shaker' ? It cycles the airframe through up to 2,000 cycles a second. Would the frame turn to dust if the frame (and it's molecules) could be vibrated at (say) 1 million cycles per second ?
Short answer is no, it would not turn to dust. You would pop rivets perhaps. It is vibrating the components and seeing if the bond between components (such as rivets) hold. If it was somehow increasing the collisions between molecules in the aluminum it would heat those molecules up, not turn them to dust. Moreover you need to know the amplitude of the movement as much or more than just the frequency, and that is part of the calculations for the amount of power required. Got anything at all concerning that bill? Does J.Wood? Answer: Not a spect!
On another subject. How does a microwave work ? Is it true that it vibrates the molecules of the food together causing them to create heat by friction ?
It causes the WATER molecules in the outer few centimeters of the object to become excited (vibrate is one way of putting it) and that increases collisions between molecules thus transfering that kinetic energy to adjacent molecules.
A normal oven inputs energy to the food simply by conduction. It causes the molecules of food to become excited and they collide with other molecules thus transferring their kinetic energy.
The biggest reason why things heat faster in a microwave oven is that the energy is delivered directly to the food rather than by heating the air in an oven and transfering that energy to the food by conduction.
It is dangerous to put metal objects in a mircowave oven because it induces a current in the air between the object and the metal walls of the oven due to the ionization of the air around the metal object. The effect is an arcing between the object and the walls of the oven. This current then can cause the metal to heat up.
A microwave oven works at a frequency very close to that of Ku band satellite signals and terrestrial microwave communications. In fact the reason why a rain storm can cause your satellite reception to become impaired is that the intervening rain is absorbing the signal.
If you found a frequency of EMR that was absorbed by steel as efficiently as water absorbs the radiation used in a microwave oven then you would not turn the steel to dust. You would heat it and melt it.
If such a device were produced and directed downward at the towers then the very first effect would be a heating of the cell phone or TV tower on the roof and the hat truss. One would see these topmost components turning red and sagging. It would affect the smaller components in the towers first, not the large columns.
Suppose the space-based Directed energy microwave energy system could be powered by harnessing the billon watts of the HAARP stations on Earth ?
See where I'm going with this ?
Well you would have to flesh that out quite a bit more and I do not believe that you have the slightest clue how to even do that especially given that you started the quoted post with a description of a mechanical motion imparting energy into the system and then start talking about using EMR. These are two very different phenomena.
