Technology / Can we make Instantly Hot Water Using Microwaves?

I wonder if it might be possible to efficiently and quickly heat water by injecting microwaves into a water pipe. I presume it would work. Copper pipe would make an excellent waveguide containing the energy within the flowing water. The amount of energy injected could be varied to provide any selected temperature. If this worked, it wouldn't be necessary to plumb hot and cold water lines individually, but just heat the water to the desired temperature just before it comes out of the tap.
