Every family needs at least one Dayton somewhere on the family tree to make life interesting. Then there's always something cool going on down in the lab, and the opportunity to learn how & why things actually work. Plus, the math behind the physics fine tunes the engineering to get the actual desired results. When I was a teenager, I was so fascinated by high school physics that I constructed a cloud chamber with dry ice to look at atomic particles emitted by my dad's radium dial painted watch. But my niece's boyfriend recently built a cloud chamber that is cooled by an array of Peltier crystals - much, much better! Technology is always evolving and it's great to hang out with people who want to understand it all by experimenting with whatever comes to hand. So, here's a toast to Dayton and the spirit of experimental science & engineering. And thanks for sharing dude!

Important additional bit of high voltage danger, the capacitor, as all do, may maintain a very large charge potential, even long after unplugged. They must be shorted to discharge. Capacitors discharge their full load all at once, thus are extremely Dangerous! Unless one knows what they are doing they should avoid messing with anything that contains capacitors, as even much smaller ones than shown in this vid can be deadly!

[@allentremper8243]

Even an unplugged microwave or TV, the capacitor is still hot until it's discharged. You can electrocute yourself easier with an unplugged microwave or TV, because most people have no idea what the capacitor does, it holds a charge until discharged, unplugging it won't discharge the capacitor. Thanks for the video, I have a few microwaves that I am going to tear down this weekend. Appreciate your help and expertise.

[@Dr.Weed8]

After 24-72 hours an unplugged capacitor loses its charge. If it’s been unplugged for awhile there’s no charge left. Wait at least a week to be safe, triple check there’s no batteries inside. Wear robber gloves. You’ll be fine. Start with low voltage items to learn. Taking things apart is a fun, cheap, educational hobby.

If modified properly, this can make things glow white and poof into nothing in a matter of milliseconds. It's just that in order for it to be a long rage weapon, the lobes need to be focused to a sharp flux, and to be a practical weapon, would need a device within to adjust and focus the flux, and need to be rigged to a range finder through a computer, so that it automatically adjusts the flux. To make a basic microwave gun with decent range, maybe instead of that square horn mussle, stick the magnatron antennas into aluminum lined funnels, and over both of those, one larger aluminum lined funnel faced so that the small end is the end of the barell. Would that compress the lobes?

The RF bounces off of everything, metal is generally aluminum in RADARs, but I don't believe the purity is essential. The size of the "waveguide" is important however.

Hi, Dayton Aardema. This is a stunning work. I want to ask you question. Is it possible to use helical antenna instead of horn antenna. if not please tell me why? Thanks.

[@BlueprintScience]

Sup Faud, I dug around in my e-mag knowledge a bit. Helical antennas create circularly polarized waves, which means that you would need a circular waveguide also. Waveguides only direct the wave, not create it. The antenna itself is on the magnetron - the piece just above the ceramic insulator. You would need to tap off of that to attach a different antenna. Beware, helical antennas' field lines go all over the place. To answer you directly: Yeah, it's possible, just... different.

[@fuadhamamah6322]

​@@BlueprintScience Thank you Dayton for your reply and explanation. I have another question. How can a helical antenna be attached or be coupled to magnetron? How can we connect SMA connectors with coaxial cable from a magnetron to helix antenna. And what about the heat of microwave signals, Does affect the coupling of SMA? what kind of material should we use for helical antenna? Thanks in Advance.

Hi..the idea is so cool. but what if i connect an another transfomer in parallel for increasing the current so i think the range of the microwaves will be increased too. However if the transfomer is connected can the magnetron handle the increased current?

[@BlueprintScience]

The magnetron is tuned for a certain voltage so that the magnetron cavity can catch electrons at their "critical angle" - of course this has a lot of variation. If you could supply more current to the magnetron at the same voltage, it would be more powerful but it would heat up quickly. And magnetons suck at heat dissipation as it is.

Great video. Does anyone know if this gun was pointed at a 30mA ELCB in a plastic consumer unit through say 2 standard bricks (my wall), would it flip the breaker?

[@BlueprintScience]

Let's think it over. Bricks are non-conductive, so they won't reflect much EM radiation from the magnetron, but they are fairly thick. Plastic is like its not even there for microwave radiation. Hmm... It depends on how sensitive the ELCB is. I'd guess that the bricks will dissipate too much power and the breaker will be fine - Just based on what I've seen of microwaves.

Will the horn actually amplify microwaves or just spread them out? I think a horn can only amplify sound. If you want to amplify anything else you would need to concentrate it into a smaller point

[@BlueprintScience]

Electromagnetic waves can be amplified the same as sound. Note, it doesn't increase the power, just the amplitude.

[@slusheewolf2143]

So, after watching this video and the magnatron video I learned: Beryllium is a highly toxic metal, EM waves can be amplified by using a gap in walls to create a circular motion but it uses alot of energy to do this and creates crazy amounts of heat, microwave guns may be illegal (and of course are 100% deadly to those who don't know electronics), and you can amplify voltage with a high voltage amplifier that doesn't carry much current, so the amplifier is probably the only live component that won't kill you if you touch the wrong component without proper PPE.

sai ilfs, sure thing... The capacitor and diode are a half wave voltage doubler. They send peaks of 4000V into the magnetron. The magnetron needs voltages like this In order to operate.

1:40 Whether the danger lies within the high voltage or the high current is debatable. Surely 2KV of open-circuit voltage won't necessarily kill you. In that case though, the transformer has a low output impedance, which means it has the capability of sustaining a high voltage with a fairly high current. The voltage is way higher than the dielectric strength of human skin, and the current is more than enough for ventricular fibrillation. Wrapping it all up: stay away from these things, kids!

Detecting the source of a radio signal (like a microwave weapon) is doable, but an involved process. First you would need an antenna to receive the radio energy (like another horn antenna) on a turn table. Rotate it 360 degrees while taking a constant measurement. At the angle where the energy is the greatest, that is most likely the source.

Can somehow other wave that you are absorbing in video be used also and change it's phase? Or it's hard ?

What's the weapon that provokes pain, vibrations, burns etc?

[@BlueprintScience]

I think you’re talking about one of two weapons: The army uses a 10GHz directional microwave weapon for crowd dispersion. It causes a burning feeling but is otherwise harmless. Also, cargo and passenger ships sometimes use ultrasonic weapons to deter attackers. The vibrations become extremely unbearable and painful at mid range.

[@aahr2034]

Is ultrasonic weapon like what?

[@schurr64]

@@BlueprintScience if you think it is harmless you are seriously in error.Your body works on emf.Every single cell in your body works on electrical impulse.If you ever had one used on you I suspect you would not be so cavalier.

Would short pulses of high voltage (higher than 2kV) and high current (much higher than an average current in the microwave oven) improve the ability of the gun to shot down a drone? Very informative video! Great work.

[@spthompson6501]

Have you tried connecting the magnetron to an antenna? Something directional, like a Yagi or helical?

[@BlueprintScience]

Thought about it. It would be hard to make that an interesting video though. I don't know what I would do with it. Besides, a horn is technically an antenna (according to my 1986 textbook on antennas for what that's worth).

[@h_r7708]

I was in microwave communications in the Marine Corps. Our waveguide was hooked to an 8ft parabolic dish. It transmitted in the direction the dish was pointed and the signal from the other location used the dish to focus the waves to the receiver in the center of the dish (about a foot or so away from the dish.) We transmitted line of site with about 10 watts. Our instructor told us that he was transmitting over a calm lake and they had 5x5 com over several miles on 1 watt. It took a bit more power for a troposcatter set up. This was 30 years ago. I don't even know if they use microwave communication any more.

[@far1002]

So if it’s coming out a wave don’t u need to tune the exit.. or combine the wave or cancel out half like from a/c to dc wouldn’t that produce a more powerful output.

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

He just showed how he tuned the wave.

[@VoidHalo]

The sound of the microwave gun when it was turned on really got my cat's attention for some reason. He was just sitting peacefully, intently watching me eat, then as soon as he heard the sound his ears perked up, he stood up and looked at the TV like it was freaking him out. Very odd. I've tried messing with him using tone generators before to no real effect. So I'm surprised he reacted like this. Maybe there's some combination of hamonics from the speakers or something. Sounds like a job for spectrum analysis!

[@color4268]

Some are. Some use EMF and V2K. It's my best guess. I lived in a house in Denver where I was tortured with these weapons. My friend at the time poisoned me with some that become remote. I suffer everyday of my life. There's a class of people in Denver using these weapons to control others when it comes to religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and just instill a general sense of shame. It's disgusting and terrorism. All people involved are committing treason, but the FBI does gaf! They are unaware if it's a federal crime. Meanwhile, these people using psycho-terror on the American public. It's as innocuous threat as stacking Facebook during presidential elections, but they're directly attacking the psyche and livelihood of free individuals into to creat a new supremacist society.

Did it work ?

[@brendanwood1540]

It won't kill you right away any more than a standard 120 v outlet would kill you right away if you have wet skin; provided you break the connection. You would get burned without doubt. The thing that kills you is the random interruption of the heartbeat at 50 Hz. The heart will likely experience arrhythmia after shock, but the chance of heart fibrillation is the same above 100 volts; even then, you have approximately 8 minutes to use a defibrillator; though you will likely be unconscious. The time the brain can live without oxygen can also be greatly extended by packing the brain in ice to prevent brain damage. I know because I was once involved in an accident where myself and a team of 5 others were all shocked by an 8000 volt power line; one of my coworkers was electrocuted. We all sustained burns, and I even broke both my shoulders. But the point is; it will not instantly kill you, it will just maim, burn, disfigure, and traumatize you.

[@arado240dd]

is the horn tuned to 2.4ghz?

[@JohnSmith-pc3gc]

If you have a narrow cylindrical conductor at the centerr of a 45°conical metal surface, it seems that you could project a beam of concentrated microwaves.

[@edison8309]

Your videos are awesome. Could you please make a seperate video for why the electromagetic wave is an horizontal "8" shape on antenna? How does the electromagetic wave being convoyed from inside magnetron to the top of antenna? Is it simply because the waves just flow on the copper to the top or any other mechanism that are driving them? There are so many "why" after watching the video.

[@BlueprintScience]

Edison, First off, all good questions! I try not to cram too much into a video that the audience dies of boredom. However, I did intend to bring it up in a future video. No ETA as of now. For now, I can say that the pattern I was drawing is called a “near-field” and “far-field” which is unique to every antenna. Every engineer uses antennatheory.com as it has that and more in one convenient spot. Also, the RF is carried through conductors in the magnetron to the monopole stub antenna at the front, very similar to wires. There is an RF wire and a ground wire. Hope that helps!

[@BlueprintScience]

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. The inside of a magnetron is not a suitable waveguide for 2.4GHz waves. The energy would be dissipated as heat in the metal after the antenna re-absorbs the waves. P.S. What do you mean "or else"? Or else what?

Could an "old school" 4 meter satellite dish be used as a focused beam high energy "weapon" by replacing the LNA with an engineered wave guide & 1200 watt magnetron to overload the receiver circuits of a satellite ? Generally satellites like the Dish Network and Direct TV only transmit about 10 to 15 watts down to earth. They probably have input overload protection built in though. If it was possible and one got caught doing this, would you have to pay for a new satellite and launch (after 20 years in prison)?
