hes hilariously uninformed and talking out of his ass through most of this video. i like how he calls kreosans video fake (not that its not) and his proof is a comparison of the effects of a microwave gun on a tiny low powered battery powered device, to a mains voltage actual stereo system pulling a hell of a lot more power out the wall while being blasted by the microwave gun. or his claim that "you cant pull 2kw out of any outlet in your home" when you can pull about 2.2kw off the average house outlet.

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.

How does this effect microchip implants?

[@bringer-of-change]

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?

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.

That's... very true. Hmmm. I still don't think everything would explode that violently, though. I bet they stuffed some flash power in there for "extra effect"

[@hyperhektor7733]

i can tell you normal stereo amplifieres (even brand names like pioneer) are really shitty when it comes to overload protection. Thats why i always used car amps at home ;) , I had seen epensive amps dying which cost several hundret euros back then at 60% volume xD. I thought i am not dumb i can buy 4-5 brand car amps with the same power(or more since 60% is lol). Maybe the< put fireworksinside for the effects, but the amps dying is very possible even without fireworks. But maybe not, they use some crazy 32Amps, so they have a "special" main current xD. Funny thing is there where other channels which even doubted that a microwave gun is possible, because they cant do it xD. (AllenPan and ElectroBoom for example) Pretty legit argument lol. So keep in mind that just because you cant to something doesnt mean others cant do it too. I subed here since you can do stuff other people cant do too ;D

[@danielvincentkelley]

@blueprint - There's no scorching on the displayed remnants. You kept shutting off the microwave before the lightbulb explosion temperature was achieved. In short, your video is disalarmist bullshit. Beyond that, volts don't kill, amps do. Your hokey "science" is blatant to the extreme. Your "microwave gun" is a shoddy design intentionally limited in it's power by the duct you chose to off center mount. Condensing the beam is crucial to increasing power per cm squared delivered on target. In short, your design is bullshit.

[@thefirehawk1495]

In that video they blew the stereo and you can see what seems like a foil wrapper floating around which appears to be from the pyrotecnics, but anyway, their videos are typically truthful about the actual effect. If they wanted to lie they could blow the stereo with the gun from outside the house without having to sit in the adjacent room separated only by a wall and probably about 10 feet away which curiously is also the rame range your gun seems to have.

[@mattmoreira210]

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!

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. For 2.45Ghz it's roughly 122mm by 61.3mm. If you disassemble the microwave, it'll have the dimensions you need just like he does in the video closer to the end of the video

[@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.

​@@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?

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.

Great demo. - - It's a fun to watch video but I, personally, would not want to be in a room with a microwave gun - because the chances of instant cataracts aren't fun.

People can't randomly share 2 plugs with any 2 outlets. Accidentally plugging into the wrong combination of 240 volts is dangerous, and can cause a fire. It can blow off a finger, or be potentially lethal if you get inbetween it. You need to be an electrician.

[@sarahclark5447]

Seriously only a boy would use a microwave cooker to make something out of a microwave cooker that wasn't a microwave cooker! Still, the same enthusiasm for "things" did give me hair straighteners, washing machines, tumble driers, vacuum cleaners, TV, computers, aeroplanes, skyscrapers, cars, bikes and even when such go to bed they often make babies before sleeping. Ok, carry on playing with the microwave cooker I can see it has its uses.

[@ttcherrick]

Sarah Clark LOL, I just tore apart a discarded microwave two days ago to get out all the fun stuff. If you don't like playing around with deadly high voltage transformers you can just chuck it out and rip the bomber rare earth magnets out of the magnetron. Super fun. There is also a highly useful cooling fan and a cool low-speed motor (6 rpm!) that drives the turntable inside so your food gets cooked evenly. I use these to do time lapse panoramas. No end of fun! BTW, I am 62 years old.

[@sarahclark5447]

@@ttcherrick My goodness, boys and their toys. What do you want magnets for? and you wouldn't need a cooling fan to keep cool if you weren't tearing apart microwave cookers. However, do make sure your sons and grandsons follow in your footsteps since we need engineers and real men. just do not expect me to understand the working of a man's brain, but I am grateful for it.

[@ttcherrick]

@@sarahclark5447 I tutor elementary school kids and the ring-shaped magnets can be stacked on a wooden dowel so that they "bounce" off each other on the invisible magnetic fields (there are KZbin videos on this toy). Makes a really interesting demonstration. I'm afraid I'm fighting a losing battle: today's kids would rather use "devices"than screw with electro-mechanical stuff like I did. If it weren't for HS robotics programs we'd have no new engineers!

[@sarahclark5447]

​@@ttcherrick Thank you so much for teaching the children. I love children and hopefully will have my own one day. As regards their interest try to make sure the girls are excluded as they are already lost, there may be exceptions to the rule, of course. boys in the main are interested in moving objects (girls are interested in faces). not every boy will have the same interest but if you can concentrate on the ones that show the greatest interest. make sure they get hands-on with your projects and not just be spectators. At my church one of the boys runs a club which lets the young boys play with electronic components, resistors, capacitors and transistors they make little circuits and they seem to get a lot of fun out of that. I do needlework with the little girls and they enjoy that too

[@saisankaravaraprasad2762]

sai can you explain what is the use of a capacitor, diode and how could we control the heat in the microwave oven

[@BlueprintScience]

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. Second, microwaves aren’t “hot” per se. there is a fixed energy rate and we adjust heat by how long things (like food) are exposed to that energy.

Oops! I took many of those mag's apart,, just wondering, what are the symptoms of poisoning from the berillium oxide

[@toddt6730]

@5000 i worked in a repair shop and they used to get broken, the guys i worked with couldn't even spell microwave, i doubt they were aware of the dangers

[@anishmoolchandani]

I've constructed the exact setup with transformer.Im able hear the fussy vibration of circuit that means the setup is working fine but I don't know why my magnetron is not luminating fluorescent tube.Please can anybody help me with this.

[@taraarrington2285]

What do you think the effects of these being used on someone would be

[@ENTR0PYDDC]

It’s funny because I was going to make a microwave gun myself as-well, but I wanted to make it mobile and discharge in a few seconds. Anyways, I enjoy your videos and subscribed.

[@BlueprintScience]

Cool. I hope you stick around Dakota You know, it is possible to make a mobile 120V AC power source with a car battery and an inverter. Or let a huge capacitor draining through the transformer primary. A mobile version can still be done. That would be so cool

[@ENTR0PYDDC]

Blueprint indeed. I don’t want to use an inverted. I was thinking high voltage caps that are charged.

[@ENTR0PYDDC]

Inverter.

[@ENTR0PYDDC]

I’m gonna see if I can make a Jacobs ladder with the transformer and cap instead.

[@gil10601]

Thank you, you make terrific videos please keep up th e great work

[@alphaindustries5775]

Im having trouble creating a horn for my magnetron. I have no idea what dimensions to use and the video made by keystone science isnt much help. what dimensions should I use?

[@debkay1986]

Please tell us how to take this gun out! What can we use.. a greenlaser?

[@BlueprintScience]

Not sure what you mean, “take it out?”

[@banethescientist]

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

[@xxxwelliam1029]

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.

[@majorrgeek]

I always thought even from my early physics classes calling the microwave device a gun is a bit of a stretch

[@braaitongs]

I need to make a microwave beam that has a frequence equal to larmor frequency. So all I need to do is change the waive guide size and I can get it to around 3ghz??

[@Bigshoots86]

What will that gun do to a security camera from 20 ft?

[@GG-vo5cb]

How can you block the microwave weapons

[@vanhetgoor]

You could have doubled the force by using the reflected lobe, just tune it in distance with the frequency. I think the manufacturers of magnetron ovens find this to difficult. Maybe you could use a cone as a reflector for all the waves.

[@FuelEfficiency]

Yup F the FCC. I'm a Genius in Electronic for 45 years. Send me $35, and I will give you part and schematic to increase your MW power by 2X, $50, by 3X. Chivolinha at Yandexcom fix the com. I used to build 5kw RF Transmitter in war zone, when I was 14 - 17 years old. Evidenced by Jupiter+Uranus conjunction in my 3rd house (mind). This is a way to increase the range. BTW - When Apollo 11 went to the moon there was a conjunction of Jup+Uranus for 1-week. I have this sign permanently. That's why I can do many things people cannot do.

[@texasfossilguy]

not too difficult, probably unnecessary for the power needed to cook food
