A little over a month ago the Science Center of Iowa asked me if I could build something that could cook bacon in a fun and educational way for their Bacon Fest Junior. I then built this microwave gun! It uses a special antenna called a magnetron to create powerful high energy radio waves that can heat fats and water and also transfer power wirelessly! During the event I was even interviewed about it for the local channel 5 news!
I would like to thank the science center for donating the microwave oven and for giving me the opportunity to talk to people about interesting subjects like this! I would also like to thank Mac Siruta and Jay Curts for their help and contributions to this project!

I do not own this song. I just believe it is a great song and during the construction of this project this song became the theme due to the resemblance of the gun from the portal games from which this song came.
If you have not played the portal games I highly recommend them!
HERF is an acronym for; High Energy Radio Frequency
