      You need to put a rotating plate in the bottom of the microwave and cover it in grapes cut in half with a tiny bit of skin left between them, they create plasma and then when they break they propel themselves away from each other actually you should team up with physics girl to answer why they push themselves away from each other when after the plasma burns the center part out.

      I don’t think the snack worked because the small microwave stops microwaves coming in add out and the the mini microwave broke so the microwaves where just being deflected

    I'm thinking if you place the magnetrons at a distance proportional to microwave wave length, than maybe they amplify each other better. Or they might not! the other option would be to have some reflective surfaces in front of them to randomize the output a bit more as they do in some microwaves. That would steer the waves a bit more especially if the surfaces move.
    ALSO! to get larger sparks from the foil, don't ball it, but leave strips of foil close to each other and that should look more magnificent!
    AND... no I'm done
    [Edit] oh wait! to see the wave pattern in the oven you could leave a cardboard box in it for 10 seconds and look at it with a thermal camera

      I'm sure there all sorts of destructive interference happening, and I could have done better but I just need to start making videos instead of worrying about it too much.

    @Edu_RJR 6 років тому +138

    Electrical engineer here, you should shield the magnetrons that could be unsafe exposed like that, principally because you have many of those side by side.
    also, depending on the distance you put them appart, and the phase of the waves, they might not even be more powerfull than a single magnetron, they could even cancel out each other and you'd end up with less power being transmitted.

    • @m88k
      @m88k 5 років тому

      There's also the inherent flaw in "more magnetrons=more power" I see no evidence he's running 40 amp service to the megawave.
      Can pretty clearly see the lab power supply registering 24v, 1 amp, but it's also clearly not powering the magnetrons.

    • @Silentguy_
      @Silentguy_ 5 років тому +1

      I honestly feel like he want fully powering the circuit as is anyways. A regular microwave pulls roughly 12-16 amps at 120V and NA breakers pop at around 20Amps so there’s no way he was running all of them at full power, unless he managed to tap multiple breakers across his house.
      And then, as you said, you can’t just bolt a magnetron to a surface and hope it works. Regular microwaves have physical wave guides and rotate just to evenly heat. Now you point multiple magnetrons straight into one direction, all with differing brands, power levels, and possibly even slightly different frequencies, it a miracle it worked at all

      the radiation that destroyed Chernobyl was ionizing radiation, that's gamma rays, uv, X-rays, etc. While this radiation is non-ionizing, infrared, microwave, and radio wave. ionizing radiation knocks off electrons from your dna which makes them unstable because of their small wavelength. Nonionzing wavelengths are too big so they don't have that ability

    My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!

    Lighters will never explode unless you break the entire containment space for the gas simultaneously. This is something learned as a... wayward child. Small holes especially melted ones, near an ignition source, always give a flame thrower. I think the burning gas melts the edges of the hole and makes them reseal. The classic method requires a small bit of skill to hit the ground right, like knife throwing, but you throw the lighter in such a way as to hit the plastic base against the ground and shatter it all in one go. We always used to joke about throwing it down next to a candle... but never tried it. Maybe you should. Just... insert an appropriate disclaimer here. :P

    Ofcourse the microwave inside the microwave didn't work. Since each microwave is a Faraday cage just as you said that protects from the microwaves. So the inside of the inner microwave is protected from the outer microwaves waves by it's Faraday cage, hence no improvement. However the parts outside the Faraday cage (such as electronics and plastics) is affected, hence it melted.

    I was going to do this years ago, but decided against it due to the high levels of radiation. At 4:25 you made me nervous. Even though it may have been unplugged, those 1uF / 2kv caps hold a charge for a little while. It takes time for the internal 10M resistor to bleed off the charge. Be careful!

      It's because microwaves have built in Faraday cages so you don't get irradiated keeping all the microwaves in, in this case it also worked to keep the other waves out. So as soon as the smaller microwave got fried whatever is in the smaller one isn't getting any microwaves

    Microwaves are actually not as dangerous as people say, you can run a magnetron in open air without skin protection and be perfectly fine, that’s because it disperses so damn much, that it can’t hit anything with enough precision to heat the body. That being said, if you stick the gun of the magnetron to your body, its gonna get hot, and possibly burn you internally(which is lethal sometimes). So, magnetrons and microwaves aren’t super dangerous unless you make a device that focuses the output, then it’s more dangerous. Still, you need to know a lot of stuff about microwaves before you work on them or repurpose then.

    I was wondering if you just attached the magnetrons where they would fit, or did you calculate out the distances based on the wavelengths so that one magnetron wouldn't cause the others to be out of phase with it (causing dead spots), reducing the total power produced.

    Did you match the characteristic impedance of the magnetron output waveguide with open air (about 377 Ohms)? If you did not you are creating reflected waves that will diminish the life of the magnetrons and decrease performance. Most waveguides have a horn on the end that accomplish this. You could reuse the sheetmetal one in each microwave. That would increase your efficiency. I should also mention random microwave emission ports cause random constructive and destructive waves within the cavity. So theoretically there may be spots with no microwave energy. The most efficient way to do this is to place each magnetrons at points on one wave guide where each adds to the amplitude of the other or multiplex several waveguides feeding into one output feehorn in the microwave.

    • @wartech0

      Also they are powered In series from the 240v lines. 2 in series then 2 in parallel. Because the 240 is split phase from the transformer I'm pretty sure the magnetrons are doing double the duty cycle. Instead of going from 120 to 0 there going from 120 to -120. Because of this they were making a lot of heat and I had to use hair drier motors to cool them.

      Ah yes, that was quite the amusing show. The answer, by the way, was no. No it was not a good idea to microwave whatever they chose. The longer the series ran, the crazier they had to get to justify any "yes" answers lol.
      My favorite is still the ping pong balls. XD

    You have to be drawing at least 20 amps with all those mags... and transformers.That extension cord has to be warm. (I work with microwaves) Our large food processing system we're designing has 16 in 1 large oven. (1500 watt each) Yours are probably 900 each. But at 115 volts compared to our 230 or 460, our next project, .. twice the amps. You should visit "The Capacitor" in future vids~. Have to have it to make the mags work. Mags need that DC like current. (And need the high voltage diode to do it)
