►WHAT IS THIS
In this video, I look at a microwave's radiation emitter: a magnetron. This component is DANGEROUS!!!! It has several toxic materials inside of it. Please be careful.
Unlike other videos I could find, I focus on the physics of what is going on inside of a magnetron. I hope this will help people understand them better.

►NOTE
On a personal note: All of you catastrophist peers of mine who said I didn't know what I was doing when I made a Microwave Gun. Eat your words!
