This was the nerdiest and best thing I have ever seen on CZcams! Great humour and amazing knowledge. Thanks for the great entertainment
That’s what I’m here for ;)
@@BlueprintScience So is this how HAARP works?
Have seen really high pressure building over Greenland, which will mean cold weather for UK NEXT week?
Miss the RC Sparks from the north of me hope all is well
@@BlueprintScience hi. Using this device... Can you stop the oscillations of a tesla coil, for example?
The gov't doesn't care, as long as you don't connect it to the flux capacitor in your Delorean...
Or make it run an engine without gas
don't give him the I idea.
You're hilarious and wicked informative, guy. I can't believe I'm only hearing about you now. Will share and favorite. Keep up the good work!
Well, the customer comes first.
@@BlueprintScience Teacher, since I saw this video, my whole heart is on this magnetron gun, can you teach me how to do it? Or give me a schematic diagram, I want to do the same as him, I haven't slept well for six months because of this gun, I lost 13 pounds, I'm afraid I will think about this gun one day , thinking of getting sick and dying czcams.com/video/tD1mwaVlNUE/video.html
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!

So, if you wanted a microwave gun with the range to knock a drone out of the sky at reasonable distance, wouldn't you want to go with a microwave laser, commonly called a MASER (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation)? I would love to see THAT in action!
That would be a bad idea because that would also knock a 747 out of the sky. All of the dead people would come back to haunt you!
As someone not very experienced with microwaves, how difficult would it be to do something like that
@@eimronaton363 This oughta do the trick:
czcams.com/video/S_W7ebTEdqo/video.html
@@1southsoon I mean, that HEAVILY depends on scale. A man-portable maser probably isn't going to knock out a plane at 36,000 feet up.... One the size of a rifle might be really god at zapping things at a few hundred yards, though.
@@eimronaton363I would think it would be very similar to building any laser but much more difficult and dangerous. You would need a source of coherent microwaves and a way to focus them. Probably lots of specialized test equipment and a good understanding of physics.
1:30 It's also important to remember that you shouldn always discharge the capacitor even if the microwave is not plugged in.
You the Russian guy shooting people in Moscow w your gun?
@@WickedHill Maybe in Cuba?
I love your legal disclaimer. My ex-wife worked for a contractor, specializing in non-lethal weaponry. They made a much larger one, to form barriers and stuff.
“And stuff”
ADS?
I love how they have to say that they're non-lethal because they have The gaslight everyone
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!
So tell the people what has to be done to short capacitors to discharge their charge!
i guess this guy don't know about that 2000v capacitor
@@StephanieSoressi Connect them to ground, though you will get a full discharge instantaneously, so the circuit or wire you do it with should be able to carry the full discharge energy. A series resistance in the circuit would slow the discharge, but again, the resistor used must be rated to carry the current/voltage of the accumulated charge.

@@StephanieSoressi when I was much younger and working in a shop the method we used to discharge a cap was to pitch it across the room for someone else to catch.
ALSO. EYE PROTECTION!!! Putting potentially explosive items in a microwave, wear eye protection. Heck, doing almost anything in an experimental setting , wear eye protection!
I love your work mate. Stick at it . You have a real flair for explaning it to those of us whom are interested.
Nice! I had my waveguide (a tin can with both sides cut off) flush with the magnetron not knowing why it wasn't effective. You are very informative and helpful!
Sure thing! Glad I could be so helpful ;)
Neat videos, keep up the good work! I have a feeling ill be referencing allot of your content in the near future when i have more free time to work on new projects ;)
"Did I mention this is a gun? Don't go around shooting a bunch of stuff with it." (ONE SECOND LATER) "OK, let's shoot some stuff with it!"
Well done! Great videos!!
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.
@ 5:01 😂😂😂
I now love this guy!!! The fact he doesn't edit out his mistakes and shows us what happens even in immense pain! SUBBED!!!!
The cautions on the capacitor is real. Having experienced an electrolytic discharging into my hand while working on a TV set in high school electronics class…ouch. This was a very entertaining video, well crafted and fun! Great work!
Quick note to all, feel free to join our Blueprint Discord server! discord.gg/kUhsU4p
great job!!!! What is its scope?, can it reach 30 meters? what did it make to the drone?
Dude, awesome videos. really interesting and entertaining.
How does this effect microchip implants?

Out of the blue I got this in my recommendation, and I love the good work, thanks!
My pleasure
Thank you, you make terrific videos please keep up th e great work
Can you change the capacitor to increase the frequency for double and see the effects
I'm impressed. You do some crazy things just for the fun of it..like me. Best of all you never loose safety out of eyesight. keep the videos coming..subscribed for sure!
Yeah, safety... I always do that. Never once have I done something unsafe. "Mr. Safe," that's me.
Microwave guns: them safe.
Well, I'm not dead, so I must be doing something right. Thanks for subbing, Kalle :)
Hey,great video. I want to make a microwave gun(or something smaller if possibe?). So im curious ,can the mosquito be killed on deFrost,i dont want to damage someones brain or something.Just the mosquitos.
You should build a pulse forming network and hit those magnetrons with a nice fast rise time pulse about 8-10kv then you will get some real power out of them! ;)
Well done very informative.
1:46 Doesn't the capacitor still hold lethal amounts of charge even when powered off?
YES!!! DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!!⚠️⚠️⚠️
I'm Really enjoying your videos! You're incredibly smart and very funny. I also appreciate your attention to safety. 🙂👍
What angle is optimal for the "feed horn" you showed. The actual measurement of that CAD looking sketch that is. I want to make the horn direct straight forward and minimize side lobes
Best crash course ever ...nice job kid
Wonderful job
Hello,
I have a question, can the electro magnetic waves be diverted in a pipe ? In case if i have 4 compartments to be cooked, I have one centralized Magnetron, Can I divert the waves through any tube like structure ? Is it possible to have a solenoids control 4 valves for each compartment and turn on in each compartment when ever required.
And in a normal microwave oven, How is the distance influenced between magnetron and the food ? Suppose the distance is close to the food, and if the distance is 150mm , How this would result ?
Thank you
4000 V. the future is owen microonde of NGa SiC transistor at 60 V
hi, I would like to build a microwave machine to disinfest wooden floors and furniture from woodworms. Using the components of 2 microwave ovens, can you advise me on the shape, position and distance to observe to build the electromagnetic bell? I would use the original 6.4cm magnetron guides but how should I assemble the emitters? placed side by side like your gun or as I see on the net arranged in parallel? A thousand thanks
3:33 transient non-destructive induction events. Fascinating.
Wonder why you just have around 900 subscribers, great channel, love your videos
I know why: It's called a consistent upload schedule... I don't do that
Anyway, thanks for your support :)
Your welcome my friend
I liked the dont touch hot stuff mistake! And great knowledge
Very very good. thanks !
I worked in electronics/electricity for nearly 50 years, the golden rule if probing high voltage- right hand for the probe- left hand in pocket! I am still here nearly 80 now!😁
This is sooooo epic, where can I get blueprint of that?
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.
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? 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.
@@fuadhamamah6322 Honestly, I hove no idea how best to tune the antenna to the magnetron. Though, I imagine that making straight electrical contact should be enough.
Would it not be more effective to have a two sided wave guid instead of just one? Theoretically isnt half of the antenna's energy being lost?
Thank you so much brother ☺️☺️ from india!! Got a good amount of knowledge!
My pleasure
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??
Hi! I have a question.
Do you use aluminium to ''reflect and absorb'' microwave?
If yes, what sort of aluminium?
99,9%? 99,5% or else?
How to reflect it efficiently?
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
For channeling waves off the mag as you drew it, wouldn't a simple elizabethan collar formation work perfectly? It would bounce the waves ~ 90 deg straight out....?
That would work as well. The reason that I made mine the way that it is is because I was using the rectangular waveguide from the microwave as my first stage. Therefore, the rest should be rectangular also.
P.S. I had no idea that was called an "Elizabethan collar" - I'll add that one to my vocab.
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?
Have similar ideas, particularly about multiplying/focusing output and making use of constructive harmonic interference.
you are the greatest invented i have ever known you have you brought light in to my life by teaching me what always wanted to do thanks a million& more times
sure thing
You are the most articulate individual I’ve ever met.
CZcams is wrong for not suggesting this channel to me sooner.
For some reason this guy reminds me of one of those crazy interns in Bones TV show.
Interesting!!
I love the subtle humor in your videos. Are you a ham radio operator? Keep up the great work!
Earl Gray I was wondering the same thing...de KC3LMP

Oops! I took many of those mag's apart,, just wondering, what are the symptoms of poisoning from the berillium oxide
@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
Are you also a comedian? I loved your humor. Great video!
Love this so much, thanks bro
Of course :)
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?
Can somehow other wave that you are absorbing in video be used also and change it's phase? Or it's hard ?
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.
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?
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.
Therefore would each wave have different strengths and size do to it reflecting and absorbing
from the sides?
Oh yeah!!! Good entertaining educational video.
Dude this video was awesome
Hi, i ordered a magnetron on ebay, and the tip has a dent in it. Will it still work?
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.
thank you for showing this
np. Thanks
Cool stuff man! Take care! Peace ✌️ from Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Hola saludos desde bogota Colombia..gracias por el video .....y como es el diagrama de coneccion...
I have a question. I know about MASER it was the first attempt of making a laser beam in the microwave spectrum. But you made a microwave lantern or flashlight. How can you focus the beam better soon it will go farther!?
Incredibly dangerous, but awesome
sai can you explain what is the use of a capacitor, diode and how could we control the heat in the microwave oven
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.
Amazing!
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.
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 Thanks for reply mate. That is absolutely helpful. You have done what the best educators could do - "Inspiring people".
Could one move moisture around with micro waves?
For example .
Emit a cloud in a box, or room using a fog
Then radiate the "cloud", to migrate, precipitate or evaporate?
possibly microwave a pool of water and cause temperature of the water to rise?
side note
it was nice to see that drone fall out of the sky> shoot!
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
Electromagnetic waves can be amplified the same as sound. Note, it doesn't increase the power, just the amplitude.
Love your video keep it up my son and I just subscribed
Is there a way to concentrate the wave form before releasing it from the horn to pinpoint a target?
@Kevin Corapi like an optical lens? really?
Instead of a horn, could you direct the waves into a nozzle?
The man that discovered the micro wave was lucky to like Hershey's chocolate bar that was working on radar
Microwaves we’re already being used, but no in homes, this story come from the guy that realised they could use it as an oven.
They were previously being used to reheat, and revive rats that were cryogenically frozen.
how to spin vawes forward? plastic fan ? compressed air ?
Thank you!😉👍
You're welcome
Thank you! I'll fry my neighbor's sound
You should go to hell man, we were targeted by sick narcissists and chased out of our homes. These electro magnetic and micro wave weapons , also instruments that can see you through walls and hear you talk are used to terrorize people and one can’t go to the police. They hurt my mother’s eyes gave her cataracts. You should learn about it before making cheap jokes.
Thank you!!!
Great video
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.
My mag netron don't light up anything,how do you wire it up?
where did you learn about the magnetron antenna pattern

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?
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.
hI @@BlueprintScience
I have seen a brick in a microwave oven on CZcams and it exploded blowing the door off. I guess this is the moisture trapped in the little bubbles within the brick vaporising rapidly. I was thinking of a low power warmup at say 20w-50w for a few weeks to dry the bricks out and drive out all the moisture.
Were you born this way, I find this so darn interesting but way above my intellect. Could be my age + my partying into the 80s
Toke it up baby
i didn't quite get what you were saying about a sick bird. will you repeat that in your next video, please? Thank you.

What electrical device would be efficient to make instant super heated steam continuously . To power a steam engine .
Apparently an element from a Walmart kettle, it's honestly impressive, lol.
Thanks Q.
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.
He just showed how he tuned the wave.
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)?
I honestly have no idea what would happen
I've got a cool idea. Why don't you do it, and I'll watch from a distance
Elaborate, you have peeked my intreast.
Could you use a "gun" like this for electricity transfer?
is the horn tuned to 2.4ghz?
WONDERFUL !
Thanks :)
