  • better yet, use the horn as a "flash" chamber for a MASER! pretty sure the ruby rods were originally for masers, then they found out about LASER's. ya just don't see any one making them that often any more

  • ok so if you know about wave guides,.. why did you make a horn? you can make a straight narrow tube. seems like an odd choice. if ya have ever looked at the wave guides in a dishTV reciever, they are like little channels connecting the parts, ~0.75cm if I had to guess. seems like you would be fine w/ a square stock works better. rectangle if you want to polarize it.

  • Interesting ... plans need to be posted that can take down the drone that will be buzzing at your bedroom window in a couple years.

  • i don't think you trust in my video cuts.

  • Glad you didn't microwave the cat lol

  • Don't try this at home kids

  • U should try on a camera then i may need the schematics lol

  • I like the video; I have a Microwave Antenna myself, very similar to yours. I'll post videos soon.

  • You can't get cancer standing behind the wave-guide and horn antenna. The radiation exposure from behind the device is equivalent to exposure to a 100-500W CB radio, and that doesn't give anyone cancer. Microwaves aren't in the ionizing radiation spectrum. The most that would happen is a migraine and possibly cataracts if you're near or in front of the aperture.

  • надеюсь кошку не жарили?

  • This is really stupid you would have been exposed to electromagnetic radiation.

  • For sec at the end there I thought the cat was gonna the cat was gonna get microwaved too

  • What's that noise? (herf gun firing)

  • your going to get cancer that way.

  • NEVERMIND; I FOUND WHAT I NEED!

    CHEMTRAIL PLANES WILL GO DOWN IN ROMANIA!

    OR AT LEAST IN A SMALL PART OF IT!

    GBPPR HERF Device

  • The cat at the end freaked me out ^^

    thought for a second....

  • I want to send a beam of microwaves at those fucking chemtrail airplanes that have stealed the rain from Romania for the past years and esspecially the last 6 months in wich it did not rain a drop!

    I WANT THEM GOING DOWN AND BURN LIKE THEY WERE IN HELL!

    thank you !

  • How are your balls?

  • guys it can't cause cancer, it's non-ionizing radiation. It'll cook you, but won't cause DNA damage to cause cancer. Just like the worst thing you can get from cell phone usage is a cataract.

  • dude ur gonna get cancer from that thing

  • cancer :D

  • Your pretty smart housing the Magnetron, as the beams are redirected at a certain thing and not scattered, either way just try not to get in the way while its on!

  • Way to get cancer fast :D

  • I wouldn't be standing anywhere near that fucker!

  • one of these + phonebooth + idiot that talks way too long = Shiskibab

  • DUDE, you've invented time machine!!!!!!

  • you're so awesome!

  • here can you put a video on about how you made it because i have half the parts but don't know to work them like the transformer and the capacitor

  • Is it safe to stand behind that?

  • Now ask someone to stand off in the distance with a lightbulb on their head!

  • DISCLAIMER: Playing with high voltage electronics and microwaves is dangerous. Neither video posters nor any individual leaving a comment is liable for accidental or intentional destruction of property, people, or pets.

  • @SpazzyMcGee1337 disclaimer: this is weapon, so it is DESIGNED to be dangerous

  • you could do things a lot better with a laser

  • That's an interesting unit... You have an FCC operating license for it???

  • expensive! great job, great video and great idea congratulations.

    just hope that cat is well hahahaha

  • @leaualorin why dont you like the music?

  • is kitty ok :O?

  • Comment removed

  • Be nice to blast gangsters blowing their bass at intersections.

  • Fckin AMAZING song, hahah' SoaD FTW!

  • ENEMY EMP ELETRONICS ARE DOWN!!

  • HAHA Chop Suey ftw

  • Any idea were I could find a tutorial on how to build this weapon? I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

  • Anyone know how to transmit the microwaves in a straight line? as a beam of light!

  • Good choice in destroying windows 98.

  • oooh! nice 'n dangerous!

  • Can you list all the components needed? I've been a Victim of a similar )more advanced microwave weapon), and would love to know how to Fight back, with something like your perverse invention...

  • have you tried it on the cat yet????

  • BAD way to Die

  • Clock, before... 12:01

    after 13:89o' clock

  • nifty, do you have any schematics available?

  • So is it possible to focus this beam into laser pointer sized beam, and cook stuff from a long ways away?

  • that is just awesome!

  • This is the indirect result of massive unemployment.

  • -1 point for the loud music.

  • would either polishing the waveguide or making it longer by some factor of the wavelength help to focus it a little more?

  • Danger Will Robinson...

  • that must be a good way to do magic tricks. Like power a light bulb that your holding.

  • @TheCanadamerican And cook your hand lol

  • you have created time travel in the beginning.  set the the volts to 88 and your going to see some seroious shit.

  • Poor windows 98 :(

  • That's really awesome. What do you think would happen if you aimed the gun at the arcs of a Tesla coil?

  • @teddybear114 Don't ever, EVER do that... The electrical disruptions caused by the coil, combined with the microwaves would create a space-time worm hole, and without control, will provoke a TIME PARADOX! In other words, we would be screwed...

  • I thought you were gunna fry the cat...

  • I think this is one of the coolest realms of physics ever, and it's a shame that it's not being explored more by individuals like you're clearly doing here. The potential applications for high frequency EMF and VF oscillators and such are just astounding. I'd like to build two high energy tuned resonant oscillators and try wireless energy transfer myself. Tesla was absolutely brilliant.

  • @GliTCH11 As far as I kno their uses are to dick around. It's the same reason this guy has a cat not a dog. Dogs are more practical but cats are for dicking around.

  • Glass and plastic are "invisible" to microwaves. You could collimate it with a slotted waveguide lens, parabolic dish (you probably recognize these two on radio/cellular towers as the drums and vertical tubes), so I've heard; microwaves can be focused and collimated with magnetic fields. The latter I've only seen in practice internally for to make plasma, not external transmission. Slotted waveguide is the cheapest and parabola is the most flexible and effective though large and fragile.

  • Please upload the schematics of the Magnetron on Instructibles. com

  • @Catvore You can find out how magentrons, klystrons, oscillators, etc work on wikipedia and google :)

  • Do you think you could explain the wiring detail? Like how is the Magnetron connected to the transformer?

  • Sadly, that sound that you are hearing is the sound of the radiowaves messing with your camera, this also means that if you are not wearing a radiation suit you are most likely being irradiated. THATS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH BTW....

    I wouldnt really wanna be standing anywhere close to there while that thing is on...

    Just sayin.. :P

  • kind of cool but not cool enough to justify the waste of resources. really what do u need this for.

  • What are the required dimensions of a horn antenna for microwave oven magnetron frequencies?

  • Put some raw meat in front of there.

  • It's cute... LOL.

  • I found a helpful tutorial on how to build a herf gun, but gay youtube wont let me post it. :(

    if any 1 wants it msg me or something

  • I found a helpful tutorial on how to build a herf gun, but gay youtube wont let me post it. :(

  • I would NOT let my cat near that

  • I though you were going to microwave the cat to have a cool ending...too bad :p also the noise it made when on was creepy good.

  • very cool but abit beyond me lol

  • dude you could get in hella trouble theres regulations against this..it is iligal to power a magnetron outside its housing!!

  • Im going to use a Sattelite Dish for Directional

  • Have you tested this microwave gun on a watermelon? Its just out of curiousity.

  • lol, I do have to say that when I saw the cat in front of the device, I thought it should be running away as fast as if it had been spotted in a Chinese restaurant kitchen! And then of course I instantly realized you are a kind and bright person, who would not own an animal if you did not care for it. Well done you! I believe I see another Tesla fan working here! I applaud you expressing proper insulation. I hope you figure out something new with your experimentation. Great Vid, thumbs up!

  • Be careful with that thing. Do not ever look at it sraight on. It can burn your eyes first for some reason. Also do not stare at the sun as well.

  • I have an important question. If I start playing with a magnetron in this manner, is there a danger of getting injured. I have 2 or 3 magnetrons from microwaves, but, I'm kinda scared to use them right now. I don't want to fry myself, anybody else or get too much microwave radiation?. Besides all this, do you know if this concept can explain how radar works and how planes or satellites communicate? I've wondered is there a way to use one in a communications project. Any thoughts on this?

  • Pretty cool,keep it up maybe one day you'll come up with something better.

  • when i saw the cat i got really scared :O

  • I can see many uses for the household microwave...

    Tear it apart and harvest the magnetron and construct a device for Home protection.

  • How does the microwave gun affect something organic? Willing to get knowledge from you.

  • @dafranx depends on power level on how fast it affects organic matter

    thy work by exiting the water in the target and cook from the inside out

    fist thing that happens is that the eyes balls explode then the targets skin begins to split like a hot dog being cooked for to long in the microwave till the point that the target ether drys out as hard as a rock or explodes

    but this is all dependent upon power level of the microwave (maser canon) and what type of magnetometer you are using

  • hi what could be done to focus the microwaves so that this could have a decent range on it? also if you were to use a smaller more energy efficient magnatron, careful sheilding, a step up transformer and a couple of industrial lithium polymer ion batteries do you think that it could me made portable?

  • Nikola Tesla FTW!

  • clap clap clap i shall also build this my friend i comend you for your creation

  • Since microwaves pass through glass and can be focused like light, Im thinking of attaching half a binocular to the end of my waveguide. Light that goes into the end where you would normally put your eye (the convex side) is straightened by the lens and spreads out less than it would if it had not passed through the lens. As in, the light would go straight and not spread out as much. How well would this be able to keep the microwaves from dispersing.

  • @RedDawnJensen Sorry, but that won't work at all, the waveguide needs to be at least ~3.5" in one dimension(h/w) always so it doesn't clip the wave which would greatly reduce the output. Also, microwaves are not focused/refracted by glass at all. The only realistic way to focus microwaves is with a horn antenna, or a feed horn to a large parabolic dish.

  • @kylesmith22 ehhhh, nuts.

    What about a cone shaped metal? I mean, why does the waveguide have to have a square end? To me itd make a ton more sense if a cone with a round end was used, and instead of the emitter coming up from the bottom, itd be at the center of the cone. The cone would be 45 degrees. I assume microwaves reflect at equal and opposite angles like light does, but I dont wanna inadvertently make myself out to be a particle theorist. Then again, I think quantum is nonsense so yeah.

  • @kylesmith22 True glass would not affect it but microwaves can be refacted by parifin.With the benifit that parifin will not absorb the microwaves.

  • @RedDawnJensen yew peepul ahr smahrt!

  • @RedDawnJensen Your idea is not entirely ridiculous. If the radio source frequency is in the millimeter range rather than centimeters (as are microwave ovens), you can sharply focus the power with teflon lenses just as you can focus visible light. OK. it's cool. Now stop giving yourself a giant radiation dose, Finish school and then do something good with your education.

  • @joesitter20101

    A Rad tech here - You had better go back to school mate... Microwave ovens function in the 2 to 2.5GHz S-band range. They are immune to optical effects of a lense that is designed to work in the mid-THz range.

    Mind you, I'd be having a talk to him regarding un-licensed transmissions in these bands... Inmarsat, GM-SAT and a whole pile of ISM gear can be fried with such power outputs... Very silly ungarded transmissions like this can KILL.

  • Very nice horn.

    Is the SWR high???

  • @christthi sorry guess this wasnt meant for your kind

  • Pretty cool. Just hope the FCC and FAA don't start giving you trouble. Be careful about any possible sidelobe spurious emissions, for your nuts' sake. Have fun with that thing.

  • Point the device at the band playing that 'music' ! Just leave it on for a few minutes . . .

  • 2:50 I was expecting you to fry the cat.

  • Finally a video thats cool AND has good music, you don't come across that too often anymore

  • cool shit.

  • you should NEVER go infront of that thing, it can be very dangerous

  • Microwaves have less energy than visible light so there is no risk of dna damage like from x-rays and radio-active particles. So long that your body can disipate the heat fast enough would also be unlikley that you would be burnt either. Also microwaves obey the inverse square law, in other words if you double your distance from the source you quarter the exposure.  Seems save to me.

  • Microwaves is ordinary radio waves, but with a very short wavelenght. There is a risk of internal burn close to the magnetron/aperture (your fingers will be cooked inside out, so you feel the heat just to late), but else not more dangerous than what you eventually will feel. There is no risk for cancer, as this is not x-ray or ionization radiation.

    BUT - The high voltage transformer powering the magnetron tube (the transmitter og microwaves), will probably kill you in a second (2300 V).

  • @forskingslogen

    Good explanation, I completely agree, which is why I never go in front of it, and all the high voltage connections are properly insulated.

  • @kylesmith22 by adjusting the aperture is it possible to narrowly direct the microwaves so that the range can be extended? Or does the air absorb too much of the energy to make this possible?

  • @forskingslogen

    This is abc's to herf builders.

  • @forskingslogen Microwave Ovens do not cook from the inside out. "Microwaves penetrate the food to a depth of 1 to 1½ inches. In thicker pieces of food, the microwaves don't reach the center. That area would cook by conduction of heat from the outer areas of the food into the middle. Frozen foods that are thick like a small chicken cooked in a microwave with have the outside burn before the inside is thawed out." - Source USDA

  • @forskingslogen try looking at the armies microwave gun very powerful and u feel the heat but dont die..

  • can you post schematics or email them to me, this would make for a great physics prac

  • do you have shematics you could post or email, this would make a kick ass science project

    

  • Everything you can image has been invented and kept from us by the people who control the world.....

    Stargate the show is just mocking us to our face about the technology and aliens that are here

  • I would use that on the Jonas brothers. To fuck them up

  • WARNING: to the creator and anyone that plans on building this, DON'T. Unshielded microwave radiation is DEADLY. It can also reflect off of some solid objects and right back at you. Did you notice the "buzz" when then waveform "microwave" was turned on? That was the sound of you being irradiated by microwaves. You probably sterilized yourself by doing this idiotic stunt and you won't have any kids so from the rest of the gene pool a big thank you

  • @vespabones

    Before you start spouting your fear-mongering idiocy, do a bit of research first.

    The sound you hear in the video is a combination of both the actual sound of the magnetron, the same sound you hear cooking a bag of popcorn, and a very small amount of microwave interference. The danger of microwave radiation is due the internal heating generated when it hits tissue. The amount of radiation from this, even 6 feet away directly in front of it is already less than you get sunbathing.

  • @kylesmith22 i think what vespa said was kind of unfounded by facts but i do think that unshielded microwaves radiation could be possibly very dangerous even in such small amounts.

  • @kylesmith22 and my god i didnt finish reading, 6 feet away sunbathing, wow i didnt know anyone could be so stupid, about 100 miles or so away in clear sight would be the same as sun bathing, 6 feet will cook you, if you dont beleave me, sit 6 feet infront of it for a half hour and see how horrible you feel. you might have to go to the ER so i dont reccomend doing that but if you wana do it power to ya.

  • @coolkidqwqe

    Please find some facts before posting again, to reiterate: Solar radiation and microwave radiation are both non-ionizing, meaning all they do is create heat, the microwave will heat your insides slightly more than the sun because it has a greater wavelength, and thus penetrates deeper, but the overall heat absorbed by your body is the same.

  • @coolkidqwqe

    The sun has an intensity of 1000w/m^2 on a sunny day. The microwave output of this device is about 1000w, and in a 30 degree cone, the area of the radiation cone is about 1m^2 at a distance of 2.1m, or 7ft (which I'll admit is greater than 6ft). Do you follow? This is the same reason I can't cook anything at a distance with this, if that was possible I would have shown it.

  • @kylesmith22 So why not just suspend the food right next to the opening?

  • @kylesmith22 Your comparison of this item to sunlight, and sunbathing, is flawed. Sunlight is broadbanded, from DC to beyond daylight. Various bands have different physiological impacts. As such the in-band energy of the sun at the Earths surface is MUCH less than the in-band energy of this device for its band.

    Also, the feedhorn adds a little gain, so that the ERP of the system could be 10,000 watts or more. The exact number will depend on horn efficiency and real magnetron output power.

  • @kylesmith22 1 kW RF, no feedline loss, 25 dBi or less feedhorn gain, probably more like 12-16 dBi. At 12 dBi the power density at 2 meters would be 31 mW/cm^2 (way more than sunbathing). Hazard levels are often accepted at about 5 mW/cm^2 (hazard levels vary by agency/guideline). If the gain is more than 12 dBi then the power density will be higher. Don't set in front of it and it would not hurt to check the back/sidelobes.

    Yes, there is a hazard, few interesting things are free of risk.

  • @vespabones

    People like you are the ones who stop us from doing experiments in the first place. Without people doing things like this we would not have the inventions we use today such as microwave ovens and X-ray machines...

  • @vespabones

    DURRrrrrrr!!!!

  • @vespabones this proves without a doubt any fucking retard like this vespabones with an internet conection can just spout lies. lucky for this fagot tho thats not a crime, someone build one and aim it at his nuts or ovaries and steralize this negroid so he cant breed, i mean strap doosh here down and plug it in and aim it at its junk and leave the room, im sure if a microwave can bake a tater it can help us out as well, thanks for not breeding bucko

  • Great way to get cancer.

  • Quick, while nobody is looking!!! Point it at your neighbor's house!!!

  • @christthi What was a pointless attempt to bash a genre of music that simply doesn't appeal to you.

  • Yeah.. That can't be too healthy to play with.

  • Can u make a tutorial of how to make sometin like dat pls thx.

  • I thought your cat was volunteering as a test subject... #LOL

  • You should put tin foil on your cats head and put it in the microwave..

  • You've invented TIME TRAVEL! LOOK AT THE CLOCK!

  • Hehe cool. That's a good way to get cancer if you need a medical marijuauna card :)

    (south park)

  • I was trying to hear what the creator was saying, but terrible rock music was drowning him out.

  • You do realize that microwaves can be extremely dangerous to your health, don't you? The waves could have easily been reflected into your eyes when you "fired" the waves onto those metal surfaces.

  • @AMERICAN0ZERO anything that's been fried potentially causes cancer, then there's all kinds of hydrocarbons(also not very healthy) a car produces when cold started and so on... EM(microwave) radiation is not proven to cause cancer, the ones above are...

  • in the uk 100% illeagl to mess about with a microwave 4 some readon another a stupid law

  • Very interesting, i have a extra microwave i wanted to experiment with like this. any suggestions?

  • That looks REALLY fucking dangerous...

  • dont stand in front of that thing it meses up ur head

  • try to microwave your cat (just joke)

  • try to microwave your cat (just joking)

  • Is the result a burning heat inside the human body ?

    What tests are made ?

  • Is the result a burning heat inside the human body ?

    What tests are made ?

  • hey idk if you could figure out the correct distance.. but you could probably charge something like an ipos(no too expensive) or something else rechargeable with it

  • Have you thought about making it more directional by narrowing the dispersion pattern?

    I heard one time this guy used an aluminum pipe. Stretch one end of it making the diameter a little larger then the other side. Kind of like a cone just not that extreme of a change from end to end. He claimed he could cook an egg form more then 20ft. Do you think that was B.S.

  • @onefarmville

    Sorry, he was giving you complete B.S. the extreme change actually focuses much better than a shallow angle at these size horns and these microwave frequencies. To cook an egg at 20ft with a single microwave oven magnetron you would need at a huge satilite dish and an extremely precise feed horn.

  • @onefarmville If you put what is called Microwave lens -not kidding-Not a glass lens..it's made of metal finns -the spacing of the fins determin the freq that passes

    That would make it directional.

    But you would still have to contend with the Science fact.

    Inverse-Square Law.

  • @PostDefacto Oh how nice it would be if the "inverse Square Law was no so difficult to contend with. It would make directed energy weapons so much better over long distances.

  • so can you make me one for when the robots revolt?

  • very good

  • Try a marshmallow....like a peep

  • For longrange microwave beam, need either a large dish reflector or a microwave Yagi. Try dxzone, Directive Systems, or build a copy of theirs.

  • cccccccccoooooooollllllllll!

  • His pussy almost got singed

  • @christthi

    nobody fucking forced you to watch the video so just shut the fuck up

  • doesn't this tell you that magnets is the actually powering our lightbulbs not what so called electricity?
