Take it Apart S2 1of5 Microwave Oven

[marcuelcajon]

Awesome video.

[unlokia]

I agree that you NEED to be doing this stuff in HD - 720 MINIMUM. 240p is... pants. Great show by the way :-) thanks.

How are any of the parts usable after this guy turns them into junk?

[nicopita97]

Lol at the paper in side the microwave still I wonder of my old 84 Microwave has that stuff in it still.

[thefirstofthefirst]

great videos but you should get a better camera

[bdawg720]

Amazing video, very interesting to watch. keep making videos. Maby next time take apart the magnetron and play around with the magnets:]

[Ellguitar]

This is amazing. It's hilarious when you just drop everything. Like the glass tray, even the camera man is laughing :D

[thomas242007]

i always liked to tinker with stuff to i understand this guy

[landosand]

Clearly not a poster child for careful disassembly. Need to put that HAMMER away.

[TurntheWheel]

the world needs more people like you. If we don't start asking 'how' anymore, we'll be in trouble.

[Peter7Paul]

Watch out for the capacitors in microwaves, they can store very high voltages.

[nicopita97]

Even if the ting is unpluged and been off?

[Road82]

Can you take apart a tv next and describe what not to touch!

Was this on cable access?

[woodsmahaffy]

yes

[mannys9130]

I would say that you need to get a better camera, or more so a microphone. It is distorted and when I turn it up to hear you, the banging of the hammer and other objects make for very unpleasent blasts. that is all that I would say. I enjoy taking things apart by myself but I like your idea for the show, and I would definetly watch it, like "is it a good idea to microwave this?" I like that too!

take out and show us the magnetron, cooling, fan, main trainsformer, and capacitor

[frogz]

the display(aka the VFD) is actually a little florescent tube that sort of works in reverse, the phosphor is in the shape of letters and numbers that glow when a charge is placed near them, hm, actually, it works more like a plasma tv in reverse but check the wikipedia entry for "Vacuum fluorescent display" to learn all about them

[frogz]

modern microwaves generally use lcds to cut on production costs(its alot cheaper to slather some liquid crystals between some glass and "wires" and glue them together than to make a vacuum tight glass enclosure)

and btw, you didnt even take apart the magnetron which has 2 insanely powerful ring magnets! or what about the..uh...hm, the magnetron is the only real cool part, i never took apart the hinges of a microwave thoguh
