Microwave gun built from a microwave oven, a few computer fans, sheet metal, and wood.

In addition to what is shown in the video, the gun will jam any radio or cellphone within a large distance.

Warning: 1 Kw of microwave energy is enough to cause blindness in a matter of seconds if you were to stick your face too close.

Many people seem to be interested in tighter focusing, so I'll answer a few off the common questions here: tighter focusing with require a physically much larger device, using a horn antenna is simplest, but beyond about 25-30 decibels of amplification , the size of the horn becomes impractical, and you should instead opt for a feed horn matched to a parabolic dish.

The materials used for the waveguide and antenna must be metal, and the waveguide must be at least about one wavelength in width (4" or 10cm) for maximum efficiency.

  • Poor windows 98 :(

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • надеюсь кошку не жарили?
