"This is called a magnatron, it is a device built upon the dark arts of electronics" I love this guy. The further I get into electrical engineering, the more I understand just how brilliant he is.
Please be EXTRA careful if you take the magnetron apart, as you could get Berylliosis from the Beryllium stored inside that "stick" pointing out. This is not a joke, breathing in Beryllium dust is extremely toxic.
In most domestic microwave ovens, especially newer ones, Aluminium may be used instead of Beryllium though. This is not a guarantee and you should still be careful if you're not 100% sure whether your magnetron contains Aluminium or Beryllium.
+Llewln Not really, most (if not all) microwaves have a very powerful capacitor inside that could instantly kill you. Everything about microwaves are dangerous... That is, if you don't know what you're doing.
ShadowTech Uh, no it is not only in industrial microwaves, that purple band around the extrusion is beryllium oxide, and is a carcinogen to anyone who breathes it in.
My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first ruclips.net/user/postUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!
zirtapot57 Microwaves are built to contain radiation which makes the process safe. However, a magnetron on its own without safety features simply shoot out radiation like crazy.
Miles Edgeworth - Microwaves are non-ionising no matter what - particle decay, far UV and X and Gamma rays only possess enough energy to cause ionisation within molecules. Microwaves are on the thermal side of the spectrum - don't really see how they could cause cancer through their radiation? Similar to how a kettle or a conventional oven cannot cause cancer if you get too close to the elements. Its less to do with the output voltage and more to do with the electron voltage. Wikipedia actually has a fairly good article about Non-ionising radiation if you're interested.
5:10 Always make sure your capacitors, especially massive ones in microwave ovens are discharged. Also, keep the short circuit on them for a while too.
One of my favourite things to salvage from an old microwave is the turntable motor. It works great as a hand crank generator and can generate up to 230 volts depending on how fast you crank it.
@@Bakus74 Its an app, yes... However, its not a joke app. You NEED a Seek Thermal camera for your phone or the app will show nothing but a black screen and throw you an error. The Seek Thermal camera's (tho ridiculously overpriced for what they are) are legit "real thermographic device"'s.
MultiSciGeek; The problem with that is that cellphones CAN actually cause cancer (look up the DNA unzipping mechanism), however, non-ionising radiation is VERY inefficient at it (just compare the sterilization effectiveness of 256nm UV light vs. microwaves of equal power). This does, however, NOT mean that micro/radio waves are completely harmless though. Your cornea is actually very good at absorbing microwaves and doesn't get enough blood flow to effectively cool itself. Having enough radio/micro wave energy fall on your eye to raise its internal temperature by merely 5°C is enough to denature its protective proteins and cause a cascade eventually leading to cateracts. The other really scary part is neural excitotoxicity induced by unregulated Ca(2+) influx from the constant stimulation by the high electric and magnetic field (which can also be used for good by removing the electric field component and only sending a magnetic pulse through the skull, as in TMS therapy).
MRLT Right. Thanks for explaining this. This is exactly why I wanted him to make a video on this topic. First figure out if it is true, if yes how dangerous it is and how it work.
MultiSciGeek; You're very welcome :) I completely agree, in today's society where EVERYTHING is "known to the State of Calofornia to cause cancer and birth defects", I believe it is increadibly important for someone to explain what things are actually dangerous and how to safely handle them (like how he showed that getting electrocuted in water is actually pretty difficult with normal household AC power).
MRLT Yeah exactly. And not just cancer, but there a lot of science myths and misconceptions and fake news and conspiracy theories are making this even worse these days. Cheers :D
Smaller waves (~400nm and under)= cancer due to ionization breaking DNA strands. Larger waves = Causes cataracts, but carries low power and very low resolution per photon. Oh and also could possibly cause cancer due to DNA unzipping mechanisms...

I remember warming up a sausage roll on a small plate that had metal etching on it. It didn't register with my brain at the time that is until I switched the microwave on. It was the most impressive fireworks display I've ever seen...needless to say I didn't eat the sausage roll. I had a sandwich instead.😂

Nah, it is his mustache, i think these are his mustache hairs that are so short that you can't see them but they don't emit any heat so there's a mustache on the thermal camera.
Another way to fix the hot and cold spots is to make sure the plate is in the corner of the rotating part so there is no stationary part that has no way of getting affected by the waves.
I think its just some after effects you can touch higher voltages fairly safely if you really know what you are doing and provide a alternative path other than through your main organs but all the sparks etc will be added is post production editing and he wont be touching anything live
The stirrer is in older microwaves and was phased out because it never really worked that well. It was before they had a revolving plate, I know this because I recently got the chance to scrap some microwaves from the 70's or 80's (not sure what time period, but they had fake woodgrain so I'm pretty sure there were from those general era's).
The stirrer is ONLY in ovens that do not have a rotating carousel plate. The rotating carousel design eliminated the need to the stirrer in smaller ovens. larger and commercial oven will have a stirrer and no rotating plates. For the magnetron tube to turn on you need more than just the 2Kv, you need an HV capacitor andan Hv diode. These will bring the voltage up and raise the amperage to the magnetron tube reaches resonance and start working. Also you need 6 volts for the cathode heater in the tube. This is the third winding on the MOT. Also a warning, The magnetron is made of beryllium ceramic and is VERY toxic so handle with care and do not break it.
I was thinking the same that rotating carousel plate eliminated the need of stirrer. But am also wondering how is the plate better option as compared to stirrer. One thing I could think about is energy requirement which I believe stirrer uses less. Maybe material used for making the stirrer is expensive or difficult to make. What do you think?
He didn't show how to discharge the capacitor, the single most likely cause of death or injury from a microwaves. That loud hum means the magnetron, capacitor or diode is bad. Most likely the magnetron.
Those capacitors have bleeding resistors. I tried to make a bug zapper with a microwave capacitor and it didn't worked because the bleeding resistor discharged it from 2000 volts to 0 in a matter of seconds. Still, it is better to check just in case. Btw, could you make a power supply out of a microwaver transformer? I think it would be a cool project.
Lmao, I was drinking tea when he said "On the bright side, it could help make the future generations smarter by natural selection", and I actually spat out some tea. The serious way he said it was just too funny.
can you explain and make a circuit that can capture purely Back emf sparks? and save them the voltages stationary with maybe with an condensator, or shot back into an battery?

LOL. I've woken up during two surgeries in the past. Your comment reminded me of those experiences. Not fun, but something everyone should experience at least twice...because I did.
I spent an hour having major surgery while awake, with only a local anesthetic. I thought it was fun. The surgeon called over about 8 people to have a look at my insides saying that because I had very little abdominal fat you could see my internal anatomy relatively easily and then he gave a class in identifying the course of various nerves and how to move them out of the way to avoid accidentally cutting them. Not wanting to miss an opportunity to learn something, I asked for a mirror so I could see too. Not only did the surgeon let me see the nerves but he also let me play with the Bovi electrosurgery tool that uses radio waves to cook the ends of bleeding blood vessels.
I have learned some things by watching your channel. I learned about some mistakes to avoid, and you pointed me in the right direction for making my own power supply, since I couldn't find one to buy that fits my needs. I plan to build a power supply on my channel soon, and I will probably mention the things I learned from your channel as well. I will also protect my equipment in case a wire shorts somewhere, so I don't fry what I'm working on. I'm not sure if your accidents are planned, or if your actually making mistakes by accident. Some people are convinced you do it on purpose, but I wouldn't put myself through the things that happen to you on purpose. I'm thankful I an learn from some of your mistakes. I saw a mistake you made in a video recently, that will help me avoid the same problem, so that's great, although after thinking it through more, I don't think I was planning on doing exactly the same thing, that would have lead to the same problem, but it's good to think about it anyway, and steer clear of it.
One of my favorite channels on RUclips. I like this guy a lot. If only there were more RUclips channels that are popular more like this guy. Channels like king of random or whatever don't count.
That was the first idea that popped into my head. He totally has to do it! In that case, though, I would hope he would go somewhere that already has that set up, or he's bound to end up accidentally electrocuting himself.
Thanks for this really cool pseudo-3d visualisation of the heating pattern in a microwave! I'm a high school physics teacher and I was enthusiastic about doing the experiment to estimate the speed of light using a microwave and chocolate...until I discovered that it (usually) doesn't work. In fact, out of four microwave ovens I tried, I couldn't honestly say I got anything remotely resembling a regular "standing wave" pattern in the chocolate. Then I got my hands on a thermal camera like yours, and I heated up sheets of paper (instead of chocolate) and different heights in the oven (naturally without the rotation plate) and looked at the patterns. First - as you saw yourself in the video - the patterns are not exactly regular. Mine were usually even less pretty than the one you show in this video - and they changed a lot at different heights in the oven. I got suspicious of these experiments and found a paper that agrees: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0031-9120/49/4/419. They write about the c = lambda*freq method in the case of the microwave pattern: "But this is not correct. The distribution of an electric field in a 3D cavity is rather complicated and the idea of wave resonance in a one dimensional string simply cannot be applied to this case. (...)even in this very simplified case there is no observable distance between spots that are equal to 6 cm as it is predicted from the simple one dimensional model. So this method can provide only a very rough estimation of the speed of light." And that was my experience too. In the end, it seems more like a matter of luck whether or not spots that are about 6cm apart or not (I would say I even had trouble finding a single such pair!). I did this experiment in class using the pieces of paper, kind of like you did but in 2d - but made a point of explaining that the well-liked chocolate experiment couldn't reliably work, and people simply tended to see what they wanted to see. It reminded me of the episode where Lowell thought he saw an intricate canal network on the surface of Mars through his telescope! You also seem to find spots that are around 6 cm apart, and I'm just wondering about the casual comment you dropped about "looking for the spots that are closest together". Do you feel sure about that claim? After seeing the random patterns I saw myself using a thermal camera, I suspect it's impossible to know what the hot-spot separation will be, unless an exact simulation of the freq, waveguide, oven dimensions etc. is made in advance. Thoughts?
Heavy noise is usually due to a bad diode that is connected to the high voltage capacitor. It can be fun to repair these ovens, but be sure to safely discharge the capacitor first. My stainless steel oven is now 18 years old and still looks as good as new. I have repaired it a few times, but I got the parts from someone else's oven that they had tossed out for disposal. The turntable motor stopped, but a few drops of glue fixed that problem. Thanks to simple repairs that cost basically nothing, my air conditioner is now 19 1/2 years old, my coffee maker is now 16 years old, my SAMSUNG TV is now 12 years old, my big floor fan is about 22 years old, my SHWINN 6700p Treadmill in now 23 years old, and so on, but they are all working as good as new.
Well I think the assumption was that there would not be enough water in the cardboard to be effected by the microwave, not a completely foolish assumption to make. It's very easy to after the fact act like something should be obvious but how many pieces of cardboard have you microwaved?
Yea, I'm no expert, but in my experience the ones with the wave guide shooting in from the side use a turn table for more even heat distribution... and the ones with the overhead guides use stirrers/mixers. Have seen the overhead stirrer type that also use turntables.... IMHO, side entry guides with turn tables work better. As always YMMV...
Correct, also older consumer ovens without turntables also had the stirrer. The stirrer was scrapped and turntables added a means of cost cutting. The ovens with stirrers are far superior.

And the one that almost killed him
I don’t know how I found out about you just now 😂 where were you when I needed you for my Physics Exam last year
LOL. I've woken up during two surgeries in the past. Your comment reminded me of those experiences. Not fun, but something everyone should experience at least twice...because I did.
Matthew Wilson Dont worry bud youre not alone! :D
@@jonathans.9372 Sounds like Church!
I spent an hour having major surgery while awake, with only a local anesthetic. I thought it was fun. The surgeon called over about 8 people to have a look at my insides saying that because I had very little abdominal fat you could see my internal anatomy relatively easily and then he gave a class in identifying the course of various nerves and how to move them out of the way to avoid accidentally cutting them. Not wanting to miss an opportunity to learn something, I asked for a mirror so I could see too. Not only did the surgeon let me see the nerves but he also let me play with the Bovi electrosurgery tool that uses radio waves to cook the ends of bleeding blood vessels.
@@soilmanted seem fun!
Whenever I'm doing repairs or working on something electronic I have this guy playing in the background to get me in the mood to work
2:35 So this is how the Dota 2 logo was invented!

1M subs - shave your eyebrows with a magnetron
MrMetalord or shave these eyebrows in the microwave
or shave them in general
*TRANSFORMERS*
Maggot ron
MrMetalord causing “eyebrow cancer “btw?lol
TRANSFORMERRRRRSSSSSS
What about them?
* queue 80's metal theme *
Microwave transformers Ha im so funny amirite
*DUN DUN DUN*:v
What's the name of the song
Your Channel Is like a mix of the 8 bit guy and the AVGN, it's Just PERFECTION
That thermal camera gives you a moustache!
“You need to know how microwaves work.”
*Hits the camera with the microwave door*
OUCH.
Shit
Gimme da metta wait im 4 years to late
Man I'm 6 year s to late
wtf
09:00 that secret moustache only made visible by thermal imaging is next level MOVEMBER
"It would make future generations smarter by natural selection."
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
PRICELESS XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
TheUnexpected I don't know that all the XDs were in order but try next time to just say ha that was funny and move on...
i love him !
I came to the comments for this very reason. To check how many people got the joke. 😂😂😂
what's da joke bruh?
8:19 That's true!
I have learned some things by watching your channel. I learned about some mistakes to avoid, and you pointed me in the right direction for making my own power supply, since I couldn't find one to buy that fits my needs. I plan to build a power supply on my channel soon, and I will probably mention the things I learned from your channel as well. I will also protect my equipment in case a wire shorts somewhere, so I don't fry what I'm working on. I'm not sure if your accidents are planned, or if your actually making mistakes by accident. Some people are convinced you do it on purpose, but I wouldn't put myself through the things that happen to you on purpose. I'm thankful I an learn from some of your mistakes. I saw a mistake you made in a video recently, that will help me avoid the same problem, so that's great, although after thinking it through more, I don't think I was planning on doing exactly the same thing, that would have lead to the same problem, but it's good to think about it anyway, and steer clear of it.
One of my favorite channels on RUclips. I like this guy a lot. If only there were more RUclips channels that are popular more like this guy. Channels like king of random or whatever don't count.
You can always tell he's about to zap himself when he starts speaking faster and louder 5:03
wat duh fvck are u talking abawt?you FUCKHEAD!!
Suggestion: Make a huge Tesla coil, wear a Faraday-cage-like suit and get shocked.
That was the first idea that popped into my head. He totally has to do it! In that case, though, I would hope he would go somewhere that already has that set up, or he's bound to end up accidentally electrocuting himself.
knowing him, he would probably forget the faraday cage suit xD
VelvetCake More likely he would forget to hook it up to ground
Don't wear a suit just use a normal big cage of some kind.
Thanks for this really cool pseudo-3d visualisation of the heating pattern in a microwave! I'm a high school physics teacher and I was enthusiastic about doing the experiment to estimate the speed of light using a microwave and chocolate...until I discovered that it (usually) doesn't work. In fact, out of four microwave ovens I tried, I couldn't honestly say I got anything remotely resembling a regular "standing wave" pattern in the chocolate. Then I got my hands on a thermal camera like yours, and I heated up sheets of paper (instead of chocolate) and different heights in the oven (naturally without the rotation plate) and looked at the patterns. First - as you saw yourself in the video - the patterns are not exactly regular. Mine were usually even less pretty than the one you show in this video - and they changed a lot at different heights in the oven. I got suspicious of these experiments and found a paper that agrees: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0031-9120/49/4/419. They write about the c = lambda*freq method in the case of the microwave pattern: "But this is not correct. The distribution of an electric field in a 3D cavity is rather complicated and the idea of wave resonance in a one dimensional string simply cannot be applied to this case. (...)even in this very simplified case there is no observable distance between spots that are equal to 6 cm as it is predicted from the simple one dimensional model. So this method can provide only a very rough estimation of the speed of light." And that was my experience too. In the end, it seems more like a matter of luck whether or not spots that are about 6cm apart or not (I would say I even had trouble finding a single such pair!). I did this experiment in class using the pieces of paper, kind of like you did but in 2d - but made a point of explaining that the well-liked chocolate experiment couldn't reliably work, and people simply tended to see what they wanted to see. It reminded me of the episode where Lowell thought he saw an intricate canal network on the surface of Mars through his telescope! You also seem to find spots that are around 6 cm apart, and I'm just wondering about the casual comment you dropped about "looking for the spots that are closest together". Do you feel sure about that claim? After seeing the random patterns I saw myself using a thermal camera, I suspect it's impossible to know what the hot-spot separation will be, unless an exact simulation of the freq, waveguide, oven dimensions etc. is made in advance. Thoughts?
Which school do you teach physics at? Asking for a friend who is planning to send his children there...
Heavy noise is usually due to a bad diode that is connected to the high voltage capacitor. It can be fun to repair these ovens, but be sure to safely discharge the capacitor first. My stainless steel oven is now 18 years old and still looks as good as new. I have repaired it a few times, but I got the parts from someone else's oven that they had tossed out for disposal. The turntable motor stopped, but a few drops of glue fixed that problem. Thanks to simple repairs that cost basically nothing, my air conditioner is now 19 1/2 years old, my coffee maker is now 16 years old, my SAMSUNG TV is now 12 years old, my big floor fan is about 22 years old, my SHWINN 6700p Treadmill in now 23 years old, and so on, but they are all working as good as new.
Mehdi, calculate the golden ratio, using a very long series-parallel circuit of same-valued resistors! :D
I was gonna make another video when I though...

Gets me every time...
خیلی ممنون😄😄😄 عشقی مهدی جان
tnx so much
Dj Stress ghaz ghaz
OK.... i think you would be an excellent professor, the students would listen to you and learn while having fun ... many should learn from you.
"This transformer is my new pride and joy" hahaha
The heated cardboard = mind blown.
SAHM; I know right! I actually have a masters in EE, but even I was like "no dude, you cannot use microwaves to heat dry cardbord!".
Mind = blown
MRLT wait really? a Masters in EE? surprised by a microwave heating cardboard? or how it heated the cardboard? even then..really? lol
Well I think the assumption was that there would not be enough water in the cardboard to be effected by the microwave, not a completely foolish assumption to make.
It's very easy to after the fact act like something should be obvious but how many pieces of cardboard have you microwaved?
@@mygaffer "F**KING STAPLES"
here's an idea for one milion subscribers celebration - try making something cool out of that magnetron 😀
Frane Asanovic Only cool thing he can make out of it is cancer ray. It would be cool through
Bartoloměj Vymětal it's non ionizing radiation, it would cause cancer, but it will burn you from the inside out
Let me just say, natural selection is making wonders on Mehdi. He's just smart enough for the phenomenom to help him
for 1 million subscribers do a compilation of all of your shocks you've had 😀
Why do consumer microwaves rotate the food, when commercial grade ones don't?
maybe the commercial grade ones have the mixer and don't need to rotate.
Yea, I'm no expert, but in my experience the ones with the wave guide shooting in from the side use a turn table for more even heat distribution... and the ones with the overhead guides use stirrers/mixers. Have seen the overhead stirrer type that also use turntables.... IMHO, side entry guides with turn tables work better. As always YMMV...
the microwave at my job has a mixer at the top and doesnt rotate
Correct, also older consumer ovens without turntables also had the stirrer. The stirrer was scrapped and turntables added a means of cost cutting. The ovens with stirrers are far superior.
Fewer moving parts and easier to clean. That's my guess.

I see youre a DOOM fan of culture as well
