After refreshing several times to avoid logging in, the gGods decided to let the video play. I never knew that this class of thing existed: https://www.amazon.com/Microwave-Professional-Fusing-Melting...
Anyway, very cool home project.
I’m trying to understand how the magnetron doesn’t burn out. I am assuming 100% efficiency for microwave absorption?
It does, eventually. For this type of project don’t use a microwave that you plan on ever using for food - or anything else - ever again.
Same! First learned of these maybe one year ago. Need a spare microwave for experiments…
