HERF Gun out of Old Microwave

If you have an old microwave around you could setup your own gun with this tutorial. But of course you will need some technical skills and knowledge, just to avoid any untoward incidence.

This was built by using parts from an old microwave oven. The electromagnetic gun works just like a normal microwave with a high energy source triggering a magnetron which produces microwave radiation at 2.45GHz. The targeting part is a waveguide made out of metal which directs the microwaves in one direction instead of letting them scatter.

The electromagnetic current is usually drawn from a battery and controlled with capacitors.

The whole process deals with high voltage and microwave radiation.
