[Curious Droid] is back with a history lesson on one of the most important inventions of the 20th century: The cavity magnetron. Forged in the fighting of World War II, the cavity magnetron was ...

The cavity magnetron is a power RF oscillator device in which electrons are induced to move in a circular path through a tuned cavity, inducing a high-power RF field, and it lies at the heart of a ...

A pocket-size gizmo that puts the "pop" in microwave popcorn could soon fuel particle accelerators of the future. The small but mighty device is a magnetron—a mashup of the words "magnetic" and ...

Original cavity magnetron as used to develop radar. Mrjohncummings, CC BY-SA At the heart of radar technology is the “magnetron,” the device that produces the radio waves. During World War II ...

But the greatest treasure of all was the prototype of a piece of hardware called a cavity magnetron, which had been invented a few months earlier by two scientists in Birmingham. John Randall and ...

Invented during the height of the Battle of the Atlantic, the cavity magnetron resembles the vacuum tubes used in old televisions, but with a twist. Magnetrons cause electric charges to oscillate ...

A picture of the chaotic magnetron spectra that will be used on this system is ... observed spacetime contractions are being developed in a TM010 RF resonant cavity that is driving ac E-field levels ...

It is the cavity magnetron, developed during WWII for radar. It is big, heavy, and inefficient. The transformer that steps up the voltage from the wall outlet to the Magnetron's operating ...
