Disassemble a microwave and turn it into a weapon? - GoFuckYourself.com

Clownbarf · 02-19-2007, 01:26 PM

Think its possible? I'm not sure how many emitters there are in one of these things, but as far as what I know, a microwave beam from one of these things is around the width of a pencil and shoot straight. If you had an emitter, along with a pretty strong power source and aimed that bad boy away from you, you might actually be able to keep your hands from frying.

Put your head back in for three more minutes.

You can make an e.m.p from a modified microwave, that's the only 'weapon' i know of

i love this thread

it seems logical to me what you said.
i would have thought it to be omni directional..why would it shoot straight?

make a myth about it and have the mysthbuster couple try it

In your microwave oven, there is no coax cable to connect the magnetron to the oven cavity. Instead, there is a rectangular box made of sheet metal. This is called a waveguide. It is roughly a U shaped, enclosed channel. The magnetron mounted is at one of the box (usually on the right side of the oven), and the other end of the box has what resembles a fan inside, called a "stirrer." This object is mounted just above the plastic or fiber cover you see inside the oven. A motor turns the stirrer slowly from outside the box. As microwaves from the magnetron travel down the inside of the box, they reach the stirrer and reflect off it. This scatters the energy around the inside of the oven. If your microwave oven only cooks or warms one small area of food you put in it and the rest of the food stays cold, it's likely the stirrer motor is no longer working. (It usually takes many years for this to happen.)

Microwaves are much like light. If you shine a flashlight (or "torch" for all of you European readers) at a mirror in your bedroom, light will bounce off it at exactly the same angle it strikes the mirror. What few people realize, is that microwaves do exactly the same thing with conductive surfaces.The better the conductor, the better these waves are reflected.

The person you wanted to attack would need to be too close, for too long, for the output of a consumer microwave magnetron to have any remarkable effect. The effective power drops off exponentially as you or they move further away.

I did using the Anarchist's Cookbook. Works great.

Friend of mine did this when he was younger and took out the electrics on passing cars. Nice.

I hadn't thought about this for years, but this thread made me start thinking again about mounting front and rear emp guns in my car..

Use a minigun for slightly improved results

More to the point, microwave transformers have no shunts, so they're not current limited. This means that if you hook someone up to one, they will suck as much current as needed to make the connection, ie kill them.

That's fun :D
