Microwave Experiments Part 1 - Teardown
Channel: lvl7hound
Date: 20/11/2012

The start of a four part series on experimenting with antennas that function inside microwave ovens.  I wanted to start out showing how to build simple monopoles, which I have done before but always had hit-or-miss success with.  This microwave did not like monopoles, but through experimentation I eventually hit upon a reliable design.  It was an interesting learning experience, and may be interesting to you too.  

This is a quick teardown of a microwave oven, to show what we are up against.

If you want to see sparks, skip to Part 4, or the end of Part 3.  I will have more impressive videos up shortly.
