Magnetron - How does it work

World War 2 was one of the most traumatic events in the history of the world, but on the other hand it also resulted in several inventions that have completely changed the world. One of the key inventions of this era was the cavity magnetron, which made radars super-efficient. Cavity magnetrons are also used in microwave ovens, where they are responsible for producing high powered microwaves. In this video we will explore the physics behind the cavity magnetron.
