[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 ...

Researchers at Lab are investigating how magnetrons, typically used in microwave ovens, can improve particle accelerators' ...

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 ...

This project aims to develop compact and cost-effective high-power magnetrons suitable for plasma heating in nuclear fusion facilities, utilising a novel magnetron design with extended interaction ...
