HM - Magnetron Mania

2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Wendy says, "Added to the Archive. An Honorable Mention to an inventor just crazy enough to be...er, crazy. Eventually he explodes a radio playing really bad music. What a story!"


ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g91xkISmp2g

Russians disassemble microwave oven, removing 2GHz 800W magnetron and proceed to spray 2GHz RF about the countryside including standing in front of said object. We do not get to see cooked eyeballs, but we suspect this will be next. Sterilization not confirmed.
