First, I gotta try that. :) Second, if microwaves excite H20 then why the reaction with metal?

It seems like any bot safely using a magnetron would be rather large for a vex bot. Unless it's not made to move, but make you're existing microwave more awesome.

metals reflect microwave and raido waves a microwave oven produces a frequincy of 2.45GHZ the wavelegnth is between 12cm and 13cm. thats why your microwave oven at home has a perforated peice of metal in its window. becasue microwaves can't pass through it.

You realize that this will omnidirectionally broadcast high power microwaves, right?

:ahh: i hope you wear your lead apron around this thing. along with anyone else in a 50' radius.

by the way, how on earth are you going to power this? they usually take 700~1500w input. (Thats 75~125 amps at 12VDC :yikes: )

just my 2 cents, but, i think this might be a baaaad idea....

This will be interesting to watch - over the internet.

Maybe he'll just use it as ballast.

Maybe it's supposed to be puzzling, like my laser. (Maybe I'll use that on a robot...)

Newest Vex bot? Oh... My. No Tytus, I do not believe this abides by the "Mostly Vex" rule you were asking about in the 1902 Vex Competition thread. However, I do believe your robot would damage the field elements pretty well.

We're talking about Tytus here. He has a history of not good ideas and bad outcomes.

Burn
A Tad Over The Speed Limit
Waterjet 1
Waterjet 2
Waterjet 3

And there you go. Have I proven my point? There was one more where he got branded on his arm but I didn't have time to get it.

no this has nothing to do with 1902's vex competition. i know better than to beam microwaves at a bunch of kids and sterilize the future of first.

Well actually... it could be. But I don't think so. I just had this information bottled up in this empty brain of mine and was looking for a place to use it. I told one of my coworkers about his experience with the waterjet when we were looking through a magazine and saw an ad for a waterjet.

I have a lot of useless information that is just waiting to be used.

I Saw this on Engadget today, looks remarkibly similar, and really really, sounds like something Tytus would put on a Vex bot, Researchers create Microwave Drill/Deathray

Steam engine? Seems a little inefficient, if that's what you're doing, but boy it would be cool.

not even close. the microwaves are not used for heating.
