What Can I Build Using Salvaged Parts From a 1.55kW Microwave Oven?

The discussion centers on repurposing components from a 1.55 kW microwave oven, particularly focusing on the magnetron, transformer, and strong magnets found inside. The magnetron can generate high-power RF energy, which poses significant safety risks including high voltage shock and microwave radiation exposure, thus requiring careful handling and expertise. The transformer is suitable for high voltage projects, and the magnets can be used for generator construction or as strong magnetic toys. Participants emphasize the importance of safety and knowledge when working with microwave components due to the dangers of high voltage and microwave emissions. Additional comments touch on related electronics topics such as RF amplifiers and motor controls, but the core advice remains centered on cautious reuse of microwave oven parts for high voltage or RF applications.
