Be careful if you take one apart, take a screwdriver and short across the capacitors. One of my co-workers was working on a microwave and got a shock from one of the capacitors. he was standing up at the time, the force threw him backwards and up agaisnt the wall of our shop. He was stunned but otherwise not hurt, it scared the heck out of me.
That was satan doing the throwing work
He lived? I thought you would be killed
Just what I was looking for. Thank you for the upload. :)
You most definitely did not waste my time. It is great to see what is salvageable from behind the Elkjop. Those micro switches and the cap are worth it!
By the way, are you in Norway?
Awesome video! I only saved and reused the round turnnable glass plate from my last broken microwave.This video help a lot.
Just completed tearing a microwave down too, electronics were different, but same basic parts except instead of having mechanical device it was digital.
Saved me quite sometime :) thanks
Thanks to this channel to inform all
I'm not aware of any asbestos. But yeah, beryllium oxide (BeO) acts a bit like asbestos, it's just many times worse as far as I know :)
I Don't have anything that is broken at the moment, sorry ;)
But I am working on a current limit for the power supply I build, and I will do a tutorial when it's done :)
Yeah I will.. Thanks.. Hehe
wow, i've been in the hospital 4 different times in the last 3 years, for 10-12 weeks each time. The doctors keep telling me I have pneumonia, but they can't understand why i keep getting it. I think it's probably berrilium poisoning or whatever after watching this video. i used to take microwaves apart and microwave the magnetrons in good microwaves, put cans around them to direct the microwaves, then when i was done with them i would smash the vacuums/magnetrons with hammers; i never knew about this berrileyitis thing. fuck, i wish somebody would have stoped me. i have to run this by my doc next week.
+Keen Arlond Sorry to hear that, I hope they figure out what it is.. :(
+Keen Arlond Any updates?
Daniel Dyck not yet, MRI on the 8th, then i have to wait for a dr's appt so they can tell me the results
+HVinduction 'If you don't have anything nice to say , don't say anything at all'
+HVinduction Well if it's established he's stupid, does it do any good telling him? Only makes him feel bad.
good job and good safety precaution,thanks.
ismael abed Thank you !
If you can't find a purpose for the complete timer unit, you can disassemble it and find another synchronous motor.
2100 Working Volts AC, not Watts. (Good teardown. Thanks.)
+fauxscot1 Thank you..
sar Mai bahut paresan hun a c ke section line me
Sar mein bahut Pareshan Hoon AC ke section line mein Ayesh aa rahi haiaa rahi hai
You're very touchy feely on those cap leads...
Very interesting video and, good safety tips. - Thanks for your time taking and sharing this info. Cheers from Australia, Rolf.
thisissoeasy Thank you!
Hey there! You seem like a rather clever fellow but I assure you there are many who are not as clever as you. The blurb you had on that HV capacitor was a little short (no pun intended) imho. Those caps can blow off your hand with the amount of energy stored in them; dangerous is an absolute understatement, utterly lethal is the truth. These devices should be disassembled wearing a surgical mask, some rubber gloves and some good rubber on your feat, athletic shoes should suffice. $10 of equipment can easily save you from serious and potentially fatal injury.
Get that magnetron working and irradiate some stuff!
the only danger is those caps, I always short them, one time my partner got a shock off one, it threw him back up agaisnt the wall of our shop. it really scard me, he was stunned but not hurt. but you're right those caps are very dangerous.
Really helpful thank you for sharing!
I'm gonna replace the bell with a cow bell
Walker799 hahahaha
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Very good explanation.thank you robotics
Very nice video, loved it, thanks for posting 👍👍😔
stands for 2100 working volts
Thanks..
Glad you mentioned that, could have been years before I would have noticed. Hehe
Thumbs up for DK ;)
WARNING THIS IS DANGEROUS however to discharge a cap use a screw driver with a good insulating handle, attach a high value resistor many K ohms and rated for lots of current as well near the end with its leads bent in a U shape on ly one lead should touch the screwdruve though preferably neither of them do ... use this arangement to short the cap with the resistor, WARNING THIS IS STILL DANGEROUS
Excellent - thanks
Look inside the capacitor ;-) you will be pleased, but don't forget to drain the oil first
you can make a spot welder or a simple welder with that transformer. check on instructables and you'll find more projects :D
Hey, thanks for the warning :)
I am aware of that, but you got me thinking...
Perhaps others could think of smashing it with the hammer :/ I'll put an annotation in the video !
How did you discharge the high voltage thing.
Good vid, thanks for posting.
robviolin1 You are welcome :)
I think that's 2100 working voltage AC and not 'Watts'.
2100 voltage is it make by secondary side of transformer ?
yes
Thank you. Very good review/teardown. I wonder how to adjust output power?
Thanks!
Hi it would be nice to have a little sound when your taking it apart, or a commentary
good video
I have a question can you die from a magna tron even if the microwave has been open I was trying to open it and I was watching a video but I want the transformer I just dont know what to do on that. I to neverious to try it for the spot welder
when was this microwave nanufactured?
Other than a microwave what can you use a magnetron for?
Jerry Thompson Not much I think :P
EcProjects Pull it apart - the magnets are quite strong, and make interesting fridge magnets. You get two of them in each magnetron. Do not attempt to fire the magnetron outside of the oven - its quite dangerous.
The Magnets (there are two in each Magnetron and always the same) are very strong and very useful for lot of 'toys'
The Magnetron is a Valve, it produces Mircrowaves at 2.4Ghz its actually a Silent Weapon for a Quite War and is very dangerous when operated or taken apart. It works on same frequency range as Wifi and is designed to Fuck you up Wholesale, don't take chances messing with that shit. Leave it to people who know what they are doing, for example Licensed Amateur Radio Technicians, Electronics Engineers or like minded people who are aware of Radio Frequency and high voltages. There is all so a lot of very sharp edges in those enclosures.
Modern microwaves do not contain high voltage capacitor or bulky transformers
The bulky transformer will more than likely exist in all microwave ovens as it's required to step the voltage up from 240 volts up to over 2,000 volts
5:50 You say there is a lower voltage winding on the for the heater on the cathode. But the Magnetron only has two contacts, is there something I am missing here or would hot cathode require more contacts for the heater and that's a cold cathode?
The filliment winding is connected to the high voltage at 4000 volts (after the voltage doubler formed by the diode and cap). So, you have 4000 volts, and also 4003 volts. These two voltages connect to the magnetron filliment. The filliment is at a very high voltage relative to ground, but there is a small voltage *across* the filliment. This means it is at a high voltage while still being heated by the small voltage difference across it.
hi
can help me??
I have persintation about microwave oven parts
what thir jobs and thir location in microwave oven ??
is there some kind of asbestos material? same effect than BO
Aaaand... *ding We have a bell [me gusta face]
thx 4 the info
+Andre' Colter No problem !
Yup :) It can be used for a lot of things :D :D Hehe.
Many thanks...want to dismantle a microwave safely to harvest the slow revolution motor from it. How did you make the capicator safe ?
Short it with a large screw drives across both terminals; CAREFUL!!! A loud "pop" will occur. Use thick rubber gloves (and shoes, preferably with a rubber mat to stand on) and a well-insulated large screw driver.
What is the purpose of the pcd with all the components the thing that is directly connected to mains voltage
You mean P.C.B.(PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD)
@@stephensnell1379 I mean the small PCB with the fuse small coil caps and several other components components the first one directly after mains voltage before the transformer
You sound like Dr Lector lol
Hi, I came up with the idea of adding an extra cooling fan to help cool down over heated food. Is this possible and how would you do this. I want a single button to press for the cooling.
Either adds another fan in series with the current fan (no on-off button required), or add a fan with a separate on-off button, powered from the mains. (for AC fan with similar mains voltage)
I took the fan out of my microwave going to use it with my forge but the fan runs counter clock wise so now what can I do
Jerry Thompson Reverse the armature. Remove the output shaft, motor and then flip the armature over. Not all shaded pole motors allow this but if both sides line up the same it should work.
I have a sharp Caruso number to microwave oven the top plate of the microwave has a hole in it how do I repair it
microwave run without anything into it
thanks!
krsko you're welcome !!
Hehe :) Yeah, lots of interesting stuff inside things, so why not have a look before we toss it out :D :D Hehe
Nope, but close.. I'm from Denmark
I am a little confused. So which part is the main MW generator, is it the 5 RPM motor?
The magnetron provides the MW; the 5 rpm motor turns the rotating plate.
lol it is always ac out of a transformer. and it is not watts it is 2000v ac at 50hz transformer change the voltage not the frequency .
Do let about the bug Sapper!
What type of fan motor is this? I have one like that, but do not know what is it called.
9:08 brushless AC exhaust/cooling fan motor 110/22v
You're welcome :)
I am 11 years old and I fix eletronics and build things and I am going to make head phones I have all the steps if you see a comical of headphones called max bass that's my headphones and now I am trying to make a microwave from scratch I have made the frame and I need a vid of the parts of a microwave so I can build a mini microwave and I know safety it's my number one thing so please make a vid of that please
I would highly advise against making a microwave. Setting all safety issues with high voltage and other lethal hazards aside, attempting to make a microwave from scratch and heat up food like regular microwave is extremely difficult. One of my close friends who specialized in Microwaves (electrical engineer) was talking about how if it doesn't perfectly resonate (probably not the right word) with water, it won't heat up the water (it's the water in the food which gets heated). The frequency range that you must hit is actually quite small and would be difficult to achieve without the correct equipment.
Where the headphone video
Are the transformers interchangeable between makes?
Yes, but ensure they are at least equal to the wattage of the previous transformer.
So. What's your point ? Why show what's inside unless your gonna show what can be made with
curiosity. most of the people here are because of curiosity
Please give me the ac fan
My micro again and again fuse short
Thats Triac
Im going to start collecting microwaves and steal motors.U don't know about the high Voltage capacitor I don't need I have dc power supply QW-MS305D 0 to 30v You can use it to make a speed controller I can switch ac to run it to dc.I love to takes things apart too its fun.PC i keep the fans,VCR I keep the dc motors,someVCR has cooling fans Printers also printers has cooling fans and I'm gonna start collecting washing machine motors and have a bunh SUBSCRIBING YOU RIGHT NOW 😊
good vid but your voice needs more clarity, louder, accent is heavy, couldn't understand some words
His voice is just fine; perhaps the trouble is in your own ears?!
Yeah, I think I heard a cute Danish accent.
Please bro this video make hindi Language
i like u gyansingh kushawah
so nise
