Scavenging Microwave Ovens
One man’s trash, that’s another man’s come up.
It’s my lucky day because my neighbor is throwing away a microwave! One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and with all the parts I can harvest off this abandoned appliance, I feel like I just won the lottery!

WARNING:
This project is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, of tools or projects may result in severe electric shock, serious injury, death, and/or permanent damage to equipment and property. The pink high voltage insulator on the magnetron is made with beryllium oxide, and is a hazardous material. Regular inhalation of the dust can lead to lung diseases similar to those caused by asbestos. Do not break it. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:
I’m super excited about these salvaged parts, because there are a ton of dangerous projects I can use these for. Like unballasted high voltage electrical arcing, or instantly fatal traveling arcs. How about improvised spot welding, or dangerously exciting metal melting, and even makeshift AC stick welders? I feel like I made out like a bandit on this project, and these salvaged components will lay the foundation for many projects to come.
Yo I have that screwdriver (we got it in 2012)
Like this is why the king of random was great, all this cool stuff that anyone could do, not just playing with candy.
Rest in peace we will miss you im glad i watched you most of my life …
I missed RandomWeekendProject… :[
so i got a transformer
Rip
Rip
I already miss this guy
that purple thing on the megnatron contains Beryllium which is HIGHLY toxic. so dont break it and inhale the dust.
Bravo et merci
This is the most FUN techie Video I’ve seen on Microwave dismantling ! Loved and Subbed with Gratitude ✌️
01:18 impressive general rule of thumb. I wish I too had such neighbors.
But the magnetron is actually not dangerous when powered off
RIP buddy. You will be missed by all your subscribers
scavaging tshcernobyl for old reactor cores
The berillyum in the magnetron is only dangerous if crushed and inhaled
legends gone too soon
NICE
Rip. You will be missed
Rip you will be missed
This was one of my favorite videos… 😢😢
where is the video for making the transformers for the electric arc furnace?
i remember as a kid i wanted to send him a fan mail but didnt know where he lived so today i decided to do it in 2019 but then i realised . . . he died i cried for like 40 minutes straight
the person who started it all ):
Man it wasnt your time 😔 you made everyones child hood may you rest in peace for ever. You were and still are the best.
This is amazing its way different than the newer video
Rip
RIP, long live the king.
r.i.p
Love u
I just love how he yoinked the microwave from the trash
at first i thought he was fixing the microwaves
It’s still hard to think we’ll never see or hear him ever again
Hello! My friend’s parents has a microwave oven that is broken. When you insert the food, it very slowly heats up. Is this the problem of the magnetron? I want to salvage some parts but I don’t want broken parts.
I see all these rip comments and I agree. He can rest…he made a legendary mark on this world and now he can do better hacks in the heavens and wowing the angels. Guys life is precious. If you read this…go live your life the best way you can
the turn motor could be used for a clay turning table.
i realised that microwaves use radiation too so i think i have an idea
Wait how does the intro show videos that haven’t even been recorded or realease
R.I.P you will be missed in our hearts
Why is there a microwave in the trash
R.I.P
:(:(:(:(
this was my first video i watched. i was 8 years old and fascinated by him. it’s been a year since he left this Earth and i still can’t believe it. we miss you grant. fly high 🙂
Rip
you will be missed
Rip man this dude made my child hood
So one electric shock can be fatal?
Extreme danger don’t use this advice…
The magnetron and how you took it apart with that pink ring going around it if you shatter it it releases a toxic poison and radiation
Awesome, so many people in his videos comment section are “ R.I.P you will be missed” The second they get the news that he’s dead they just go to his earliest videos and comments for likes. Pathetic.
