Mad_Furby Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Would it be possible to use a magnetron inplace of a primary in an induction system for wireless power transfer? I’minterested in microwave frequency resonance and i think this may be a good way of starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMcC Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Not sure what you are after but a magnetron is a fixed frequency oscillator. It can be pulsed on and off but you can't modulate its frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyMcC Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I think it is theoretically possible. However, at the frequencies involved the power loss becomes enormous over relatively short distances. Also the radiation emitted will be a health risk to anyone near the transmitter. Overall it is probably not a good idea (IMO). There is a good reason why the window of a microwave oven has some sort of mesh over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
