What started as a simple desire for a better microwave got carried away and I ended up converting it into a 700W laser oven!

In this video I attempted to modify my microwave to cook better by upgrading the magnetron power supply. Switching from a half wave voltage doubler to the full wave circuit allowed me to double the power and then some, but I eventually ended up frying the magnetron.

I ended up gutting the original parts and added my own bank of high power blue laser diode arrays. The new oven draws about 2kW of power, and about 700W of that makes it out as laser light. I cooked a bunch of different foods with it like smores, steak, toast, and several others.

Cooking food with lasers is one of the most requested experiments I try on this channel, so this laser oven should satisfy those desires quite nicely. The effects on food are interesting to say the least. Lots of things burn under the blue light, adding a "smoky" flavor. Yummy.

    I'm really the wrong kind of Engineer it seems. I'd rather be making laser smores.

    I guarantee this guy solved nuclear fusion years ago.. he got bored... and just moved on to more challenging projects
  • @NickAndriadze
    I absolutely adore how this is 25% a laser microwave speedbuild video and 75% a ''here's what wacky food my unfathomably dangerous superlaser oven can make'' video.

    Just noticed that this is the origin of the "fuck it, macrowave" meme. Congrats on being famous!

    This is the most calmest, passive-aggressive psychopath I’ve ever watched

    i believe this guy is immortal and he literally dies a couple times each video we just dont see it

    14:01 “wow that’s quite a fragrance!” Things you never wanna hear in a lab
  • @Medick
    How does he just move so gracefully and softly while looking at the camera
  • @Mike-mm8gg
    Everytime he leaves I assume he dies but he just comes back even more buff with an even scarier invention
  • @kenthatfr
    I get the feeling the PhD program was holding him back.

    I've burnt chocolate before trying to melt it and make chocolate dipped strawberries one time. For some reason it tasted wayyy better than just normal melted chocolate, and I haven't been able to replicate it since. That char is something special on certain food groups.
  • Your sense of humor is out of this dimension! Keep it rolling, man, and try not to die!

    He's becoming more powerful than we could possibly imagine

    “Judging by the scratched out documentation and labels, I’m going to guess I’m not supposed to have these” this man is literally a mad scientist
  • @owesazzo5537
    Love how he casually drops that he has discarded government project laser technology just lying around his house
  • @SovereignSmurf
    The supervillain death lasers were one thing, but seeing him bite an onion like an apple is what convinced me he's built different
  • @FBl-gov
    where tf did you get those lasers bro
