I've worked in the field of tesla coils and RF for some time now. It appears that the magnetron wastes a lot of its energy in producing an RF output. For those of you not so inclined, a magnetron is a vacuum vessel with resonant cavities which is surrounded by a magnetic field. A high voltage DC pulse is put through the magnetron, and the electrons spiral or travel in a curved path outward from the filament by virtue of the fact that they are travelling through the magnetic field. This produces a photonic output from the electrons because of their path changing; as I will cite now:
Bremsstrahlung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The output from the electrons is relatively small, comparatively, but combine this with resonant cavities, and the effect is very great.
Anyways, the electrons appear to be modulating and releasing energy from the magnetic field that they are travelling through- they must take on energy from the field to change direction, and at the same time they give off energy because their equilibrium has been disturbed. It does not appear that the energy is derived from the kinetic energy of the electrons, at least to me.
I wonder if one could engineer, with the principles of the bedini motor system or perhaps some kind of solid state oscillator or something- a way that would recapture the energy that would be wasted in the operation of the magnetron.
Basically, the circuit is like a capacitor discharging through a diode. The magnetron acts as a diode of sorts, but you discharge a high voltage DC- say 15 to 25kV DC (or, to be simpler, say 4kV for a microwave oven) through this vessel, which basically kills the dipole you've created, or shorts the transformer for that moment (as in a microwave)
How would you go about recapturing the energy in the input side? Because once you do that, you could in theory recapture the output with really fast diodes; gallium arsenide or something, and a recieving array.
This would be a good way to get a system working that might power something a battery could not like say a home
I could be wrong about all of this, but what do you all think?
