Down with Microwaves, Up with Projectors
Recently, a friend of mine was interested in doing some power electronics and another friend wanted to learn more about switches/sensors. So, we broke open a microwave in order to understand a bit of both. We are looking to use a microwave oven transformer to power an induction heater coil (potentially) and looking at the switches to trigger (via N-channel fets) with sensor inputs. We'll see who gets shocked first... More to come... Also, mounted a projector on the ceiling.
