Yeah I knew a guy who died building the burner with microwave parts. Not worth losing your life

A 23 year old young man in my town died 3 days ago doing this. And he was a certified electrician.

⚠️PLEASE READ THIS⚠️ Great piece of furniture! Also, this shows you that electricity DOES NOT take the path of least resistance, as many people believe. It takes ALL the available paths, all at once, as you can see from the fractal burn pattern. Otherwise, we would just have one thick burn mark along the path of least resistance. According to Ohm's law, I = V/R (current = voltage over resistance). This means that the current passing through a certain path is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of said path. This, however, doesn't mean that current doesn't flow through the path. It just means that there will be less current flowing through a more resistant path. If current really took only the path of least resistance, you wouldn't be able to turn on more than one light in your home. Now, let's say the more resistant path is your body, and the less resistant path is the workpiece. If you touch the workpiece or even get close, an amount of current WILL flow through your body and may be enough to shock you. So, be very careful: 1. WEAR INSULATING GLOVES AND SHOES 2. DON'T GET NEAR THE ELECTRODES OR THE WORKPIECE WHILE CURRENT IS ON 3. DO THIS OUTSIDE IN CASE OF FIRE 4. DON'T LET ANYONE (PETS, KIDS...) NEAR THE WORKPIECE 5. DON'T DO THIS IN A HUMID ENVIRONMENT, AS AIR WILL BE MORE CONDUCTIVE If this is your first time working with electricity, please think twice about taking on this project. Current is inherently dangerous and doesn't behave intuitively like water. Danger shouldn't stop you from achieving your goals, but rather get you thinking about how to do it properly.

A 23 year old electrician just died locally doing it. For what? It looks like crap! It is a pretty stupid way to die, especially at 23. And for what? Some dumb piece of wood? You should really do a cost/benefit analysis before doing something like this. You are so much better off doing nothing! I feel bad that there are people misguided ​enough to spend any of their life doing this. Poverty and lack of education really does kill. Meanwhile, minorities who are not as smart as the white guys doing this, are in programs at Universities that change their lives and they have to pay for almost none of it. White guys whose ancestors fought in American wars, and Universities like Yale pay no property taxes and populate their student bodies with foreigners and minorities that often hate America. This kind of crap is not going to make you any real money. You are just risking your life for nothing. All that equipment made other people rich.@@tomhoefs7221

Should always remind people just how really dangerous this practice is. The power of the electricity used is equivalent to an electric chair, one mistake and you'll most likely die. The electricity will run through and burn up your nerves and muscle, a really painful way to go. And even if you somehow survive the shock you still run the risk of dying from your injuries. When muscle gets damaged from electricity your body releases enzymes that break it down. The damaged part of your body is pretty much decomposing. You'll be lucky if all you need is amputation. All in all, this practice should never be taken lightly

Need to put a disclaimer on how dangerous this is at the beginning. Some idiot might fry themselves trying your get rich quick scheme. Don't want that blood on your hands brother.

What is the breakdown resistance of the insulation on the cables you are using? If those are jumper cables for car batteries I seriously doubt it is the 2kV to 4kV being put out by your MW transformer. And I doubt those gloves are even sufficient at those voltages. What are they rated at? And do you test your gloves for pinhole leaks every time before you use them by rolling them up to see if they will retain air at least? A pinhole in your insulation can get you killed. And as for the E-Stop on the case - nice decoration. But if there is no one there to hit it when your muscles are frozen from shock you are dead. You think you are safe. You are not. Military experience in electronics. Postal Service experience with high voltage and current. BSEET, University of Massachusetts.
