[Anonymous]

Hallo my follow Inventor. Im making My own microway to dry big lumb of wood. Im using 3 Microway in total. I have 5 plate of metal thats design in 5 square boks 13 cm*150 cm.
Im using magnetron, capisator, transformere and diode its all connectet to a 5 wire 230 volt. Fase 1,2 and 3. Zero and ground. I have try everything but nothing seems to work. I have checked the diagram, testet magnetron, capisator and transformer. Look if All the wires Are fit together but it wont heat anything. And everything is running and the magnetron Are getting hot over time.

PS i have try to take neon tube in it wont light.

Thanks for ur time

This is a forum for people who use a piece of software from Autodesk called "Inventor".. This is not a site dedicated to Inventors even though many of us may be Engineers,etc...

I personally would suggest you find a better way to dry wood as you can get seriously hurt trying to hack together a microwave if you do not know what you are doing..

Good luck.. Hopefully you haven't fried your brain already..

Im very Happy for your concern, i know what i'm doing. I have prepared my self with safety first. Every microwave are containt in a metal box. Transformers, capisator and magnetron are isoletate in plastik so i wont get 2100 volt trough my body and im also only working on it with power OFF.

Hello @Anonymous I see that you are visiting as a new member to the Inventor Forum.
Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

Do you have a computer that is running the Inventor software or are you just trying to get advice for your lumber microwave?

I'm guessing the latter, do you have pictures of this Frankenstein to help people visualize what you are trying to do?

Not sure what your exact question is or if this is the place that you're going to find the best answer.

The more information you provide maybe someone will take an interest and share some knowledge about daisy chaining microwaves.

I can speak for the rest of the users when I say I want you to be safe, but you've piqued my curiosity on what you're trying to do.
