magnetron
Radar tube type
A magnetron is a vacuum tube that generates microwaves using the interaction of electrons with a magnetic field.
The device powers microwave ovens, where it converts electricity into the radiation that heats food.
Magnetrons also serve in radar systems, where they produce the high-powered pulses needed to detect distant objects.
