The Device that Won WW2 – The Cavity Magnetron
It’s said that the atomic bomb ended WW2 but the Cavity Magnetron won the war. The invention of this palm-sized device gave first the British and then the Americans a microwave radar generator that was 1000 times more powerful than anything they had before and enabled small high power radar to be fitted to planes, ships, and vehicles. This transformed the war and swung it for the allies in Europe and the US in the pacific. This is the story of the Cavity Magnetron. And as always a big thank you also goes out to all our Patreons 🙂 Eριχθόνιος JL Adriaan_von_Grobbe Alex K Alipasha Sadri Andrew Gaess Andrew Smith Brian Kelly Carl Soderstrom Charles Thacker Collin Copfer Daniel Armer erik ahrsjo Florian Müller George Bishop II Glenn Dickinson inunotaisho Jesse Postier Joey Piccola John & Becki Johnston Jonathan Travers Ken Schwarz L D László Antal Lorne Diebel Mark Heslop Matti J Malkia Patrick M Brennan Paul Freed Paul Shutler Peter Engrav Robert Sanges Ryan Emmenegger SHAMIR Stefan Hufenbach Steve Ehrmann Steve J – LakeCountySpacePort tesaft Tim Alberstein Tyron Muenzer Will Lowe Credit to : Curious Droid
