Gyrotron

A gyrotron is a type of vacuum tube that generates high-frequency electromagnetic waves, particularly in the microwave range. It operates by using a stream of electrons accelerated through a magnetic field, causing them to spiral and emit energy. Gyrotrons are commonly used in various applications, such as advanced research in plasma physics, materials processing, and even in some medical therapies. Their ability to produce powerful microwave radiation makes them valuable tools in scientific and industrial settings, providing precise energy delivery for various technical purposes.
