Gyrotron Beam Frequently Asked Questions
Below are frequently asked questions about the Gyrotron Microwave Beam.
Beam Properties
What are the Gyrotron beam properties?
The Gyrotron Beam is a new concentrated source of energy. Its high frequency and high energy concentration combined with the microwave nature of this novel source results in unique properties, different from any other known source of energy:
- Ultra-rapid volumetric heating of non-metallic materials from 10 micron to 30 cm (.0004" to 12") Faster than heat conduction and oxidation processes
- Ultra-rapid selective heating Target region inside an exposed material can be heated differentially from surrounding regions
The Gyrotron Beam is the single most efficient heat source for the processing of any kind of Polymer based materials, Organics, Ceramics, Semiconductors, Glass, Wood, and other non-metallic materials.

What is the Gyrotron Beam?
The first and only high-frequency microwave in the form of a beam.
More powerful and versatile than common process heaters, it has:
- High heat flux – up to 15 kW per sq. cm
- Rapid Heating at normal and low pressure : up to 10,000 C/second
- Selective/Exclusive Heating of target region or layer inside or on surfaces without significant heating of other layers
The ability to take any form – circular with Ø from 3mm (0.12"), strip with length up to 2m (6'), square and ellipse up to 60 sq ft:the beam can also be split to support two production lines or heat two sides of a product being processed simultaneously. The video clips illustrate these capabilities.
