10. Magnetron
    In electronics, a magnetron is a two-eklectrode valve in which the flow of electrons from a large central cathode to a cylindrical-shaped anode is controlled by crossed electrical and magnetic fields. The electrons gyrate in the axial magnetic field, their energy being collected in a series of slot resonators in the face of the anode.
