The Magnetron is very dangerous! You can get X-rays under some
circumstances. Hi Tension Electricity + Black Body Cavity Radiators are
a nasty combo. Microwave exposure can (obviously) cause significant
damage, but it's the side effects I'm more concerned about. Not just EM,
but electrons zapping about at significant speeds causing radiation
burns. Bad News. Do Not Try This At Home.

The railgun OTOH looks relatively safe and easy to build.
