Claims20
A microwave energy tool comprising:
- a sheet beam klystron comprising:
- a tube body for carrying an electron sheet beam, the tube body comprising a plurality of cavities;
- and
- a magnetic solenoid comprising conductive wiring wound directly on the tube body, wherein the magnetic solenoid produces a magnetic field that is at least 5 times greater than a Brillouin field for the electron sheet beam such that the magnetic field produced by the magnetic solenoid confines the electron beam sheet in the drift tube.

A method of extracting hydrocarbons from the Earth comprising:
- inserting a microware tool that produces an electron beam into a bore hole in the Earth;
- applying DC power to the microware tool;
- and
- producing a magnetic field that is at least five times stronger than a Brillouin field of the electron beam with a magnetic solenoid wound directly on a tube body of the microware tool such that the magnetic field produced by the magnetic solenoid confines the electron beam sheet in a drift tube of the microwave tool;
- and
- wherein the microwave tool comprises at least one cavity.
