Beware!
The newer units use a high frequency inverter instead of an old-fashioned steel cored transformer. They're easily distinguishable by the absolute lack of "heft" needed to lift them up. Lots of goodies in there, but probably nothing useful for your intended application.
Oh, and bypassing the safety switches to power up the magnetron when it's outside the over or the door is open is a great way to go blind/cook yourself/die. Most ovens are wired so that if the door is open, the cover is off, or you've not jimmied ALL the interlocks, it short-circuits the input and blows the fuse.

I think it's just a for-fun project. Judging by his other projects (jet powered bikes, for example) he's a creative person with a large stash of high-tech junk and a rich imagination :)
Maybe he's trying to contact ET ?

And there are two versions of it too.
But he is not in the same league as "Arc Starter" was.
