This video - “Klystron Tube” - is a first of two videos in Stanford’s video campaign called “Hail, Stanford, Hail!". Let’s see how this attempt at viral marketing goes.

While the video holds a very scientific title it is about an object that you can probably find in every home now - a microwave.

Update: second video “FM Synthesizer” is now online.

” The klystron tube and the FM synthesizer are among Stanford’s most notable inventions. … Dailey & Associates, a West Hollywood advertising agency headed by Stanford alum Bruce Miller, collaborated with Stanford to create these commercials reflecting both the university’s capacity for innovation and its spirited irreverence. “
