The magnetron emitted microwaves into the metal box blocking any escape and allowing for ...
A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to rotate and produce thermal energy (heat) in a process known as dielectric heating .
Yes, the microwave oven was invented accidentally, when a test for a magnetron melted an engineer’s snack in 1946.. Raytheon engineer Perry Spencer “knack for finding simple solutions to ...
Raytheon patented the dielectric heating device, naming it the Radarange, and in 1947 the first commercially available microwave oven hit the market. What started as an 800-pound device priced ...
