  2. Percy Spencer - Wikipedia

    The result was the egg exploding in the face of one of his co-workers, who was looking in the kettle to observe. Spencer then created the first true microwave oven by attaching a high-density electromagnetic field generator to an enclosed metal box. The magnetron emitted microwaves into the metal box blocking any escape and allowing for ...

    In 1947, just a year after Spencer’s snack food serendipity, the first commercial microwave oven hit the market. Called the “Radarange,” it weighed nearly 750 pounds and cost more than $2,000 .

  4. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

    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 vibrate [2] and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating. Microwave ovens heat foods quickly and efficiently ...

  5. Cavity magnetron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavity_magnetron

    A cavity magnetron generates microwaves using the interaction of a stream of electrons with a magnetic field, while moving past a series of cavity resonators, which are small, open cavities in a metal block. Electrons pass by the cavities and cause microwaves to oscillate within, similar to the functioning of a whistle producing a tone when ...

  7. Susceptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susceptor

    A susceptor is a material used for its ability to absorb electromagnetic energy and convert it to heat (which in some cases is re-emitted as infrared thermal radiation). The electromagnetic energy is typically radiofrequency or microwave radiation used in industrial heating processes. In the consumer world, many microwave cooking tools as well ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Percy_Spencer

    The microwave oven was invented as an accidental by-product of war-time (World War 2) radar research using magnetrons (vacuum tubes that produce microwave radiation, a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength between 1 mm and 30 cm). In 1946, the engineer Dr. Percy LeBaron Spencer, who worked for the Raytheon Corporation, was ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Microwave_oven/Archive_2

    A few seconds of research shows that Percy Spencer was an uneducated tech at Raytheon whose problem-solving skills won Raytheon the WWII contract to build the first military radar tubes, got Spencer the job as department head, and later led to Spencer's inventing of the microwave oven.
