The microwave oven
is another form of electromagnetic radiation.
The "radar range", as it was first called, was
invented by a Raytheon engineer doing radar
related research in 1946. He was testing a
new vacuum tube called a magnetron when he
discovered the candy bar in his pocket had
melted. His curiosity led to experiments
with popcorn kernels and an egg with surprising
results. In 1947 the first commercial microwave
was manufactured standing 5.5' tall, weighing
750 lbs, and costing $5000. Good thing
they came down in size and price! For more
