In 1946, Dr. Percy Spencer was quite intrigued when a microwave, a vacuum tube again, when suddenly the chocolate bar melted in his pocket were tested. What surprised him so he thought he would try another experiment with popcorn kernels. He put the nuts in the microwave and to his surprise, she began to appear.
It was the day that Spencer, an egg placed next to the microwave. If he began to shake the egg, because the pressure in the bud by temperature increases rapidly. As Mr Spencer has decided to develop an understanding of the shake to get the eggs, the egg exploded and he was flooded with its content. This Spencer led to the conclusion that low power microwave causes the density of fast food cook. That’s where experience took him a whole new level.
In other words, if Spencer has a metal body and cut a hole he can work the microwave energy. Once the energy was in the box, she was unable to escape, so it creates an electromagnetic field at high density. This led to a temperature of something to eat in the rapidly growing area. What was the way in how food was prepared and the basis of what would be a revolution in the microwave.
The first
However, the microwave does not resemble what we use today. In fact, she weighed about 750 pounds and is nearly 6 feet tall. This was the end of 1946, when the patent was filed by Raytheon. A Boston restaurant was available for testing these large waves and it was in 1947 that the commercial version of the microwave its debut on the market, but it costs about $ 5,000 each. Why so expensive? Well, the medical units are also installed because the microwave was cooled with water.
Not everyone saw this new invention in a favorable manner. It was a complex device, but may change with the hearing of microwave. Smaller units and microwave in one position, air cooled, if the plumber has been eradicated.
Finally, the microwave for more than cooking. Many companies, he used to dry cork, paper and even leather. Then, in 1947, Raytheon introduced the Radarange. The price was now between $ 2,000 and $ 3,000 and the cabinets that housed the microwaves were about as big as a refrigerator. Between 1952 and 1955, meets the first house with $ 1295 price was introduced by Tappan. In 1965 Raytheon acquired Amana, and in 1967 introduced the first counter when she models.
Progression
In 1975, the microwave had made significant progress and has even surpassed the sales pan. It is the main element of any kitchen. Until 1976, the microwave was only the owner of the dishwasher. Was not the microwave as a luxury but a necessity.
Now we see that the microwaves in many shapes, sizes, colors, and it is difficult for someone who can not find using a microwave. And moving with the changing times, the microwave is still facing. With different settings, ranging from popcorn to defrost diving pressure on the pressure of a button, it is not surprising that most of our dishes are prepared in the microwave. It’s fast, easy and it saves a considerable amount of energy.
