What problems were faced in the invention of the microwave?
There is the invention of the 'microwave oven' and also the invention (or creation) of microwaves. Microwaves became useable with the invention of the cavity magnetron, which required precise machining techniques. Microwaves are dangerous to health, as they will cook living flesh in large doses and cause defects in soft tissues, in small doses. The major problem with making microwave ovens, is to make them safe. Design a door that seals properly and make interlocks, so the machine cannot emit microwaves external of the cabinet.
