The microwave oven
Percy Spencer invented the microwave in 1945
Percy Spencer was in his 40s when he invented the microwave oven in 1945. He was born on July 9, 1894, and invented the microwave while working for Raytheon.
the microwave oven was invented in 1945 by Percy Spencer.
in 1945 .
One of the scientific breakthroughs of the 1940s was the invention of the mcrowave oven invented by Percy Spencer in 1945.
Dr. Percy Spencer invented the microwave in 1945. He noticed that a candy bar in his pocket had melted after standing in front of a magnetron, leading to the development of the microwave oven.
Percy Spencer, an engineer for Raytheon, invented the microwave oven in the early 40s. Raytheon patented it in 1945 and began marketing the Radarange in 1947. The Radarange was six feet tall, weighed 750 pounds, and cost $5,000 ... and didn't sell particularly well.
The microwave oven was invented by Percy Spencer, an American engineer working for Raytheon Corporation, in 1945. While experimenting with radar equipment, he discovered that microwave radiation had the ability to cook food quickly. This led to the development of the first microwave oven for commercial use.
The first microwave oven was built in 1945, as a proof of concept, by Percy Spencer.
In the spring of 1946, Percy Spencer and an associate, P.R. Hanson (Roly Hanson), commenced the development of utilising a magnetron by trapping its microwaves in a metal box causing it to heat food rapidly.
Well he discovered microwaves in 1945 so he was probably born in 1930
Who invented the microwave? Huh? That's like asking who invented water or sunshine. Microwaves are radio waves with wavelengths that range from about one meter to as short as one millimeter, with frequencies between from 300 MHz to 300 GHz. If you're asking who invented the microwave oven, it was Dr Perry Spencer, after accidentally discovering that microwaves can heat food. In 1945 he was an engineer working for Raytheon, working on a radar set that used high power microwaves, and noticed the Mr Goodbar in his pocket started to melt. The first food to be purposely cooked by microwaves was popcorn, and later on an egg, which exploded in the face of someone helping him. He later fed microwaves from a magnetron into into a metal box and saw that it heated food rapidly. Raytheon filed a patent for the microwave cooking process on October 8, 1945.
