You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The microwave oven was invented in 1946 by an engineer Percy Spencer but the invention in itself was accidental involving chance, coincidence and imagination. Percy Spenser who was working in the Raytheon Corporation on a project related to radars happened to stand near a magnetron, a device that emits microwave radiations, with a bar of chocolate in his pocket and noticed after some time that it had melted. Further experiments with popcorns and eggs confirmed his suspicions that the microwave radiations emitted by the magnetron were somehow able to raise the temperature of the food placed near it and hence as a result could be used effectively for cooking purposes.
