History of the microwave

Did you know that the microwave oven was created by mistake?

As a matter of fact, this revolutionary tool was brought to life unintentionally. The man behind the microwave is known by the name of Percy Spencer. Soon after the death of his father, his mother abandoned him at an early age. He started working at a spool mill at he age of twelve and was interested in everything related to electricity. His curiosity lead him to be hired, along with two other people, to install the electricity in the plant. After that, he started working with the US navy and became an important pillar in this domain. He learned on his own calculus, physics, wireless communication and other important subjects. One day, Spencer noticed that the candy bar he had in his pocket melted while he was working with radar. This phenomenon caught his interest. He tried to put popcorn in contact with radar and this is how he created the first microwaved popcorn and later on the first microwave oven!
