How Microwaves Work
by Guest on Feb 27, 2010
Created by a magnetron electron tube, microwaves heat food to a depth of one inch. As the heat is conducted inward the rest of the food is cooked.

With a fridge, the cold air is contained in an insulated box; air conditioners blow the cool air out into your room. Continue reading →
