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. Microwaves bounce around inside the cavity of the oven and are eventually absorbed by the food, causing molecules in the food to vibrate producing heat through friction.

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