MICROWAVE OVEN
  1. Interior
    1. Electronic vaccum tube
      1. Produces short radio waves
        1. Microwaves travel through a wave guide
          1. After wave guide they go to a fan-like device that scatters the waves
            1. Fan like device is called, stirrer
              1. Waves bounce from wall to wall
                1. Eventually they enter the food
            2. Called microwaves
            3. Called magnetron
          2. Molecular Structure
            1. All foods contain a water molecule
              1. Act as tiny magnets
                1. The molecules are pulled back and forth by the magnetic field created by the microwaves
                  1. This back and forth motion occurs two and a half billion times a second
                    1. The rapid vibration causes friction between water molecules
                      1. The friction creates heat
                  2. Water molecules are dipolar
                    1. Dipolar means they have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the opposite end
                    2. Rotating microwaves create a magnetic field
