How a Microwave Oven Works

(YouTube link)

Would you like to learn how a microwave oven works? Did you even know people used to refer to them as microwave "ovens?" I said that and confused my kids, as they have only called that most useful of appliance "microwave." One thought the toaster oven must be this mysterious "microwave oven" I mentioned. Anyway, in this video, Bill Hammack, the Engineer Guy, explains the magic in the microwave. -via The Daily What Geek

Yes it is interesting - a lot of people don't realise that "microwave" is actually not the same as "microwave oven". Again common useage dictates the common name.

"We gotta install microwave ovens /
Custom kitchen deliveries /
We gotta move these refrigerators /
We gotta move these color TV's"

The "color" part of "color TV" will likely also throw your kids - what else is there besides colors?
