The History of the electromagnetics
Electromagnetics were important to the final and present day microwave. Dr. William Gilbert during the late 16th century was very important in creating it. Gilbert, a native of Colchester, Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, and sometime President of the College of Physicians, was one of the earliest and most important English men of science Even Galileo thought his work was great. Gilbert did many electrical experiments and discovered amber, wax, glass, and studied electro magnetics. -
The Voltaic Pile was invented
Alessandro Volta invented the Volatic Pile and came up with the
first practical method of generating electricity. -
The Battery
Since the voltaic pile couldn't deliver electrical currents for a long period of time, William Robert Grove developed the first fuel cell, which produced electrical by combining hydrogen and oxygen. There were many different forms of batteries in between the Leclanche cell and the volatic pile. Both were forms of batteries. Some are the Daniell Cell in 1820 and Lead Acid - the Planté Battery in 1859. There are several types of batteries. -
The Leclanche cell
The leclanche cell was created in 1866 by Georges Leclanché. It is a different kind of battery used in the microwave. -
Anode Ray was invented
The anode ray was important to the construction of the mirowave. It was used to make magnetron tubes which were used to make the microwave. -
Cavity Magnetron was invented
The cavity magnetron was a huge advancement in electromagnetic study. It was used to make the microwave and it is considered the 'heart' of microwave devices. -
The Invention of the microwave
Percy Lebaron Spencer accidently invented the microwave. He was standing to close and the magnetron tube melted the candy bar in his pocket.
