It used to melt the chocolate bar in your pocket if you stood in front of it..........

 

That’s the story from the inventor.
In 1945, Raytheon engineer Percy Spencer accidentally invented the microwave while working with radar technology. The discovery happened when a radar magnetron melted a nut cluster in Spencer's pocket. Intrigued, Spencer tested the machine's effects on food, causing an egg to explode and popcorn to pop. He then filed a patent for a “Method of treating foodstuffs”. The first microwave models were huge, weighing over 750 pounds and standing 6 feet tall.
