As you’ve read, some popular foods were created by accident. But did you know that a popular device for cooking foods was also invented by accident?

A scientist named Percy Spencer invented the microwave in 1945. Percy worked with radars. Radars use radio waves to find the location of things such as boats and aeroplanes. During World War II, they were used to help find enemy aeroplanes.

One day, Percy was working with a machine that makes radio waves. Suddenly, he noticed that the chocolate bar in his pocket had melted. This gave him an idea. Maybe radio waves could heat food.

Facts About Another Invention

Percy tried another experiment. He used the radio waves on popcorn kernels. The popcorn kernels popped! He used the radio waves on an egg. The hot egg exploded all over Percy’s colleague.

By accident, Percy had invented the microwave.

The first microwaves weighed 350 kilograms (about 770 pounds) and were 1.8 metres (6 feet) tall! Of course, microwaves are much smaller today and are used in millions of homes around the world.

Cones

In 1904, there was a big fair in the United States called the St. Louis World’s Fair. A man called Ernest Hamwi was selling thin Persian waffles at the fair. Nearby, another man was selling ice cream.

It was a hot summer’s day. People bought a lot of ice cream. Soon the ice cream seller ran out of cups.

Ernest used his creativity to solve this problem. He rolled a waffle into a cone and put a scoop of ice cream in it. Some say this was the first ice cream cone. People loved it!

Remember, some wonderful inventions were created by accident. You never know what an accident can lead to.

So next time you do something by accident, ask yourself: ‘Is there a good idea in this accident?’
