A microwave oven is activated when an electric current causes a magnetron to emit a beam of microwaves. The beam is distributed throughout the unit by a rotating reflector. The microwaves agitate water molecules in the food, generating enough heat to cook it.
An antique (Latin: antiquus; old, ancient) is an old collectable item. It is collected or desirable because of its age, beauty, rarity, condition, utility, personal emotional connection, and/or other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era or time period in human society. It is common practice to define antique as applying to objects at least 100 years old, Antiques are usually objects that show some degree of craftsmanshipâor a certain attention to design, such as a desk or an early automobile.
According to the CCCA, classic cars were typically expensive to begin with, and produced in limited quantities. An antique vehicle, adds Greer, is generally at least 30 years old, which is the minimum age for historic or vintage plates in many provinces. If it's between 30 and 20 years old â which most clubs recognize those cars, the class they fall into is called late-model production, says Greer. A collector car isn't necessarily old. One of the most glaring examples of a modern-day collector car is the Ford GT, which was 2006 era. Ford made it to pay homage to their '60s GT sporty race cars, and they're very, very collectable, says Jeff Hill, president of Okotoks Collector Car Auction.
