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.
Many people have come to realize that if antique furniture is made with a high enough quality to last over 20 years then it is much more likely than new furniture to last another 20 or more years. Another aspect to consider about antique furniture is that should be in its original condition and not altered in any way. This definition is also stretched in many cases because finding pieces in perfect condition after over fifty years is very difficult.
