01 / Overview

This exhibit aims to provide participants with interactive experiences to gain knowledge about microwaves and electromagnetic waves. The exhibit consists of a stylish booth, microwave heating interactive device, transparent screen, and knob screen. The core highlight is to take visitors back to the unexpected moment of the invention of the microwave oven - reproducing the unexpected melting of chocolate in front of the radar device, inspiring scientist Spencer to invent the microwave oven. Viewers can observe a microwave oven model and select heating objects (chocolate, eggs, grapes, metal containers, tin foil, cola, cling film) by rotating the knob screen. With the help of a transparent screen, they can observe the changes of objects inside the microwave oven and observe the dynamic collision and friction of small balls representing "water molecules" inside the model, intuitively understanding the principle of microwave heating. one Entering the exhibit, first observe the microwave oven model on the booth to understand the basic scene of the exhibit Rotate the knob screen and select the object you want to heat from chocolate, eggs, grapes, metal containers, tin foil, cola, and cling film.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
