Is your heaving pile of electronic parts shrinking by the day as you finish old back-burnered projects and come up with new ones? Try an old pastime that never gets old: rolling your own sensors using ...

Understanding the role vibration sensors play in proactive maintenance applications is critical to avoiding unplanned downtime. A vibration sensor can reveal if a motor is misaligned to a pump or ...

A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

When it comes to safely riding a bike around cars, the more lights, the better. Ideally, these lights would come on by themselves, so you don’t have to remember to turn them on and off every time.

This module features a vibration sensor, an adjustable trimpot, and a comparator chip to give an adjustable digital output based on the amount of vibration. The multiturn trimpot can be adjusted to ...

Some spiders court by scratching leaves and 'listening' to the vibrations with organs in their legs By copying the design of an organ found in spiders' legs, engineers in South Korea have built a ...
