The model 720 is a low-cost, compact capacitance vacuum gauge (CVG) based on the companyÕs variable capacitive sensor design. It produces a 0 to 5 Vdc or 0 to 10 Vdc output that is linear with ...

It’s springtime! Time to start working on your project car, learn a new wrenching skill, discover what everything is under the hood (and how it works), or just spruce up your daily driver. All ...

But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how capacitive soil moisture sensors work simply, clearly, and concisely.

You have likely heard of variable valve timing by one of the names manufacturers have for the system, such as VVT-i or VTEC. So what is it and what does it do?

The Endevco Model 7298 triaxial, variable-capacitance accelerometer is for highly accurate measurement of low-frequency events. The units are available in six models, ranging ...

How does Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint sensor work? There are a few different fingerprint-sensor technologies out there, with optical and capacitance readers being the most common.
