DESCRIPTION:
Each project includes a list of materials, sources for parts, schematics, and lots of clear, well-illustrated instructions. Projects include: rain detector, air pressure sensor, cloud chamber, lightning detector, electronic gas sniffer, seismograph, radiation detector, and more. 54 super-entertaining projects offer insights into the sights, sounds, and smells of nature Nature meets the Evil Genius via 54 fun, safe, and inexpensive projects that allow you to explore the fascinating and often mysterious world of natural phenomena using your own home-built sensors
"Good hobbyist book on sensors" according to calvinnme. I own several books by the author, and like his other books, this one is focused on construction details and how each particular circuit works, along with datasheets, as opposed to theory. So if you are looking for the theory of operation on individual sensors, I think you will be disappointed. However, if you are just looking for interesting projects to build, this book is full of good ideas for circuits. The projects range from t. Christopher T. Dahle said Good, but it's not a cook-book. I was looking for a book that would tell me how to build various types of sensors in the garage using bell wire, nails, and coffee cans, and while this is not really the book for that, it indeed DOES contain many great project ideas and valuable information. You do need to already be pretty handy with a soldering iron and confident of your electronics knowledge and ability. You do not have to be evil, but a modicum of genius is hel. Nice ideas - construction details missing AriMc Many of the projects in this book are interesting and can be used as parts of one's own electronics projects. Theories and schematics are presented reasonably well.Some construction details are presented fine, such as mechanical assemblies and required parts lists. What I found annoying was the complete lack of PCB layouts, especially with the more complex designs. The author probably has built all of the presented prototypes and c
The mind-boggling possibilities for combining these sensors with other electronic and mechanical devices are literally endless! If these projects don't get your creative and inventive ideas cooking, nothing will! EXPLORE ELECTRONIC PERCEPTION This awesome book equips you with complete plans, instructions, parts lists, and sources for these wonderful projects: Jupiter radio telescope Research seismograph for monitoring tectonic plate movement Geiger counter for detecting atomic radiation Electronic stethoscope for hearing detailed heart and lung sounds Cloud chamber Combustible gas sniffer Earth field magnetometer Atmospheric charge (lightning potential) monitor Cloud charge monitor Low-cost ion chamber Advanced ion chamber Electromagnetic field detector Vibration alarm Infrared motion
