Magnetostrictive Wire Based Flow Sensors
Published Tuesday, November 2, 2010Background:Numerous examples of cilia and whisker-based flow sensors can be found in nature. A mammal’s whisker bends in response to touch or to wind, creating a sensory response which is then interpreted by the animal’s brain. Similarly, fish have a sensory organ known as a lateral line running the length of the body that can detect...
