Does anyone know of a cheap way to construct an air flow sensor? I was
looking for an article in EDN on using a self-heated transistor to measure
airflow, but Ican't find it.
I was also wanting to know if there is a way to create a humidity sensor,
or does anyone know of a low cost part?
I am wanting to connect these to a miniboard.
Thanks

| We have used model boat propellers on a ballbearing and on a brass bushing. Keep the bearing or bushing well lubricated for good sensitivity at low air volume (ie: low speed of the propeller). We used the propeller mounted in 1.5 inch and 2 inch PVC (...) (26 years ago, 15-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| Elektor had published a similar circuit for detecting air leaks. The heated transistor and another transistor acting as temp. sensor were glued together using heatsink compound. You had then to nullify/calibrate a meter at ambient temp. when the (...) (26 years ago, 16-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
