Photogate Sensors- are a timing device that measure times of the changes in state of an
infrared beam that is blocked by a flag of known length, as well as the times the beam is
unblocked. Using the flag length, and the blocked time, students can calculate speed.
2. Gas Sensors- are electronic devices that detect and identify different types of gasses. They
are commonly used to detect toxic or explosive gasses and measure gas concentration. Gas
sensors are employed in factories and manufacturing facilities to identify gas leaks, and to
detect smoke and carbon monoxide in homes. Gas sensors vary widely in size (portable and
fixed), range, and sensing ability.
3. Chemical/Scents Sensors- is a device that measures and detects chemical qualities in an
analyte (the scientific term for a chemical substance being observed) and converts the
sensed chemical data into electronic data.
4. Humidity Sensors- is a device that detects and measures water vapor. ... Based on our
robust capacitive technology, these humidity sensors provide accurate measurement of dew
point and absolute humidity by combining relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T)
measurements.
5. Color Sensors- is a type of "photoelectric sensor" which emits light from a transmitter, and
then detects the light reflected back from the detection object with a receiver.
