it is a device that turns a measure of heat into an electrical signal it can be digital (on-off) like a switch or

it can be analog (0% to 100%) like a mechanical themometer

What is a heat sensing bulb?

A heat sensing bulb is a specialized light bulb that includes a sensor to detect temperature changes. These bulbs are often used in devices such as heat lamps and incubators to help regulate temperature and prevent overheating. The sensor in the bulb triggers the light to turn on or off based on the surrounding temperature.


How do you get ambient temp?

To measure ambient temperature, you can use a thermometer or a temperature sensor placed in the area you want to monitor. It's important to place the sensor away from direct sunlight or sources of heat to get an accurate reading. Ambient temperature is the surrounding temperature of a specific environment.


Can you safely turn a soldering iron off and on with a motion sensor?

Soldering Irons don't heat instantly so if that is the goal, yes you can but you will still have to wait for it to warm up. From a practical safety standpoint, I personally would not do it.


What is globe thermometer?

A globe thermometer is used to measure radiant heat. It bascially consists of a therometer with its bulb or sensor located at the centre of a Matt black copper bulb. Mean radiant temperature can be calculated from this result if air temp and velocity are known.


What are the Parts and function of sensor motor?

A sensor motor typically consists of a sensor and a motor. The sensor detects stimuli or changes in the environment and sends signals to the motor. The motor then reacts by performing a specific action, such as moving, turning, or stopping, based on the input from the sensor.
