Piezo Breeze Sensors

A different approach to measuring air flow using piezoelectric ceramics.

A piezo breeze sensor discloses increases in the velocity of the air or other gas to which it is exposed. The sensor contains two piezoelectric elements in a series-opposed circuit.
 
One element is exposed to the gas whose velocity is being monitored, the other is isolated from the gas. When the gas is motionless, or its flow is relatively constant, charged air molecules at the surfaces of the element exposed to the gas are in balance with the free charge carriers and dipoles in the element. The charge across the element is balanced and both elements generate the same electric charge. Voltage across the bias resistor is approximately zero...Read More.
