  • Design and Construction of a Tachometer
    Design and Construction of a Tachometer Author: David Tisaj November 2014 Supervisors: Dr Sujeewa Hettiwatte & Dr Gareth Lee Project Outline In this project the student will design and construct a contact-less tachometer which could be used in the power engineering lab. The output should be a 6-digit display of revs/min and radians per second. The device should enable the use of several sensors (such as optical or Hall Effect). The device should be tested to demonstrate the ability to display at least 5 significant figures after a reasonable gating period. 2 I Acknowledgements I’d like to say thank you to Dr Gareth Lee for being my supervisor and coach throughout this thesis and Dr Sujeewa Hettiwatte for providing project specifications. I’d like to thank Mr Iafeta Laava for helping me build my circuit and attaching wires with headers very neatly which made my circuit look professional. I’d also like to thank my family and friends for pushing me through involving: my parents, Dusan Sibanic, Warwick Smith, Holly Poole, and Lyrian Evans. I’d like to thank “that computer shop” for recovering part of my thesis after I incurred a corrupt hard drive. Note to self and others: back up your work! And finally I’d like to thank all the websites online who have relinquished their copyright so it can be used in this thesis to explain topics in more clarity. 3 II Abstract The purpose of this report is to provide a guided tour of how everything was achieved by choosing the right parts, implementation and building, testing, results and of course to inspire future projects and students into making student level tachometers because they all come in different shapes and sizes.

  • Hall Sensor Output Signal Fault-Detection &Amp
    MATEC Web of Conferences59, 01007 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/2016 59 01007 ICFST 2016 Hall Sensor Output Signal Fault-Detection & Safety Implementation Logic SangHun, Lee1, HongSeuk, Oh2 1 Intelligent automotive team, Daegu Mechatronics & Materials Institute, S.Korea 22STARGROUPIND. LTD, S.Korea Abstract. Recently BLDC motors have been popular in various industrial applications and electric mobility. Recently BLDC motors have been popular in various industrial applications and electric mobility. In most brushless direct current (BLDC) motor drives, there are three hall sensors as a position reference. Low resolution hall effect sensor is popularly used to estimate the rotor position because of its good comprehensive performance such as low cost, high reliability and sufficient precision. Various possible faults may happen in a hall effect sensor. This paper presents a fault-tolerant operation method that allows the control of a BLDC motor with one faulty hall sensor and presents the hall sensor output fault-tolerant control strategy. The situations considered are when the output from a hall sensor stays continuously at low or high levels, or a short-time pulse appears on a hall sensor signal. For fault detection, identification of a faulty signal and generating a substitute signal, this method only needs the information from the hall sensors. There are a few research work on hall effect sensor failure of BLDC motor. The conventional fault diagnosis methods are signal analysis, model based analysis and knowledge based analysis. The proposed method is signal based analysis using a compensation signal for reconfiguration and therefore fault diagnosis can be fast. The proposed method is validated to execute the simulation using PSIM.

  • Graphene Sensors Find Subtleties in Magnetic Fields 20 August 2020
    Graphene sensors find subtleties in magnetic fields 20 August 2020 Nowack's lab specializes in using scanning probes to conduct magnetic imaging. One of their go-to probes is the superconducting quantum interference device, or SQUID, which works well at low temperatures and in small magnetic fields. "We wanted to expand the range of parameters that we can explore by using this other type of sensor, which is the Hall-effect sensor," said doctoral student Brian Schaefer, the paper's lead author. "It can work at any temperature, and we've shown it can work up to high magnetic fields as well. Hall sensors have been used at high magnetic fields before, but they're usually not able to detect small Credit: CC0 Public Domain magnetic field changes on top of that magnetic field." The Hall effect is a well-known phenomenon in As with actors and opera singers, when measuring condensed matter physics. When a current flows magnetic fields it helps to have range. through a sample, it is bent by a magnetic field, creating a voltage across both sides of the sample Cornell researchers used an ultrathin graphene that is proportional to the magnetic field. "sandwich" to create a tiny magnetic field sensor that can operate over a greater temperature range Hall-effect sensors are used in a variety of than previous sensors, while also detecting technologies, from cellphones to robotics to anti- miniscule changes in magnetic fields that might lock brakes. The devices are generally built out of otherwise get lost within a larger magnetic conventional semiconductors like silicon and background.

  • Study of Hall Effect Sensor and Variety of Temperature Related Sensitivity
    308 J. Eng. Technol. Sci., Vol. 49, No. 3, 2017, 308-321 Study of Hall Effect Sensor and Variety of Temperature Related Sensitivity Awadia Ahmed Ali, Guo Yanling * & Chang Zifan College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin150040, PR China *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Hall effect sensors are used in many applications because they are based on an ideal magnetic field sensing technology. The most important factor that determines their sensitivity is the material of which the sensor is made. Properties of the material such as carrier concentration, carrier mobility and energy band gap all vary with temperature. Thus, sensitivity is also influenced by temperature. In this study, current-related sensitivity and voltage-related sensitivity were calculated in the intrinsic region of temperature for two commonly used materials, i.e. Si and GaAs. The results showed that at the same temperature, GaAs can achieve higher sensitivity than Si and it has a larger band gap as well. Therefore, GaAs is more suitable to be used in applications that are exposed to different temperatures. Keywords: carrier concentration; gallium arsenide; Hall effect sensor; materials; sensitivity; silicon. 1 Introduction A Hall effect sensor is a semiconductor device that converts a magnetic field to electric voltage. Edwin Hall discovered the Hall effect phenomenon in 1879 [1,2]. However, its application was restricted to laboratory experiments until 1950. The huge developments in the production of semiconductors and electronics made it easy to integrate a Hall effect sensing element with a microsystem in a single integrated circuit. Nowadays, Hall sensors have a wide range of applications in many different devices, from computers to vehicles, airplanes and medical equipment.
