Overview of PIR Sensors and its Working Principle

Image
  Learning about the different sensors used in some of the commonly used devices and daily objects we use today is interesting. In this blog, we are going to give you an overview of PIR Sensors and their working principle. Smart homes, light controls, alarm systems, etc. are some of the common facilities that are using these sensors. Another great use of PIR motion sensors is in human detection robots. These kinds of robots are now widely used in rescue operations worldwide. Before starting with the overview of these passive infrared sensors, let’s make a basic awareness of IR sensors.   Table of content Types of IR Sensors A PIR Sensor Consists Of Working of Passive Infrared Sensor PIR Sensor Interface with Arduino Automatic room light with PIR SENSOR Program for automatic room light Applications Advantages of Infrared Sensor Disadvantages of Infrared Sensor Takeaway We recently published a  detailed blog on IR Sensors . It will give you detailed information on all ...

What makes Airplanes Fly: The Science of Flying

Image
  Ever since the Wright Brothers invented the aeroplane in the year 1903, people all around the world are curious to know how it is made possible. Even though there are a lot of scientific theories behind this, it is the New York Times article with the title ‘ STAYING ALOFT; What Does Keep Them Up There? ’ that came to our mind first.  With this blog post, we are trying to explain what makes airplanes fly and the science of flying. Being a robotics course provider for kids, Guruface Academy is also offering courses related to drones and flying object science. In that light, we are trying to give you a simple and easy-to-understand theory about this mysterious technology – What makes airplanes fly?      Nature & the Flight – Principles of Flight Forces of Flight Weight: Lift: Thrust: Drag: What makes airplanes fly What next? Nature & the Flight – Principles of Flight Every human in the world is fascinated by flight. Everyone has a deep desire in thei...
