  • Hall effect devices are becoming increasingly common in the hobby. We have Hall effect sticks, compasses, and even hall effect sensors on gas motors which control the timing of the CDI ignition firing.
    But what is the Hall effect and how does it work?
    This video hopefully explains the way in which this effect works.

    This is an incredible explanation of a microelectronics concept that I've had difficulty grasping in the past. Thank you for taking the time to make it clear. Cheers!

    This kind of teaching we need in our school system. I really believe when someone explain the things very well, he really understood the subject... I was trying to understand the principle of our turbine meter which has a pickup coil and a rotor. And I'm not sure how the pulses are generated. Now it's very clear to me and i know how to troubleshoot the equipment. Thanks sir.

    The magnetic field, the current created by the voltage applied to the Hall affect device and the force acting on the electrons should be all orthogonal to each other. So on your white board the north pole of the magnet should be behind the white board and the south pole in front. Fleming's Left Hand Rule (for motors) gives these directions (it uses conventional current flow, even though that was subsequently shown to be the opposite to reality) would have the positive of the applied voltage at the bottom of the device illustrated with the negative on the top (if the negative of the Hall voltage is to appear on the right of the of a Hall affect device as illustrated).

    Hello Bruce! Great video again, love the whiteboard!
    Would love to watch a whiteboard video about optimization of power combo, from props to batteries, going through motors and ESC's, taking into account the weight or flying characteristics desired.
    I know it's way too much for your small whiteboard and your almost finished markers, but you have managed yourself to explain so many things that I would think this is not a big task for you!
    Thank you for your passion!

    Love your videos. Simple to understand. Gets me there quickly to get a GRASP on the subject. Looking at the thumbs down on a few and wondering why there are as many as there is. Then I realize they are the poindexters that go ( in a nasally voice) ," you said pie is 3.14. Nuh uh, your wrong it's 3.1415." We that watch your videos are laymen and don't have time to watch a 10hr video on the truest form of the subject and probably wouldn't even grasp it anyways. These videos are to get us in the ballpark on a subject and get the AHHHH I kinda understand now. Love your vids Bruce.

    Nice quick video. I believe you have the direction of the magnet (magnetic field) mixed up. In the orientation you show the magnetic field is parallel with the movement of the electrons. The cross product between velocity and magnetic field would be zero. The magnetic field would have to be either into or out of the board.

  • @MarkTillotson
    @MarkTillotson Před rokem

    The GMR effect (and its relatives) is often used for compass chips these days as its much more sensitive than the Hall effect (GMR effect is a quantum / spintronics phenomenon). For stronger magnetic fields sensors will indeed mainly be Hall effect. All conductors exhibit the Hall effect, but its a tiny small effect in metals which are very low resistivity. Being a semiconductor does not have the advantage you describe as holes and electrons cancel out partially - they both get pushed the same direction. The key point is you need a conductor with a very high resistivity (such as a lightly doped semiconductor). The sign of the Hall constant depends on whether electrons or holes dominate the current.
    The field strength of a magnet drops off as the inverse cube of distance, not inverse square, this is because magnets are dipoles, not monopoles.

    Actually they are pushed to the side by the magnet. Which side depends on the pole of the magnet that is closest to the sensor. For the shown deflection the magnet would have come from the direction of the pen on the board, not in the plane of the board. Apart from that a very good explanation.

    • @azgarogly
      @azgarogly Před 6 lety +2

      Well, the electrons themselves are not much affected by the magnet. The moving charge is what gets pushed by a magnetic field. So you have to get electrons moving for them to be affected. That's one thing I noticed.

    • @chasemallory9214
      @chasemallory9214 Před 6 lety

      Hahaha, technically true, I guess that was one of the details he left out to simplify, which I understand as it is not crucial to understanding how hall effect sensors work. Good'ol right hand rule cross products.

    • @azgarogly
      @azgarogly Před 6 lety

      One thing I think is most important in educational products: when statement is simplified, it cannot contradict scientific knowledge. "Electrons are attracted to magnet" is this general form is a false statement.
