Good god this was a fantastic explanation of how a Hall Effect sensor works.

I like your component level videos. The visuals make it much easier to understand. Please consider doing one on antennas and how sidebands work.

This is a nice presentation, thank you! A hall effect semiconductor was used in many high-end cassette tape decks to add auto-stop function when the tape counter wheel stops spinning -- to protect the mechanism and the tape. Simple, cost-effective and very efficient.

I was searching on this topic for 2 hours, and I just understand how it works after seeing this video. Thank you

Wonderfully clear video with the ideal level of detail for someone coming from A-Level Physics. Thank you.

[kiddfpv]

Thanks for this!! Ive seen other videos but they didnt do a good job of actually explaining how the sensor works, this one did perfectly 😊

As always, a great host and fantastic content!

I started watching in half speed by mistake, but found it hilarious!

[ranaamer]

Well done dear, your lecture full of knowledge .i am so happy to learn. Thanks so much

My motorcycle has a Hall sensor. Thank you for the wonderful video to explain why there is one on my motorcycle.

Really well done video. I didn’t realize that most Hall effect sensors are not sensitive to both poles of a magnet.

Thankyou very much! It was very informative and entertaining!

Hi I use one on my railway to control some lights, one turn green the other red, All the Best Brian 🤗

Fabulous video Karen! Bless Your Bunions!

I'm running stepper motors that run on pulses . Can a Closed loop hall effect current sensor be used to count pulse steps fo the motor ? And act like an Encoder?

I first learned the importance and advantages if Hall Effect sensors when I purchased my Saitek X55 hands on throttle and stick set.

Pretty good video. As an electronic engineer I would want to nit pick a few things. I'll give just one example -- at around 6:05 the Doppler effect is not really a good analogy. The signal gets stronger or weaker based on the distance between magnet and sensor just like the volume of the train whistle is weak when it is farther away and loudest as it passes in front of you. But that's the "inverse square law" and really has nothing to do with the Doppler effect, which is about the apparent shift in frequency of the sound (or light) when there is motion between the source and observer. Like I said, nit picking by an engineer. So ignoring the nits, pretty good video.
