MicroPod-EM

Electromagnetic flow sensor measuring the axial speed of gliders and autonomous vehicles through the water; also used in laboratory flumes.

Description

The MicroPod-EM uses electromagnetic induction to directly measure a vehicle's axial speed through the water. It is used stand-alone or integrated in the MicroRider payload on gliders and other autonomous vehicles, where accurate speed is needed both for flight dynamics and for scaling shear probe signals.

Key features

  • Direct speed-through-water measurement by electromagnetic induction
  • Stand-alone use or integration in the MicroRider payload
  • No acoustic scatterers or seeding needed for flow measurement

Applications

  • Speed measurement on underwater gliders and autonomous vehicles
  • Flow speed measurement in laboratory flumes
