Welcome To Jacob Klaameyer's Web Project
This site will give information on how capacitive sensors
work (Theory), how this is used
to create various electrical instrumentation (Sensors), and how
capacitive touch screens work (Screens).
Please check out the Bibliography

Humidity, Fuel Level, Strain, Pressure, Weight, Sound,
Acceleration, Finger Prints. What do these seemingly
random things all have in common?! (You can probably
guess)
Using the human body as a conductor, your cellphone
reads the distortion of the electrostatic field,
measured in capacitance, in order for you to check
