nyc resistor blog: sensor wiki

by Jon on November 7, 2007

NYC resistor reports on SensorWiki,

a great collection of different sensors. From Inclinometers, Rotary potentiometers, Force-sensitive resistors (FSR) and other kinds of ‘ometers’.

Link to post.

For the technophobes amongst our readership – an “Om” meter has nothing – well, very little – to do with transcendental meditation, yoga, or chanting. Nor has it anything to do with Frederick Olmsted, whse work has been so good for our neighborhood.

If you already know these distinctions – or want to know – all of you artist-engineers and engineer-artists – should check out the NYC resistor blog, which greets visitors with the following message:

Welcome to the NYC Resistor Hacker group. We learn, share, and make things.

Go. Learn, share and make.

- Use Bio-Heat as a substitute for #2 Heating Oil
  New York City has over 960,000 buildings. Only 9,000 of them (less than 1%) use the dirtiest heating oil (grades #4 and #6). But those 9,000 buildings are responsible for over 86% of the soot and ozone pollution in the air. These particulates contribute to the failure of New York City’s air to meet the National Ambient Air […]
- Catherine Mohr’s TED talk: How to Really Green Your Home, Deep Down
  Catherine Mohr in her TED talk explains how to get down to brass tacks in deciding how to build your house. The basis of her decisions is how much energy is embodied in the extraction, manufacture, transportation and installation of all the elements that go into a new building. She’s right but I wish she talked more […]

- Healthy Indoor Air – You Need It!: Top 10 strategies!
  Healthy indoor air is arguably the most important benefit from green building. I lived in an apartment for 4 years that had mold hiding somewhere. Turns out I’m allergic to mold.

- 3R Living is Back in Business!
  I was sad when my favorite eco-friendly store 3R Living closed in Park Slope due to the recent economic downturn (downturn? it feels more like a relentless chokehold…but I digress). The Owners, husband and wife team Samantha Delman-Caserta and Mark Caserta and Samantha’s sister Tracy Ferdinand set up a lovely little shop in Montclair, NJ. I guess […]

- Energy Audit = Money in Your Pocket
  We weatherized our house last year. You can read all about it here. So far, in the 11 months since we completed the work, we have saved approximately $900 on our annual heating bill. Assuming energy prices remain constant (which they won’t – all projections indicate rising energy prices), we will payback the insulation and air […]
