The May 1955 issue of Popular Electronics detailed a build-it-yourself lie detector using a 3S4 amplifier and a Wheatstone Bridge to measure resistance between fingers on opposite hands.

The Wheatstone bridge is a way of measuring resistance with great accuracy and despite having been invented over 150 years ago, it still finds plenty of use today. Even searching for it on Hackaday… ...

The Wheatstone bridge configuration is capable of measuring small resistance changes; because of its outstanding sensitivity, this circuit is the most frequently used for static strain measurements.

This article was originally published with the title “ Wheatstone Bridge for Resistance Thermometry ” in SA Supplements Vol. 79 No. 2044supp (March 1915), p. 148 doi:10.1038 ...

The resistance of a Wheatstone bridge measured between any two symmetrical terminals equals the value of one of the resistance arms. For example, four 350-? arms make a 350-? bridge.

Fig 4. Exposing the modified pressure sensor to laser energy created a temperature-induced change in the piezo-resistive element’s resistance that corresponded directly to laser power.

a strain gauge bridge fixed to a deformable component in the head of the device. Deformation causes a change in the resistance of the gauges, unbalancing the Wheatstone bridge circuit, and giving rise ...

Unlike Pepsi, Wheatstone didn't start here, but it has been part of the New Bern landscape for about a quarter of its 37-year existence. (Or if you're really a stickler for accuracy, you could say ...

The strain gages experience strain – the outer two gages experience compression, and the inner two experience tension (see Figure 1). Their values of electrical resistance alter when they are strained ...

The station already has 11 Bridge Router frames; it chose G and E Series Control surfaces for the expansion. “The DSP required for the G4 Surface will be added to an existing frame, while the E6 ...

Another nugget I came across while writing this blog is the fact that Wheatstone, who is best known for the Wheatstone bridge – a device for measuring the resistance of an electrical circuit – didn’t ...
