Building a Sensor Circuit to Measure High Temperatures

AI Thread Summary
Building a sensor circuit to measure temperatures up to 2000°C can be challenging due to the high cost of IR sensors. A potential solution involves suppressing incoming IR radiation and directing it to a sensor with a lower temperature range. This approach may allow for more affordable components while still achieving accurate temperature measurements. Suggestions and insights on effective methods for radiation suppression and sensor selection are sought. The discussion emphasizes the need for practical solutions in high-temperature measurement applications.

Hi,

I have to build a sensor circuit to measure temperatures up to 2000°C. I searched for an IR sensor for this and it seems they are very costly.

Is there a way to suppress the incoming IR radiation from the source and direct it to a sensor having lower temperature sensing ranges?

I would appreciate if someone can be of help.

Regards,

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
