  • Lorentz force velocity sensor system
    Patent number: 11846685
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for determining a velocity. A voltage is detected for a planar sensor array while the planar sensor array is moving though a magnetic field, wherein the planar sensor array comprises conductive channels formed in a substrate, wherein the conductive channels are connected in series, and wherein the voltage is generated by the planar sensor array in response to a movement of the planar sensor array through the magnetic field and wherein the voltage is proportional to a velocity of the planar sensor array moving through the magnetic field. The velocity of the planar sensor array is determined using the voltage detected for the conductive channels.
