An iron-alloy wire that has unique magnetic properties. Invented by John Wiegand in 1972 and used in sensor applications, the Wiegand wire's outer layer can be magnetized without affecting the inner ...

This brief tutorial explains how the “Wiegand effect” can be used as a reliable, low-cost, energy-harvesting system to power ...

Wiegand sensors – tiny devices that use variations in an external magnetic field to generate electrical signals and energy – have unique properties that make them a useful option for proximity sensing ...
