First Operational Test of an Oil Sensor

I conducted the first test of an oil sensor and comment on the results in this film clip. The sensor I used was a Ford Idiot light sensor type. This type just causes a light to come on on the dashboard if the oil pressure fails.





My Observations

1. The switch closes at 3-5 pounds of pressure and the resistance goes to 1 Ohm.

2. The switch opens at about 3 pounds of pressure and the resistance goes to infinity.

3. Idiot light type oil pressure sensor switches are well suited to use as a control mechanism for electrolysis.
