Abstract :
It is aimed to design and develop an innovative simple ice sensing device (prototype), capable to measure atmospheric icing rate and ice thickness. This new design will have an adequate performance; based upon varying atmospheric ice capacitance on its surroundings through innovative E-driven technology. The instrumentation design is expected to be supported by embedded technology and micro-electronic devices for mathematical and logical computations, hence providing effective driving signals to electromechanical platform.
