A Thermocouple is a terrific way to measure temperature. The effects of temperature change on dissimilar metals produces a measurable voltage. But to make that measurement you need an amplifier ...
A thermocouple is made of two wires with dissimilar metals joined together at one end, creating a junction. Because two dissimilar metal wires create different electric potentials over a temperature ...
ORDINARY electric conductors are sources of spontaneous fluctuations of voltage which can be measured ... of a vacuum tube amplifier terminated in a thermocouple. It manifests itself as a part ...
