Magic sensor X-ray
Magic sensor. Coloured X-ray of a tyre fitted internally with an autonomous sensor (yellow). This long-lived sensor is powered solely by the changes in pressure it measures, needing no batte- ry. It is only active when there is a change to measure. Voltage is generated in its piezoelectric materials by changes in pressure. The voltage is converted into a radio signal, and this data is transmitted to an external receiver by an antenna. In this case, however, the sensor is linked by a wire. This sensor, which is being co-developed by Siemens, Germany, and Continental, will contin- uously check the tyre pressure while driving

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible technology behind the Magic sensor X-ray. In this image, we are presented with a coloured X-ray of a tyre that has been fitted internally with an autonomous sensor, highlighted in vibrant yellow. What makes this sensor truly remarkable is its ability to operate without any reliance on batteries. Powered solely by the changes in pressure it measures, this long-lived sensor comes alive only when there is a change to measure. The piezoelectric materials within the sensor generate voltage as pressure fluctuates, which is then converted into a radio signal. This data is transmitted wirelessly to an external receiver through an antenna. Developed collaboratively by Siemens and Continental in Germany, this cutting-edge technology represents a significant breakthrough in tire monitoring systems. As one drives, this innovative sensor continuously checks and monitors tire pressure without requiring any additional power source or intervention from the driver. The intricate details captured in this photograph allow us to appreciate both the complexity and elegance of modern electronics and physics at work. It serves as a reminder of how advancements like these can revolutionize various industries such as automotive engineering and contribute towards safer driving experiences for all motorists worldwide.
