Many years ago??I worked for ABB Kent Taylor as an electronics design engineer.
As part of my tour??I was involved in the design of a product call a MagMaster, and Electromagnetic flow meter, which use faradays principle of a moving conductor on a Magnetic field to generate electricity, albeit 15uV/m/s in this case

Anyway, I was part of the software team that wrote the original software, I personally wrote al the serials comms routines, display drivers and data capture??routines, most the code which talked to the outside world.

A few years later??I was personally responsible for the creation of an enhanced display, with bigger digits and addition functionality.

Well i have just found out that not only is the MagMaster still on sale by ABB, but they have sold over 500,000 units
