Ultrasonic Doppler Flow Detector
bernieS
I have a big tube of this ultrasonic transmission gel if you want to try some with your doppler. The user manual for my unit is online and has lots of info about how to make measurements with it, which should pretty much apply to your unit as well. It can be read between the lines for ultrasonic hacking applications:

Maybe we can have a doppler party. Anyone up for coming tonight with their dopplers?

Hi all, I've gotten my paws on a small, handheld 3MHz doppler that runs on 2 AA batteries. The intended use is to detect a fetal heart rate and it works on adult hearts. The feline heart rate test was inconclusive, though Gimpala did appreciate getting an extra belly rub with the end of the tester. I think I just held it in the wrong spot. I looked for the source of kitty purrs and couldn't find that either. But what about other uses, including non-biological? I want to see if it can sense studs or electrical wiring in walls, and try it on vessels half-filled with water. Could it sense gaps or voids in thick materials? Cracks in metal? Could it tell you if something is stuck in a plumbing trap under the sink? Believe it or not, there's nothing on Instructables about hacking a fetal doppler!

for the first half of each sentence, then a rapidly descending pitch at
the end.

sticking out the window of a moving train to maintain constant pitch
for trackside bystanders? That would be impressive ;-)
