Resumen
A low-cost intensity-based polymer optical fiber (POF) sensor for fuel level
measurements in paramotoring and powered paragliding is presented, exploiting the
advantages of the optical fiber sensing technology. Experimental results demonstrate that
the best option can be performed by stripping the fiber at the desired discrete points to
measure the fuel level as well as with a gauge-shape fiber bending. The prototype has a
good linearity, better than 4% full scale (F.S.), and sensitivity around 0.5 V per bend are
obtained. Hysteresis due to residual fluid at the sensing points is found to be less than
9% F.S.
