Description
How it works
- An automatic soap dispenser has a sensor that detects motion or the presence of a hand.
- When the sensor detects motion, it triggers an actuator to dispense a set amount of soap.
- The dispenser can be battery-powered. Benefits
- Hygiene: Automatic soap dispensers reduce the spread of germs and bacteria.
- Resource conservation: Automatic soap dispensers dispense a measured amount of soap, which reduces waste.
- Efficiency: Automatic soap dispensers can be more efficient than manual dispensers.

Types of sensors
- Infrared sensors: Emit an infrared beam that reflects back when a hand comes near the dispenser.
- Emissive-based radar-like sensors: Send out energy like microwaves, ultrasound, or infrared, and then listen for a return signal.
- Light sensors: Send out a beam of light that is constantly received by a sensor.
- Heat sensors: Wait for a heat signature, like the heat from a hand, to activate
