Abstract
A linear liquid level sensing system () comprises a vessel (), an electrically conductive liquid () contained within the vessel (), and a collector () spanning a vertical distance corresponding to the desired-level-determining range. An insulator () encases the collector () to define a dielectric gap between it and the fluid (), with the insulated area in contact with the fluid () correlating with the fluid level. A single electrical line () connects the collector () to both a voltage-supplying source () and a charge-sensing device ().
