Sadism & Machochism?

The problem resolves itself to dicking around with a thermocouple probe that
puts out millivolts and then picking out the microvolt rise that indicates a
rate increase. Can it be done? Sure. Easily? Perhaps. Trivially?
Probably not.

The second problem, generated by the first, is simulating such a rise and
setting the trigger in the simulation. I'm presuming that you don't want to
sacrifice an engine to calibrate the rascal. Then the question becomes,
what rate do you want to trigger? One degree a second? Ten? A hundred?
Or what rise over what time are you interested in?

Form the problem and I'll try and come up with a solution.

I've always wanted to ask Jim if there was a simple circuit that could
monitor the EGT and notice the RATE of increase that would indicate a
pending
problem rather that an already existing one. Maybe blink a light, ring a
bell, or apply electric shock as needed?

Jim, anything in you S&M cap that might work here?
