My Arduino with Breath Sensor

There's a small torch bulb on that pair of long wires, with the glass removed. A single transistor (BFY51) sets up a constant current through the filament, and by blowing on it, I can vary the temperature and hence resistance of it. This shows up as voltage changes, which are sent to the Arduino's analog input to control a sine-wave generator.
