This is a continuous loop video to demonstrate the Capacitor sensor detecting the hand of Lara Ariel as her hand approaches the header of the car door.  Her hand has a high dielectric constant  and thus changes the capacitance of the sensor.  When the sensor detects the presence of her hand the electric motor of the car door  is programmed to reverse.

This continuous loop video  is an enlarged section of the the Capacitor sensor detecting Lara Ariel's finger as it approaches the header of the car door window seal.  The sensor is imbedded in the header of the window seal.  When the sensor detects the near proximity of the finger (adjustable from 0 to 10 cm) the motor  is programmed to reverse preventing the finger from being squashed by the unintentional closing of the car door window.
