Abstract
The present invention relates to a flow sensor for measuring a flow difference having at least two measurement chambers through which fluid is conductible; at least one means for producing a magnetic field for charge separation in a fluid flowing through the at least two measurement chambers; and at least one means for measuring an electric potential in the fluid flowing through the at least two measurement chambers, with the at least two measurement chambers being arranged such that they are run through by the same magnetic field line of the magnetic field for charge separation.
