A detector for detecting a change in velocity of a flow of an electrically conductive fluid, comprising:
- an electromagnetic transducer comprising:
- a metal cylindrical tube forming a core having a high magnetic permeability,
- an electric coil, called primary coil, wound around the tube and intended to be electrically powered with direct current, or a permanent magnet arranged around the tube,
- at least one electric coil, called receiver coil, wound around the tube while being adjacent to the primary coil or to the permanent magnet,
- at least one envelope detector circuit connected to the receiver coil, comprising at least one diode and one load electrically in series with the diode, the load being made up of a capacitor and of an electrical resistor.
