How an electronic moisture meter works

Operating principle explained. Analog or digital, fancy display or none, they all work the same way.
No, a battery powered instrument can not possibly measure actual moisture content. See determining actual moisture content here: • Moisture testing wood ...

Thank you, you are the first video I found to finnaly say RESISTANCE now I know I can use a multimeter to test my wood moisture ( PRICE+ $5.00 at harbor freight)

trbo6 Yes, possible. Just need to make a 3-5 piece of wet wood with known moisture content, measure their resistance, interpolate the rest of the numbers. Easily done with an oven and a cooking measuring cup.
