* The dragon radar in ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', made by Bulma to find the Dragon Balls. [[Handwaved]] by saying that the Dragonballs emit a special kind of radiation in the first chapter of the series.
* On ''[[Pokémon]]'', Officer Jenny (Junsa in the original) just happened to have a sleep wave detector in her pocket when the situation called for it. Dogasu (he compares the dub to the original) says [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/kanto/ep027.html here]:
{{quote| The whole thing is fine at first. We're presented with a mystery, and for a little while there the story makes some very logical progressions...but then everything just goes all to hell when Junsa (and, later, the Rocket-Dan) pulls out a freakin' sleep wave detector. Because, y'know, that's what police officers just happen to carry around with them at all times. I can totally imagine Junsa's orientation day at the police station. "OK...here's your badge, your gun, and your standard issue sleep wave detector. Good luck."}}
* ''[[Read or Die]]'' had this.

The Demon Compass [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|finds demons]] by measuring demon energy. The Mystic Whistle is a whistle for demons that functions like a dog whistle; it causes Hiei to appear.
{{quote| '''Hiei''': I only came to find the source of the vile noise... and kill it.}}
* In addition to being the source of a [[Magical Girl]]'s power and {{spoiler|[[Soul Jar|their effective phylactery]]}}, Soul Gems in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' are also handy Witch detectors as shown in the second episode, glowing brightly when they're close to a Witch's presence.
 
Line 36:
** Kind of explained, if I remember right. The motion detector uses changes in air pressure to detect movement.
** From the first movie:
{{quote| '''Ripley''': What's it key off?<br />
'''Ash''': Micro changes in air density. }}
*** Very small changes in air density are what we call ''sound''. So, it's a microphone?
