Simple Metal Detector Cir.8302953.Powerpoint

This document describes the working of a simple metal detector circuit. It begins by explaining that metal detectors are electronic devices used to detect metallic objects like knives, guns or explosives hidden within baggage or other items. It then discusses how a metal detector works, using an oscillator to produce an alternating magnetic field, which induces eddy currents in nearby metals that can be detected by a secondary coil. It notes common uses in security screening and construction. Finally, it outlines the key components of a simple metal detector circuit, including an LC circuit, proximity sensor and buzzer to detect and signal the presence of metals.

Introduction

 To prevent any unlawful entry of guns and bombs in public places, a security
system is developed by designing various electronics projects by using a
proximity sensor. So, a metal detector is used to sense any existing metal
which is nearby. A Metal detector is an electronic device which is used in
many places like theatres, shopping malls, hotels, etc., to detect any metallic
objects like knives, guns or any other explosives kept hidden within the
baggage’s of person carrying them with bad intentions; such metal detectors
are especially useful to detect the presence of hidden items within objects.

Metal Detector

 The first industrial metal detector was developed in the year 1960

 A metal detector is an electronic device.

 An oscillator which produces AC current that passes through a coil producing


an alternating magnetic field.

 A part of the metal is near to the coil, eddy current will be induced in the metal

 This produces a magnetic field of its own.

 If another coil is used to measure the magnetic field.

 The change in the magnetic field due to the metallic object can be detected.

 The metal detectors are used to detect the weapons like guns, knives in the
airports.

 It is used in the construction industry to detect steel reinforcing bars in


wires, concrete, pipes buried in floors and walls.

 The main components a simple metal detector circuit are LC circuit,


proximity sensor and the buzzer.

 The LC circuit is nothing but inductor and capacitor, which are connected in
parallel.

 The LC circuit activates the proximity sensor when it senses any metal close
to it.

 This sensor glow the LED and makes a buzzer.
