In 1881, Alexander Graham Bell constructed one of the metal detectors first the world in an attempt to find the bullet of an assassin in the President James Garfield. Fischer patented a portable version in 1931. From treasure hunting to security screening, metal detectors are used in many domain.
Metal detectors are electronic devices that are used to find traces of metal usually from ground, a person or cargo. Metal can be anything from discarded pieces of aluminum to buried treasures. These devices can penetrate in sand, soil, wood and other non-metallic substances.
A metal detector base consists of an electronic box and a the battery case on one end with a handle for the arm operator. There is a coil, which consists of an insulated wire around a telescopic shaft and a round plastic disk. This disc comes from the tree at an angle, allowing it to be held parallel to the ground. Handles the operator of the electronic box and turns on the power to slowly sweep the coil end on the ground until an electronic signal is heard. This indicates the presence of certain metal elements buried beneath the surface swept by the coil.
Metal detectors work on the principle of electromagnetism and their effects on conductive metals. The high-powered coil of metal, called the transmitter, use the battery power to generate a penetrating magnetic field. As the electromagnetic field penetrates into the ground, anything metallic will be responsible magnetism. When the receiver in the coil detects the electromagnetic signature, it sends a signal to the mailbox. A speaker amplifies this signal and the operator hears a beep. Microprocessors located in the electronic box can actually measure the time between collection and receipt (known phase shift) and determine which metals may be present. Thus, metal detectors, high range can be adjusted looking for some metals.
Metal detectors use one of three technologies:
A sensor beat frequency oscillator uses a coil as an inductor in an oscillator. At its frequency changes, as well as its inductor. Another oscillator produces a frequency near and audible beats between them signal metal.
A balance detector uses two induction coils and overlap. A sine wave is transmitted with one coil and received with each other. The coils are adjusted so that there is no signal in the receiving coil when there has no metal nearby.
A pulse induction detector generates pulses by cutting off an indicator. This pulse is sent through a coil and the detector listens for echoes.
