    The chapter identifies the project's objective to create an inexpensive yet compact metal detector. Commercially available metal detectors cost between Rs. 2,000-25,000 and are often large depending on their detecting range. The team decided to design a cheaper and more compact detector, requiring a compromise on detecting range due to the simple circuit design. Initially, a capacitive sensor was considered but later an inductive sensor was chosen for being cheaper and able to specifically detect metals, meeting the objective.

    Chapter 2 Problem Identification

    Chapter 2
    Problem Identification
    The objective of our project is to create a metal detector. Detectors which are
    available commercially in market cost around Rs 2,000 to Rs 25,000 depending upon
    the technology used and their detecting range. Also they are usually big and bulky
    almost to size of human based on their detecting range.

    We decided to create the metal detector which is cheap and also compact in
    size. Due to the compactness of circuit and a basic technology used, we were forced to
    make compromise on its detecting range.

    Initially the plan was to create the circuit using capacitive sensor. It was later
    found that the inductive sensors are cheaper than capacitive sensors. Also capacitive
    sensors were able to detect both metals and non-metals, but on other hand inductive
    sensors were able to detect metals alone, which specifically suited our objective.
