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.
