The metal detector circuit shown here must represent the limits of simplicity for a metal detector, yet the design works surprisingly well. It uses just one 40106 hex Schmitt inverter IC, a capacitor ...

Looking for a light project to teach young hackers some very basic electronics? Here’s a quick and easy weekend project, a simple metal detector! We all know 555 timers are very useful and pop up in a ...

Here, we are going to build small circuit named metal detector circuit which is used to check the persons in shopping malls, cinema halls, etc. to ensure that person is not carrying any explosive ...

Rough Science has a gold theme running through it, and one of the challenges for the first episode was to make a metal detector to help locate this precious metal. Iron, gold and other metals Metals ...

A metal detector used to be an entirely analogue instrument, an oscillator whose frequency changed with the inductance of its sense coil when a piece of metal approached. [Łukasz Podkalicki] shows us ...
