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 baggages 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.

Metal Detector
- 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.

Simple Metal Detector Circuit
- 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.

Simple Metal Detector Circuit
- When the LC circuit has any resonating frequency
from any metal which is close to it - The electric field will be created, that will
lead to induce current in the coil. - The change the signal in the flow of the signal
through the coil. - A Variable resistor is used to change the value
of the sensor, which is equal to the LC circuit.

Simple Metal Detector Circuit
- When the metal is detected, the circuit will have
changed signal. - This changed signal will be given to the
proximity detector. - It will detect the change in the signal and react
accordingly. - When the metal is detected by the coil, the o/p
of the sensor will be of 1mA.

Simple Metal Detector Circuit
- When the coil is near to the metal, then the o/p
of the sensor will be around 10mA. - When the o/p pin is high, the R3 resistor will
provide positive voltage to transistor the Q1 to
turn ON the LED. - It will glow and generate a buzzing sound. Here,
R2 resistor is used to limit the current flow.

A Simple Metal Detector Circuit Using IC 555
- A simple metal detector circuit diagram project
is designed using IC 555 - Metal detector circuit using 555 timer detect the
metals and magnets. - When a magnet is near to the 10mH choke, the o/p
frequency changes. - This circuit can be powered from a power supply.

- Which can provide an o/p DC voltage between 6V to
12V. - If a metal is near to the coil L1, it produces a
change of o/p oscillation frequency. - Then it generate a buzzing sound.
