Simple metal detector with 4011

Published:2012/9/13 21:14:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Simple metal detector

This simple metal detector requires only a handful of components and an evening's work. Built around a cmos4011 IC, is very robust and versatile. The 250 kHz reference oscillator is built with two gates (U1/1 and U1/2), C1, R1 and P1. The search oscillator uses only one gate (U1/3), two capacitors and the search coil. The outputs of the two oscillators are fed to the fourth gate acting as a mixer and filtered with C4.   (View)

Single transistor Metal Detector circuit

Published:2012/9/13 21:12:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Single transistor, Metal Detector

The circuit is an oscillator and the way it keeps oscillating is due to positive feedback. This is the case with all oscillators and the component that provides the feedback is the 1n capacitor between the collector and emitter of the transistor. It may seem unusual that the transistor can be turned on via the emitter to keep it oscillating, but in fact it does not matter if the emitter or base receives a signal as the important factor is THE VOLTAGE DIFFERENCE between these two terminals.

Pulsed Induction Metal Detector

Published:2012/9/13 21:11:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Pulsed Induction, Metal Detector

As you can see, there is only one regulated 12 volt supply operating the entire circuit. I was able to do this simply by AC coupling the received signal to U3 via C10. This allowed me to adjust the offset within an operating window. By using a tantalum capacitor of reasonably high capacity, the signal passes with no problems. See Waveforms and Adjustments. This met my first goal. Source: NEXT.GR   (View)

Various embodiments of the BB metal detector have been published, and it has been widely described in the press as a new genre. Instead of using a search and a reference oscillator as with BFO, or Tx and Rx coils as with IB, it uses two transmitters or search oscillators with IB-style coil overlap. The frequencies of the two oscillators are then mixed in similar fashion to BFO, to produce an audible heterodyne. On the surface of it, this design would seem to represent little more than a twinned BFO metal detector. Source: NEXT.GR   (View)

BFO metal Detector Circuit

Published:2012/9/13 21:07:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: BFO, metal Detector

By adjusting the oscillators so their frequencies are very nearly the same, the difference between them is made audible as a beat note, this beat note changes slightly when the search loop is moved over or near to a piece of metal. It has been found in practice best to make the search oscillator fixed say at 100khz and to arrange for the reference oscillator to be adjustable 100khz plus or minus 250hz. This gives a beat note of 250hz to 0 to 250hz. The beat note disappears or nulls when the two oscillators are about equal. This type of detector is most sensitive when the beat note is close to zero, about 5hz ( motor boating ) any slight change being noticeable. Source: NEXT.GR   (View)

The frequency of the second, IC1b, is highly dependent on the inductance of coil L1, so that its frequency shifts in the presence of metal. L1 is 70 turns of 0.315mm enamelled copper wire wound on a 120mm diameter former. Source: NEXT.GR   (View)

Bifilar oscillator metal detector

Published:2012/9/13 21:05:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Bifilar oscillator, metal detector

Its performance is not comparable to more advanced commercial products, of course, but it still works. Anyway, during WWII metal detectors based on the same principle were utilized my combat engineers of many armies to clear mines. The main idea is really quite simple: build two identical oscillators and adjust them to the same frequency. One of the oscillators uses the search coil while the second one incorporates a variable inductor. When both are operating at the same frequency, the output is zero. If the search coil moves near any metal, however, frequency of the first oscillator shifts and an audible tone is heard in the headphones. Source: NEXT.GR   (View)

Bridge circuit contains two resistors lOO-ohm (R3 and R4), and two thermistors (Tl and T2). At room temperature, the resistance of T1 and 1'2 is about 2000 ohms. When they are each heated to 150 ° C by an RNA 10 current, the resistance value decreases to 100 ohms. So. the four elements include a bridge circuit. CO is a characteristic that conducts heat from a thermistor at a rate different from that of air. A thermistor, TI, is exposed to automobile exhaust, while the other, 1'2, is isolated in an environment of clean air. Unlike thermal conduction bridge imbalance. A voltage difference is caused between points A and C. A differential amplifier. VI, amplifies this difference and leads to the counter with a current sufficient to read the percentage of CO and air-fuel ratio. A control panel before the balance, R5, balances the bridge and calibrates the instrument. The calibration is performed when both thermistors are exposed to outside air.   (View)
