    This document proposes a circuit design for a basic metal detector. It consists of a 555 timer IC to generate audio frequency pulses, a 47KΩ resistor, two 2.2μF capacitors, an 8Ω speaker, and a 170-turn coil. When metal is brought near the coil, it acts as a core and increases the inductance of the air-cored coil. This changes the impedance of the RLC circuit, altering the signal to the speaker and producing a different sound to indicate the presence of metal. Metal detectors have security applications to detect weapons and other metal objects.

    PROJECT PROPOSAL

    Muhammad Arzanish Malik FA16-EEE-030


    Intisam Ahmad FA16-EEE-015
    METAL DETECTOR
    Circuit Components:
     +9 supply voltage
     555 IC
     47KΩ resistor
     2.2µF capacitor (2 pieces)
     Speaker (8Ω)
     170Turns of 10cm diameter coil (any gauge would work)

    Working:

    The figure shows the circuit diagram of metal detector. The 555 IC
    timer here acts as a square wave generator and it generate pulses with
    frequencies audible to human. The capacitor between pin2 and pin1
    should not be changed as it is need to generate audible frequencies.

    In the circuit there is an RLC circuit formed by 47K resistor, 2.2µF


    capacitor, and 150turn inductor. This RLC circuit is the metal detection
    part. Now as mentioned earlier in previous section, a metal core inductor
    has a high inductance value over a air cored one.

    Remember the coil wound here is a air cored one, so when a metal piece
    is brought near the coil, the metal piece acts as a core for the air cored
    inductor. By this metal acting as a core, the inductance of the coil
    changes or increases considerably. With this sudden increase in
    inductance of coil the overall reactance or impedance of the RLC circuit
    changes by a considerable amount when compared without the metal
    piece.

    At first when there is no metal piece the signal fed to speaker causes
    some audible sound. Now with the reactance change around the RLC
    circuit the signal sent to speaker will no longer be the same as before,
    because of this the sound produced by the speaker will be of different to
    the first one.

    So whenever a metal is brought near the coil, the impedance of RLC


    changes making the signal to change resulting in variation to sound
    generated in speaker.

    Significance:
    Metal detectors are used at different places for security
    purposes.As weapons and mobile phones are made up of
    different metals so they can easily be detected by using metal
    detectors.
