note the area indicated as the two dimensional detection
patterns. This is the site of maximum field crowding; it is here that
metal detection occurs as a result of two major phenomena
eddy current generation and electromagnetic field distortion.
1.2 Statement of problem
Security is one of the vital need of every man, both in homes
and offices, so metal detectors where invented to be used in
monitoring weapons and any metal weapon found on people
when entering through the entrance of the environment such
as door or gate.
1.3 Aim and objectives
The aim of this project is to design and construct a weapon or
metal detector which is used to monitor of detect metallic
objects in a hiding environment. This work also shows the
design and implementation of a locally made weapon or metal
detector and the various stages use in designing it.
1.4 Scope of the project
In this project a student should be able to illustrate the
operation metal detector or weapon system, how it can be
used for security implementation, features and requirement of

Unfortunately though, doctors couldnt locate the bullet and
Garfield continued to suffer.
One of his visitors during that time, Alexander Graham Bell, built
a metal detector specifically to try to help find this bullet, but,
sadly, his attempts were unsuccessful. It turns out the metal
springs in the bed President Garfield was lying on confused the
machine and rendered it essentially useless. President Garfield
finally died of infection from his wound September 19, 1881.
Improving the Original Metal Detector Design
Although the first metal detector didnt help save the 20th
President of the United States, the machine Alexander Graham
Bell made was a viable metal detector and it went on to be the
prototype for which all other metal detectors from that time
forward have been based. Initially, these machines were really
big, complicated, and ran on vacuum tubes. But, they were useful
and continued to rise in popularity as a result. Most importantly
these early metal detectors were used to find and clear

he applied for, and was granted, the first patent for a metal
detector. Although Gerhard Fisher was the first person granted a
patent for a metal detector, the first to apply was Shirl Herr, a
businessman from Crawfordsville, Indiana. His application for a
hand-held Hidden-Metal Detector was filed in February 1924, but
not patented until July 1928. Herr assisted Italian leader Benito
Mussolini in recovering items remaining from the Emperor
Caligula's galleys at the bottom of Lake Nemi, Italy, in August
1929. Herr's invention was used by Admiral Richard Byrd's Second
Antarctic Expedition in 1933, when it was used to locate objects
left behind by earlier explorers. It was effective up to a depth of
eight feet.[2] However, it was one Lieutenant Jzef Stanisaw
Kosacki, a Polish officer attached to a unit stationed in St
Andrews, Fife, Scotland, during the early years of World War II,
who refined the design into a practical Polish mine detector.[3]
They were heavy, ran on vacuum tubes, and needed separate
battery packs.
The design invented by Kosacki was used extensively during the
clearance of the German mine fields during the Second Battle of

The materials I used were from the information I got from the
internet and I have to develop the work through the source I
found online that is treating the same case.
The circuit diagram used is the diagram which was design as
a prototype but also works to revive some information about
the circuit analysis of the devices which I later entered more
design like the alarm unit and the led blinking to give a
better operation of the device.

Fig 4.2 Diode operation: (a) Current flow is permitted; the diode is

When the polarity of the battery is such that electrons are allowed
to flow through the diode, the diode is said to be forward-biased.
Conversely, when the battery is backward and the diode blocks
current, the diode is said to be reverse-biased. A diode may be
thought of as like a switch: closed when forward-biased and
open when reverse-biased.
Oddly enough, the direction of the diode symbol's arrowhead
points against the direction of electron flow. This is because the
diode symbol was invented by engineers, who predominantly use

Fig 4.3 Hydraulic check valve analogy: (a) Electron current flow
permitted. (b) Current flow prohibited.
Check valves are essentially pressure-operated devices: they
open and allow flow if the pressure across them is of the correct
30
polarity to open the gate (in the analogy shown, greater fluid
pressure on the right than on the left). If the pressure is of the
opposite polarity, the pressure difference across the check
valve will close and hold the gate so that no flow occurs.
Like check valves, diodes are essentially pressure- operated
(voltage-operated) devices. The essential difference between
forward-bias and reverse-bias is the polarity of the voltage
dropped across the diode. Let's take a closer look at the simple
battery-diode-lamp circuit shown earlier, this time investigating
voltage drops across the various components in Figure below.

The term kT/q describes the voltage produced within the P-N
junction due to the action of temperature, and is called the
thermal voltage, or Vt of the junction. At room temperature, this is
about 26 millivolts. Knowing this, and assuming a nonideality
coefficient of 1, we may simplify the diode equation and re-write it
as such:

and reverse breakdown.
Typically, the PIV rating of a generic rectifier diode is at least 50
volts at room temperature. Diodes with PIV ratings in the many
thousands of volts are available for modest prices.
Types of diode
38
There are many different types of diodes that are available for use
in electronics design. Different semiconductor diode types can be
used to perform different functions as a result of the properties of
these different diode types. Semiconductor diodes can be used for
many applications. The basic application is obviously to rectify
waveforms.

there is an area of intrinsic semiconductor which has no doping.
The area of the intrinsic semiconductor has the effect of
increasing the area of the depletion region which can be useful for
switching applications as well as for use in photodiodes, etc.

4.3.3 Resistors
Resistance is the property of a component which restricts the flow
of electric current. Energy is used up as the voltage across the
component drives the current through it and this energy appears
as heat in the component.
Resistance is measured in ohms; the symbol for ohm is an omega

the 'multiplier' band is Gold move the decimal point one to the
left. If the 'multiplier' band is Silver move the decimal point two
places to the left. If the resistor has one more band past the
tolerance band it is a quality band.
Read the number as the '% Failure rate per 1000 hour' this is
rated assuming full wattage being applied to the resistors. (To get
better failure rates, resistors are typically specified to have twice
the needed wattage dissipation that the circuit produces) 1%
resistors have three bands to read digits to the left of the
multiplier. They have a different temperature coefficient in order
to provide the 1% tolerance.

stronger the field produced. Conversely, a changing external magnetic flux induces
a voltage in a conductor such as a wire, due to Faraday's law of induction.[3][4] The
induced voltage can be increased by winding the wire into a coil, because the field
lines intersect the circuit multiple times.[3]
The direction of the magnetic field produced by a coil can be determined by the
right hand grip rule. If the fingers of the right hand are wrapped around the
magnetic core of a coil in the direction of conventional current through the wire,
the thumb will point in the direction the magnetic field lines pass through the coil.
The end of a magnetic core from which the field lines emerge is defined to be the
North pole.
