  2. Magnetometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetometer

    Magnetometers can be used as metal detectors: they can detect only magnetic metals, but can detect such metals at a much greater distance than conventional metal detectors, which rely on conductivity. Magnetometers are capable of detecting large objects, such as cars, at over 10 metres (33 ft), while a conventional metal detector's range is ...

  3. Metal detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_detector

    This then was the first magnetic induction metal detector, and the first pulse induction metal detector. In late 1878 and early 1879, Professor (of music) David Edward Hughes published his experiments with the 4-coil induction balance. [ 3 ]

  4. Electromagnetic forming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_forming

    A special coil is placed near the metallic workpiece, replacing the pusher in traditional forming. When the system releases its intense magnetic pulse, the coil generates a magnetic field which in turn accelerates the workpiece to hyper speed [quantify] and onto the die. The magnetic pulse and the extreme deformation speed transforms the metal ...

  5. Counter-IED equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-IED_equipment

    New tethers—lined with a mix of copper wires and fiber-optic cables—transmitted data to a ground control station, which then disseminated near real-time information of hostile activity to operational forces. [23] The aerostats are reconnaissance tool, gathering intelligence from 20 miles in every direction, 24 hours a day, for weeks on end ...

  6. Induction loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop

    A different sort of "induction loop" is applied to metal detectors, where a large coil, which forms part of a resonant circuit, is effectively "detuned" by the coil's proximity to a conductive object. The detected object may be metallic (metal and cable detection) or conductive/capacitive (stud/cavity detection). Other configurations of this ...

  7. Magnetic anomaly detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_anomaly_detector

    A magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) is an instrument used to detect minute variations in the Earth's magnetic field. [1] The term typically refers to magnetometers used by military forces to detect submarines (a mass of ferromagnetic material creates a detectable disturbance in the magnetic field ).

  8. New York to test gun-detection systems for city's subway - AOL

    New York City will begin testing gun-detecting technology in a pilot program at several subway stations, Mayor Eric Adams said on Thursday. The announcement comes after several shootings on the ...

  9. Husky VMMD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husky_VMMD

    Husky 2G is a two-seat variant of Husky MK III vehicle mounted mine detector (VMMD) designed and manufactured by South African firm DCD Protected Mobility (DCD PM). Equipped with a number of sensors , the vehicle is ideally suited for mine-clearing operations including detection, identification and destruction of improvised explosive devices ...
