Metal Detector App

Metal Detector AKA Body Scanner or Metal Sniffer is a smart application to detect Electromagnetic field / fields. It is a must use app if you have a smart phone. You can use this app to detect metals up to 30 cm away from your smart phone. Make your phone a metal detecting machine. It also serves the job of a body scanner. Metal detectors today have a very significance in our daily lives. Its one of the best metal detector app you will find.

Salient Features:

• This app gives output in both analog and digital form.
• Detects metal at a range of upto 30 cm.
• Analog meter.
• Digital reading in micro Tesla (uT).
• Easy to use.
• Can also be used as a body scanner (Just for playful purposes).
• Live graph plotting.
• Tells you, if your smart phone does not possess the magnetic sensor (magnetometer).
• Beep on detection of the Metal.

Working:

This app uses the function of the magnetometer inside your smart phone. As soon as the device comes in contact with a magnetic field around you, it gives a beep sound. So metal is detected. The beep sound will only be produced once the strength of the magnetic field crosses the threshold value of 70 uT.


Limitations:

• This app uses the magnet sensor of your smart phone , So only ferromagnetic materials can be detected with this app.
• Metals like Gold and Aluminum are non-ferromagnetic so can be detected with this app.
• It has a definite range for the sensing, metals beyond this range can not be detected .
• If the app doesn’t work properly. Try to restart it.
• Its not an aluminum or Gold detector
