I have found the schematic diagram on Metal Detector For this class it does not have to be orginal, the project can be taken from the internet. I have a few questions regarding this schematic diagram. There is a small arrow connected from the Emitter of the T3 to the 10n Capacitor C4.

What does this arrow mean It appears to me that the arrow is simply indicating signal flow as right to left in that particular wire, which is different from the remaining circuit`s left to right. You would do well to try and locate the "unknown source" that this schematic was "borrowed" from. 1) The most critical component is the coil L1. The text says 15 turns and the schematic says 20 turns. I suppose either will work, but VC1 will be different. I would try 15 turns first. 2) VC1 is 0-22pF. A 0pF minimum is unnecessary, and it would be a difficult to find part. With a 15 turn coil, the nominal setting for VC1 is about 18pF, so a 5-15pF part in parallel with a 5 or 10pF fixed capacitor will be easier to find and easier to adjust. 3) The 4 inch coil and 5. 5MHz operating frequency will give a very limited detection distance. Might be good for finding nails in the wall, behind the plaster. 4) The oscillator V+ should be regulated and isolated from the audio amplifier. Otherwise zero beat will interact with the audio, since the audio amplifier can draw a few hundred mA. 7) The power bypass capacitors C1 and C14 are unlikely to be effective at the 5. 5MHz operating frequency. The detection oscillator will tend to lock on the ceramic filter`s frequency. The circuit needs a few 0. 1uF (100n) caps to filter the oscillator V+.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
