  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. 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 ).

  4. Metal detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_detector

    A metal detector is an instrument that detects the nearby presence of metal. Metal detectors are useful for finding metal objects on the surface, underground, and under water. A metal detector consists of a control box, an adjustable shaft [dubious – discuss], and a variable-shaped pickup coil. When the coil nears metal, the control box ...

  5. MEMS magnetic field sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEMS_magnetic_field_sensor

    A MEMS magnetic field sensor is a small-scale microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device for detecting and measuring magnetic fields (magnetometer). Many of these operate by detecting effects of the Lorentz force: a change in voltage or resonant frequency may be measured electronically, or a mechanical displacement may be measured optically ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_anomaly

    The fluxgate magnetometer was developed during World War II to detect submarines. [ 3 ] : 75 [ 4 ] It measures the component along a particular axis of the sensor, so it needs to be oriented. On land, it is often oriented vertically, while in aircraft, ships and satellites it is usually oriented so the axis is in the direction of the field.

  7. Proton magnetometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_magnetometer

    A proton magnetometer, also known as a proton precession magnetometer (PPM), uses the principle of Earth's field nuclear magnetic resonance (EFNMR) to measure very small variations in the Earth's magnetic field, allowing ferrous objects on land and at sea to be detected.

  8. SERF - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_magnetometer

    A spin exchange relaxation-free (SERF) magnetometer is a type of magnetometer developed at Princeton University in the early 2000s. SERF magnetometers measure magnetic fields by using lasers to detect the interaction between alkali metal atoms in a vapor and the magnetic field.
