Greetings everyone
I am deciding on a project to work on for my bachelor's degree in engineering right now. I have an idea that involves using multiple metal detectors placed about 1-2 cm apart from each other.
The idea is to develop a device that is able to detect the shape of an metal item inside a wall (such as for example a wire).
So the question to you would be. Is it theoretically possible to construct a device like this using relatively simple circuits?
Also, I am not sure if it is theoretically possible due to the interaction between the magnetic fields. Does anyone here have any insights into how magnetic fields would interact in a device like this?
More details on the idea:
The device should have ~10-16 LED's which will be connected to ~10-16 metal detectors arranged in a grid. When a metal is detected, the corresponding LED lights up. Thus giving the user the possibility to see the shape of the object hidden in the wall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
