Hi there...
Basically, I have the search coil mounted in front of my chassis which has 4 DC motors on it.
The vehicle is to scan an area and transmit the information to a remote unit. The unexpected problem I have encountered is that when the motors are on, the metal detecter is being falsely triggered.
I assume it is something to do with electromagnetic (EM) waves generated from within the motors which is triggering the metal detector as it works on the principle of detecting varying EM strengths. I was wondering if anyone know of any material I could get hold of which I can cover the motors with so that external EM waves are kept to a minimum?
As always, I appreciate any help!
Thanks very much for reading.
