Metal Detecting Gets a New Set of Wheels
Friday, December 7th, 2007The london Science Museum has just released the ‘Metal Detecting R.C. Car’.
The car has a small sensor embedded in it’s undercarriage that detects small metal objects when it rambles thru fields, parks and yards. You are enamored with beeps and lights when the car discovers a metal object.
Although it is a novel idea, it is more geared towrds helping kids understand magnetic fields. I can imagine this thing picks up all kinds of pulltabs, bottlecaps and all kinds of other junk. It actualy even comes with some fake gold coins to practice with.
