Jun 15, 2022 at 14:59 comment added M.K. Saunders The receive coil is wound counter-clockwise on the top part and the clockwise on the bottom part to minimize the "feed-through" voltage induced by the magnetic field. However, since it's not perfect, I still get some voltage even without any metal (and consequently, some inductance). It's a clever method where the presence of metal will be detected via the presence of the third harmonic generated by the metal. This is why there shouldn't be any higher harmonics in the absence of any metal. In any case, thanks for dropping by! much appreciated.
