Abstract:
Technology is described for an electromagnetic apparatus and system that sorts different electrically conductive metals. In one example, an electrodynamic sorting circuit includes a wire-wound, gapped, core (WWGC) and a capacitor bank. The WWGC includes a magnetic core including a gap, and an electrical conductor coiled around the magnetic core. A current in the electrical conductor is configured to generate a magnetic field in the magnetic core and the gap. The capacitor bank is coupled in series with the electrical conductor of the WWGC. Various other circuitries, systems, devices, components, and methods are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 53):
An eddy current sorter, comprising:\n a wire-wound, gapped, core (WWGC) including a magnetic core having a first end and a second end, the first and second ends defining a gap, the gap for receiving material including a non-ferrous metal, the first end having a first surface and a second surface, the first and second surfaces having an edge between the first and second surfaces, the second end has a third surface and a fourth surface, the third and fourth surfaces having an edge between the third and fourth surfaces, wherein the third surface mirrors the first surface and the fourth surface mirrors the second surface, the WWGC further including a winding of electrical conductor wound around the magnetic core; an electrical circuit including a variable frequency drive, a resonator capacitor, and a winding, the electrical circuit for producing a varying magnetic field with a frequency to deflect the non-ferrous metal from the material; and a collection assembly for separating material with different trajectories from the WWGC.
