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 34):
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, and a winding of electrical conductor wound around the core, the winding having a first winding segment and a second winding segment, the first winding segment and the second winding segment are electrically coupled in a parallel circuit relationship, the first winding segment being packed on a first side of the gap and the second winding segment being packed on a second side of the gap, the gap for receiving material including a non-ferrous metal; 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; a conveyer for delivering the material to the gap of the WWGC; and a collection assembly for separating material with different trajectories from the WWGC.
