Abstract
Disclosed is a detector device for detecting the presence of a target substance, the device comprising: a detection rod having a longitudinal rod body, composed of a conductive and non-magnetic material and a support structure configured to support the detection rod at an fulcrum site between a detection end and the counterbalance end of the detection rod. The support structure is configured to sustain the detection rod in a static state absent an external force and to guide a rotation of the detection rod in response to an external force, which may include a force effectuated by the presence of the target substance.
Claims20
A detector device for detecting the presence of a target substance, the device comprising:
- a detection rod having a longitudinal rod body, the rod body having a detection end and a counterbalance end opposite the detection end;
- and
- a support structure comprising a support shaft, the support shaft coupled to the rod body in approximate perpendicular alignment to the rod body, and between the detection end and the counterbalance end,
- wherein the detection rod is configured to sustain a static state absent an external force, and to rotate according to an axial rotation of the support shaft, in response to an external force,
- the external force including a force effectuated by the presence of the target substance within a detection range of the detection rod.
A detector device for detecting the presence of a target substance, the device comprising:
- a detection rod having a longitudinal rod body, the rod body having a detection end and a counterbalance end opposite the detection end, wherein the rod body is uniformly composed of a conductive and non-magnetic material;
- and
- a support structure,
- wherein the support structure is configured to support the detection rod at an fulcrum site between the detection end and the counterbalance end of the detection rod,
- wherein the support structure is configured to sustain the detection rod in a static state absent an external force,
- and wherein the support structure is configured to guide a rotation of the detection rod in response to an external force, the rotation being about an axis running through the fulcrum site and approximately orthogonal to the rod body, and the external force including a force effectuated by the presence of the target substance.
