Abstract: A flux coil system has a first member having a first surface and a first flux coil being disposed in the first member. The flux coil has a first current flowing conduit having a second surface. When current traverses through the first current flowing conduit a first magnetic field is induced. The first surface is adjacent to the second surface such that the first flux coil is in the first magnetic field so that a signal is developed corresponding to the first magnetic field.
