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.
