Portable Fire Detector
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper describes the design of a portable fire detector which can easily detect the sudden rate of change of temperature and sound an alarm if preset value are exceeded. The detector is said to be portable because it can be moved from one place to another. The design is meant to be less costly compared to other fixed fire alarm detectors and is also meant to use both batteries or be charged from AC mains supply. Fire has been causing fatalities and other casualties and losses to property and need to be detected at an early stage and put off immediately. The system incorporates a thermistor and the Arduino IDE which can be programmed using various languages such as C++. The circuit was designed and simulate, with simulation results showing that the system is able to fulfill its objectives. A prototype was built was demonstrated that the system is able to respond to rate of change of temperature. The work is still ongoing whereby future improvements involves utilizing solar energy and inbuilt photovoltaic system to power or charge detector battery.
