Description

The DIY Fire Extinguisher Using Flame Sensor STEM Kit is an engaging educational project that demonstrates the fundamentals of automatic fire detection and suppression systems. The kit uses a flame sensor to detect the presence of a flame and automatically activates a small water pump or fan to simulate the operation of an automatic fire extinguisher.

Students learn how sensors, control circuits, motors, and automation work together to create a simple fire safety system. This project provides practical experience in electronics, sensor interfacing, automation, and embedded system concepts, making it ideal for STEM education, science exhibitions, and engineering projects.

Features

• Demonstrates automatic fire detection
• Flame sensor-based operation
• Automatic activation of pump or fan
• Hands-on DIY assembly
• Simple electronic circuit design
• Safe low-voltage operation
• Ideal for STEM learning and science exhibitions
• Reusable components for multiple experiments

Specifications

Working Principle

1. The flame sensor continuously monitors for infrared light emitted by a flame.
2. When a flame is detected within its sensing range, the sensor outputs a trigger signal.
3. The control circuit activates the connected water pump or fan.
4. The pump sprays water (or the fan blows air, depending on the project configuration) toward the flame, demonstrating an automatic fire suppression system.
5. Once the flame is removed, the system returns to standby mode.
