Final Project Proposal
1- Tell us about the purpose of your project. Which problem does it solve? Why do you care about this? What were you inspired by? Include images and videos of similar projects
Make a gas leak detector to preserving lives from the threat of the silent killer (natural gas).
It increases safety and security levels inside your home, as soon as the natural gas leaks from the pipes connected to the cookers or heaters and replaces the oxygen in the air, the lung is filled with carbon monoxide gas (CO) instead of oxygen and is saturated with it. This leads to suffocation without warning, as the gas is odorless - especially at the beginning of the leak - which makes it leak into the respiratory system quietly until it ends in death. My inspiration came from the idea of detecting water leakage, which is placed next to the water pipes to send an alert that there is water leakage in a specific place, and then repair the pipes before the damage extends to more places, and also to preserve water from waste. It's suitable for homes, office buildings, factories, schools, hotels, warehouses, entertainment areas, trains, and more.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
The gas leak detection device works through sensors that are sensitive to the rise of natural gas or heat. The natural gas and butane gas leak alarm device also has openings that allow natural gas to enter these sensors. The natural gas and butane gas leakage alarm device is installed on the wall with small screws and connected to a regular electric socket to charge the battery. Once the gas detector senses the presence of natural gas in the atmosphere, it alerts the people in the place through visual warnings represented by lights, and audible warnings by issuing loud alarm sounds. And also send a warning message to the mobile phone and close the gas cock automatically.
