Carbon dioxide detector
Electrolyzer by 3D printer
The purpose of my project is preparing a catalyst that can be used in reducing the carbon dioxide content and making a detector that can be used before and after using catalyst.
It plays a critical role in the climate change and keeping the environment clear as possible as.
I care about it as it helps in the health of humans and also it will act on the whole environment.
The detector will sense the carbon dioxide gas, and it will give an alarm and warning massage.
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
I will start with burn paper.
Then close the smoke to the detector.
The detector will sense the gas and give an alarm.
The screen will show the level of carbon dioxide in PPM.

4- Describe the Technical Modules that your project consists of
Construction Parts
Box with two rectangles for LCD screens with hole to enter the carbon dioxide from it. and also, two small lamps beside the LCD screens
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
Carbon dioxide sensor
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
This device should sense percentage of carbon dioxide and write warning msg on first LCD screen and may have lamps that red color itself according to this value. The second LCD screen will have a massage of "Normal Range" and may have green color that indicates an accepted value.
Brain
Arduino
Power Management
Device contains an adaptor
5- Create a cardboard prototype of your project, demonstrating the project face as well as internal movements and mechanisms. Include a demo video and photos of the prototype.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
