TAQUIÓN by O ²
Taquión is a fire detection device, which is housed in birdhouses, and therefore goes unnoticed in nature.
The 2 cm x 2 cm Taquión device has 5 distinct parts.
-
The flame sensor (ANGEEK KY-026): It will serve to detect the flame of the fire immediately. Unlike electronic thermostats, it does not give false positives because what it detects is the flame itself and not the radiation heat produced by the fire.
-
The Arduino UNO board will be in charge of supplying energy to our components, it will manage all the instructions, when the sensor detects fire, it will send a signal from its output PIN to the ARDUINO UNO and this, through the bluetooth module will send the fire message to the hiker's mobile devices and will send a fire signal to all the nearest TAQUION devices, linking one with the other until reaching the forester's hut.
-
The smoke sensor: We have added this device for a false positive-free and more reliable detection of forest fires.
-
Solar panels: They are the battery of this device that is charged through small solar panels, which achieve sufficient self-recharge so that it is working 24 hours a day.
-
The Bluetooth 5.3 transmitter (HC-05 module): Upon detecting the fire, it sends a signal to all the nearest devices and these repeat the signal to the following Tachyon devices until it reaches the central computer, where the forestry agent will visualize the Fire message and know:
- Where the fire started.
- The propagation speed because the program calculates the time between the notification of 2 devices.
- The direction of the fire due to the placement of each Taquión device.
- From the central computer it will be possible to send messages to all cell phones in the forest area warning of the fire.
AGENDA 203
Mission
The mission has always been clear from the beginning: To create something to improve the lives of our future generations .
From the beginning, we realized a huge problem that is affecting the entire world , and that will only increase until it consumes everything we know today.
Yes, you guessed it, forest fires . Forest fires are the cause of the loss of several animal species and what has led to thousands and thousands of people losing everything .
We are O² , Nahuel, Adrián, and Andrés, a group of young entrepreneurs from the IES Joan Coromines who have solved the major problem of forest fires and communications in areas without coverage such as large forest areas in a very economical, efficient, and sustainable way.
