Gas Leakage Detection & Prevention Project

Advanced Gas Leakage Detection & Automatic Prevention System with Arduino

Product Overview / Introduction

The Advanced Gas Leakage Detection & Automatic Prevention System is a cutting-edge safety solution designed to protect homes and workplaces from the dangers of gas leaks. This innovative system uses an MQ-2 Gas Sensor to detect harmful gases like LPG, methane, and smoke. Upon detecting a leak, the system triggers a loud 5V buzzer alarm to alert occupants, automatically shuts off the gas supply using an MG995 Servo Motor, and activates a ventilation fan to disperse the gas. Powered by a TP4056 Type-C USB Lithium Battery Charger, this system ensures reliable and continuous operation, making it an essential safety device for modern homes.
