Kiss Night club has been burn out 2013

 Grenfell Tower fire broke out on 14 June 2017

Conflagration burns out everything, causes heavily damaged on human and asset in last few years.
The Kiss nightclub fire started between 2:00 and 2:30 (BRST) on 27 January 2013 in Santa Maria,
Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, killing 242 people and injuring at least 630 others, or the Grenfell Tower
fire broke out on 14 June 2017 at the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of public housing flats
in North Kensington, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, West London….
Billions of dollars had been spent to mend the consequences of conflagration. Realizing that, we
provide you a fire alarm. Different from other alarms, we combine chemistry and technology so as to
detect and alarm when the fire starts.

HYPOTHESIS
Utilizing the reaction that changes the color of Phenolphthalein in ordinary condition and the color
detective sensor which is controlled by Adruino, we depend on it to recognize the combustion.
The alarming is about the box covered by aluminum pieces. Inside the box, all sensors and a main
board are arranged in advanced way. Moreover we have an aluminum composite panel which is rotated
by the motor set on the bottom of the box. On the aluminum plate, we put 4 small beakers which
contain chemical liquid (calcium hydroxide and phenolphthalein). The color sensor is set directly to the
beakers to receive the color of the liquid. On the top of bottom, the air-pump is set up, used to absorb
carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment. As we said, when the conflagration appears, it stars
burning objects and amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced. At this time, the carbon dioxide
(CO2) is absorbed into the liquid, the reaction between basic liquid and carbon dioxide (CO2) the
liquid’s color changes from pink to no color. Simultaneously, the color-sensor will detects the color
and sends the signal back to the main board in order to alarming.

METHODS
As we have two main parts for the alarming, we divide it into two parts: Chemistry part and
Technology part

Chemistry
We affirm that the phenolphthalein has color under ordinary conditions in a range between pH=8.2 –
pH=12. When we mix phenolphthalein and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) together, because calcium
hydroxide is a strong base with pH higher than 13, pH=12 is chosen. Then, the mixture’s color will be
pink.
Also when the fire starts burning object, it produces carbon dioxide (CO2) which can react with
calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)(aq) following the equation:
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + CO2 (gas)  CaCO3 (s)
Due to the reaction of carbon dioxide and calcium hydroxide, the pH of the liquid changes. It decreases
from pH=12 down to the pH lower than 8.2. Simultaneously, the color of the mixture changes from
pink to colorless.

Experiment:
Technology
The alarming analyzing system includes a main board (Arduino) and a color sensor (TCS3200), step
motor, servo 9g, Pizeo buzzer which receive the signal from the Arduino.

How our sensor and main board works?

The Arduino Uno R3 always receives the digital signal from the color-sensor and analyses it. When
the signal shows the color of the liquid is pink, Arduino doesn’t send the signal to the step motor,
servo 9g and buzzer. On another hand, when carbon dioxide (CO2) goes to the liquid, the color will
change to non-color. When it happens, Color sensor detects the change and sends the signal to
Arduino. After analyzed the information and the signal, Arduino instantly sends a current to servo,
stepper and buzzer to activate them. Besides, after 15 days without alarming, only servo and stepper
run in order to change the beaker because after 15 days works without fire, CO2 in the environment
makes the liquid’s color change from pink to colorless.
Mechanic
To cover the containing, we decided to use aluminum composite panels. This panel are easily bought in
common electricity shop or any agency with the price about 1$ for each box. Those panels constitute a
rectangular like picture above, with the height ……., length ……, width ……..
As we said above, our box contains 4 cups of calcium hydroxide in liquid alternating when any cup
loses its color. In order to do that, we unified to use a chain driver system holding two gears, the
bigger’s diameter is….., the other is about ….. It works every 15 days, the time we predicted when our
cup turns into white. All components of this system cost just approximately 5$.

This is our step to assemblage the alarm:

The gear which contains the cogwheel on the aluminum bottom composite panel would be fixed at first

Assemblages four long bolt to the panel. On each long bolt, set the nut and plate washer.
As this time, four long bolts work as four pillars, adding more the Step motor which already had the
cogwheel on these four pillars. Then connect two cogwheels with the chain.

At the same time assemblage the bottom panel component, we set 3 L-brackets on the aluminum side
panel
Then connect the aluminum face panel with the side panel.

After connect to side of the alarm, we connect it with the bottom panel and stick the broad board, driver
simultaneously.
Next, adding the color sensor

Then, we install the servo 9g

After that, we set the air pump

Final, we set the aluminum plate on the gear and the top panel.
