Demonstration of a self-powered smoke detector for ducting systems

该项目将建造一个用于通风管道的自供电烟雾探测器的演示器。这样的系统将从管道本身的气流中获取电力，不需要任何电线或电池。这一简单的系统使烟雾探测器能够快速、高效地改装到建筑物中，并将破坏降至最低，从而显著节省成本。这样的系统不需要局限于烟雾探测，通过其他合适的传感器，可以通过低功率无线电网络感知和报告许多与建筑相关的参数，如湿度、温度和气流。

This project will build a demonstrator of a self-powered smoke detector for ventilation ducts. Such as system would take its power from the airflow in the duct itself, removing the need for any wires or batteries. This simple system allows smoke detectors to be quickly and efficiently retrofitted into building with the minimum of disruption, with consequent significant cost savings. Such a system need not be confined to smoke detection, and with other suitable sensors, many building related parameters can be sensed and reported via low power radio networks, such as humidity, temperature and airflow.
