DIY Automatic Fire Extinguisher using Fire Flame Sensor without Arduino | Simple DIY Science Project for Students

 

Project Overview

The DIY Automatic Fire Extinguisher using Fire Flame Sensor (without Arduino) is a simple and effective science project designed for students to understand basic fire detection and automatic safety systems. This project uses a flame sensor module to detect fire and automatically activate a water pump or extinguisher mechanism without the use of any microcontroller.

It Contains

• Fire Flame Sensor Module
• 1 Channel Relay Module 
• 5V DC Water Pump 
• Battery with Charging Module
• Water Pipe
• Connecting Wires
• Sunboard Board
  

How It Works

• The fire flame sensor continuously monitors infrared light emitted by flames.
• When a fire is detected within its sensing range, the sensor outputs a signal.
• This signal triggers the relay or transistor circuit.
• The relay activates the DC water pump or solenoid valve.
• Water is sprayed automatically toward the fire source, helping extinguish it.
• Once the flame is removed, the system automatically turns OFF.
• This system works without Arduino, making it easy to understand and suitable for beginners.

Applications

• School science exhibitions
• Fire safety demonstration models
• Automatic fire detection systems
• Smart home safety concept models
• Industrial fire safety learning kits
• Educational STEM projects

Learning Outcomes

• Understanding fire detection using flame sensors
• Learning automatic control systems without microcontrollers
