Automotive Fire Fighting System Athan Jefferson Advisor Dr. Junkan Ma Instructor Dr. Cris Koutsougeras ET 493 Senior Design I

Introduction

Objective To design and fabricate an automatic firefighting system, to detected and extinguish fires.

Methodology Use infrared sensors to detect a fire source and the distance the fire source is away from the system Use sensor to detect water pressure Use arduino-uno microcontroller to controller sensors and actuators Use H-Bridge to amplify voltage from arduino to linear actuator and slew drive Use C programming algorithms to calculate the angle of water nozzle based on water pressure and distance
