Use of ideal gas sensor to detect gas leak in store and generate alarm in case of leakage using microcontroller..
Abstract
An ideal gas sensor is used to design a kit along with alarm and messaging using gsm module to detect gas leak in gas storage tank. The sensor can also sense smoke, iso-butane,propane. In case of gas leak the output of the sensor will go low and it will be detected by microcontroller which will turn on alarm/buzzer and leds.
Circuit requirements
1.MQ-5 gas detector module
2.Microcontroller atmega 16 kit
3.LED (any colour)
4.Buzzer
5.Op-amp ic
6.Resistors
7.Power supply (5 Volts)
8.gsm module

Block diagram description
MQ-5 sensor: When there is gas leak,the output of the sensor goes low.
Microcontroller: This is the main controller of the complete circuitry. As soon as the output of sensor goes low, the microcontroller activates buzzer, leds and exhaust.
GSM module: The GSM module is used to send message about gas leak at the dummy number.
MQ-5module
GSM module
You will have to buy gsm module from market and it will cost you about rs 800.
