Detection Inspection
| Division: | International / None | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Northwestern Ontario | | City: | Sleeman, ON | | School: | McCrosson-Tovell E.S. | | Abstract: | This experiment involving smoke detectors determined the quickest reaction time, if cleaning affected the results, and if detectors without heat sensors would react to heat. I constructed two testing structures and in a strict testing procedure, I used incense, "Smoke Test", and a heat gun. I found out cleaning made little difference and two detectors reacted to heat. I decided Kidde Multi-sensor was best overall. |
