 Flame Sensor Flame Sensor: How It Works and Its Applications A flame sensor is an electronic device used to detect the presence of a flame or fire. It is commonly used in safety systems, fire alarms, and automated electronics projects to prevent accidents. How It Works Flame sensors work by detecting the infrared (IR) light emitted by a fire. When a flame is present, the sensor outputs a signal to a microcontroller (like Arduino), which can then trigger an alarm, shut off a system, or take other safety measures. Key points: Detects infrared light from flames. Works best with open flames like gas stoves, candles, or matches. Can be used in indoor and outdoor environments. Applications Fire Alarm Systems – Alerts users when a flame is detected. Gas Stove Safety – Automatically shuts off the gas if the flame goes out. Robotics Projects – Robots can detect fire sources in competitions or safety tests. Industrial Automation – Monitors flames in furnace...
