Anyone got a circuit for a gas alarm.
Thanks Alan

What kind of gas? Nitrogen? R-22? Propane? Gasoline?

Biological?

Actually, this isn't much of a problem. Most releases are accompanied by
their own audible warning.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
 
Look here and then google the part number of the sensor you desire to
use. This gass sensor company has a near monopoly on the market for
many years and you can get the sensors from many sources at reasonable
cost. There are many such circuits on the web.

Alan,
Assuming its an internally generated methane mix, a lighted match and a
photodetector (masked from the match flame of course) may work. Acoustic
methods may also work - perhaps some DSP filtering. Conductivity could be
used but this will only detect gas emissions with concurrent follow through
and depending on the probe design could be uncomfortable for the user.

Otherwise try having a look at;

http://www.epanorama.net/links/measuring.html

Check out some catalogues or find sensors that detect the gas you are
interested in at manufacturers web sites & look at their app notes. Depends
quite a bit on the gas / the concentration / the measurement conditions &
the environment & the ........... etc

Don't need a circuit.
All you need is a compressed air source, a spark plug and some metalwork.
Google for "valveless pulsejet".

Add wings and Amatol and you have a cruise missile.

I thought it was only Brits from SE England who called V1s 'buzz bombs'.

I learned it in the "how it works" things about the pulse-jet. And I
heard somebody say it in a movie once. :)

Cheers!
