ABSTRACT

With increased concepts of engineering devices aimed to ensure the safety of the human race in this world, this project is one that not only aims at saving lives but also ensures the protection of property from the raging claws of fire. Made from a combination of various technologies, this device was created with the purpose of extinguishing fire while being wirelessly controlled.

The main systems that make up this device are mobility, obstacle avoidance through the use of a controller, visual aid, and flame extinguishing. Mobility is achieved through the use of motors, chain drives, sprockets, and a 12V battery all fused with programmable logic and circuit integration. Obstacle avoidance is made possible through the use of a wireless controller and a receiver. A Wi-Fi camera connected to a mobile phone was used to relay visuals to the controller to aid the movement of the device. Also, the flame extinguisher uses CO2 as a main source to extinguish the fire, it was also designed to be able to use water as the main extinguishant in the event of a lack of CO2. With these systems, we were able to create a low-cost device that would aid firefighters in the war against fire.
