What happens if your smoke detectors goes off but there's no smoke?
This may because specs of dust can cause activation of the detector as it has the same effect as smoke. Spiders also can crawl into the sensors which does the same thing- same way with deodrant, paintfumes etc. It also may be because the smoke detector is just faulty.
Why do you have to test an ionizing smoke detector?
You have to test it frequently, the reason is that smoke may be visible or may be not and you want to see all particles that emanate from any kind of smoke, specially during night time when you are asleep. Most of dust/ash particles may not be visible and via ionizing detector they will be!!!! Alarm will go off making alert sound and you will be safe. So, sumirizing, you need to test ionizing smoke detector to see if sensor is in ok condition.
How would one make a lock that is triggered by a smoke detector?
Perhaps a two-stage process. Firstly, gain access to the electrical output in the smoke detector, that drives the noise transducer. Use this (amplified?) to drive the mechanism of your electrically-operated lock.
Guide to install fire smoke detector above false ceiling?
I don't believe that if you place a smoke detector inside a closed space like above a false ceiling , it will have the same effect than if it was attached to the ceiling on the occupied space side. See the related link for some general guidelines and always check local codes or with the fire marshall for specifics.
How you build a fire detecter?
Actually they are smoke detectors, they detect the result of the fire, smoke. A smoke detector works as follows: There is a chamber with a small nuclear source in it. Smoke particles are hit by the radiation and are ionized, ie, an electron is knocked off the particle leaving the particle with a charge on it. The chamber has two parallel plates in it with a voltage across the plates. The ionized particles are attracted to one of the plates, causing an electric current to flow. This current is amplified and detected and sets off the alarm.
Was the smoke detector proposed for a mission?
actually no, the smoke detector was not proposed for a mission
Can you buy smoke detector tape?
Personally, I have no idea what "smoke detector tape" is.
Is a smoke a detector like a sense organ?

Can a smoke detector sound from heat only?
Then it wouldn't be a smoke detector, but there are fire alarms that are triggered by temperature.
Do I need a battery smoke detector as a backup?
If your home smoke detector is tied into your electricity and is equipped with a battery backup you should not need an additional smoke detector. You should insure that the batteries are charged and that the smoke detector is functioning properly at least once a month if not more often.
How do you unplug a smoke detector?
Remove the batteries from the back of the detector.
How does a radioactive smoke detector?
Americium-241 ionizes the air inside a smoke detector, making a small change in voltage when smoke is present.
Why does your smoke detector beep only at night?
Incase you are sleep and a fire starts the smoke detector will wake you up
What is a battery-operated smoke detector?
A battery-operated smoke detector is one which is not connected to your homes power supply.
How does a smoke alarm work?
press onThere are two kinds of smoke detectors. 1. When a fire burns, it releases smoke. The smoke detector senses the smoke. 2. A fire is very hot. The detector feels the heat. A smoke detector will then either set off an alarm, or it will turn on the sprinklers.
Do smoke detectors detect weed smoke?
Absolutely....It's a "smoke" detector.
