most likely your chimney's vent is not open...look up the chute for daylight
depends how big the source is and where the fire is. It will fill faster if the fire is at the bottom of the house
Smoke Detectors use things called LDR's or Light Dependent Resistors which lose resistance with an increase in natural light. So when there is a fire, smoke blocks out the natural light, alarming the smoke detector with an increase in resistance. Once the smoke is gone the resistance decreases and a current is allowed to flow to shut down the smoke detectors alarm. :)
Roll it up, light it on fire, and inhale the smoke. Or put it in a smokehouse with some fish.
Fire gives off its own light and will not have its own shadow, but the smoke from a fire can create a pretty big shadow.
Fire gives off both smoke and light. Smoke is produced when materials burn incompletely, releasing particulate matter and chemicals into the air. Light is emitted as a result of the combustion process, with the color and intensity of the light depending on the temperature and the materials burning.
yes because ever thing may blow up and smoke will rise off the fire
The old saying "there is no smoke without fire" tells you the whole story really. The formula is: FIRE + SMOKE ------> BURNING + HEAT That's all there is to it.
The time it takes for a room to fill with smoke can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of the room, the source and intensity of the fire, ventilation, and the materials burning. In general, a small room can become filled with smoke in just a few minutes if a fire is actively burning. However, in larger or well-ventilated spaces, it may take longer for smoke to accumulate. It's crucial to evacuate quickly when smoke is present, as it can lead to reduced visibility and respiratory hazards.
Smoke or Fire was created in 1998.
An optical smoke detector, also known as a photoelectric smoke detector, uses a light source and a light sensor to detect smoke. It works by directing a beam of light into a sensing chamber; when smoke enters the chamber, it scatters the light, triggering the alarm. These detectors are particularly effective at sensing smoldering fires, which produce a lot of smoke before flames are visible. They are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for fire safety.
Yes, fire can keep animals away because it creates heat, light, and smoke that can be intimidating or harmful to animals.
A smoke detector with a light feature provides additional visual alerts in case of a fire, making it easier for people with hearing impairments or deep sleepers to be alerted to danger.
