Inside the world's smallest smoke detector.

This is quite a neat little thing. It's a very compact smoke detector based on a stack of the sounder, smoke detecting cavity, PCB and battery.

We have a heat detector in our kitchen for that reason. Not sure if it's as quick to detect a fire though.
2018-01-07 09:27:06 +0000 UTCI have some here in NZ, they apparently have a 10 year life and use CR123a batteries instead of the CR2's.
2018-01-07 06:44:31 +0000 UTCInteresting things observed from the video: 1. it's not a CoB situation, but they're sort of just potting over some SMT chips for corrosion resistance. 2. what Clive identifies as an inductor, they label as a capacitor.

2018-01-07 02:56:24 +0000 UTCI was just wondering if you have ever tried to dissolve the black blobs in a CoB situation with some sort of solvent, to reveal the innards in a less destructive manner than hacking away at it with a screwdriver or chisel?

2018-01-06 22:36:25 +0000 UTCI’m looking for a small smoke detector to place on the lid of my RC lipo charging kit. Hope this has acceptable performance.

2018-01-06 22:07:09 +0000 UTCI try to avoid surface mount wherever possible. My preference is for through-hole.
