Course description

The LPG Gas Leakage Detection & Alert System is a smart safety project designed to detect the presence of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) leaks and provide immediate alerts to prevent accidents. LPG is commonly used in homes, restaurants, laboratories, and industries, but gas leakage can lead to fire hazards, explosions, and health risks. This system helps enhance safety by continuously monitoring the surrounding environment for gas leaks.

The project uses an LPG gas sensor (such as MQ-2 or MQ-6) to detect the concentration of gas in the air. When the gas level exceeds a predefined safety threshold, the system instantly triggers an alarm through a buzzer and LED indicator, warning occupants about the potential danger. Advanced versions of the project can also send notifications through GSM, Wi-Fi, or IoT platforms for remote monitoring.

This project is ideal for students, beginners, and IoT enthusiasts who want to learn about gas sensing technology, embedded systems, and safety automation. It demonstrates the practical application of sensors and microcontrollers in creating real-world safety solutions.
