Post by thread:[EE]: Methane Sensor

I sent this on Monday but not sure if I had goofed on something but it seems to have gone bye bye somewhere. Anyway I was wondering if anyone know of a solid-state methane sensor? I was following the news about the trapped miners but all I found with Google were a flame type sensor (however that works). Does anyone have any info or links? Dave

Hi Dave. We all got it... but you had "EE" and not "[EE]" as the topic. You will find all the responses at: http://piclist.org/techref/postbot.asp?by=thread&id=EE%3A+Sensors&tgt=browse Rolf Dave King wrote: {Quote hidden}> I sent this on Monday but not sure if I had goofed on something > but it seems to have gone bye bye somewhere. > > Anyway I was wondering if anyone know of a solid-state methane sensor? > I was following the news about the trapped miners but all I found > with Google were a flame type sensor (however that works).

Thanks Rolf Had been wondering if that might have been the problem and it was rejected. I haven't seen any of those replies which is why I reposted. Weird.

Does > anyone have any info or links? I replied on Monday, and was "suggested" to have been wrong, but I'm fairly certain I've heard of methane detectors used to activate stink maskers in restrooms. IIRC, the surprise was that they were able to make it cheap enough. This was years ago, however, so the company involved may have folded up and disappeared long ago. Mike H.

You can also try http://www.intelligentgas.com.ar, I think their English page was down, but I don't really remember. Their products are good, but I cant really be a good parameter since I developed the device myself (they are customers of my company). The product on the web page is an old design (not mine), the new one is fancier... :) Mauricio Jancic - Trying to sell something...

Methane sensors DO exists. In fact I have one right now with me. It also detects CO, propane and other gases... oh, and also Alcohol.

May I ask who makes it and is it EC or IR?

I can't tell due to NDA, very sorry, but you can search google for it. Mauricio Jancic Janso Desarrollos Microchip Consultant Program Member infospam_OUTjanso.com.ar http://www.janso.com.ar +54 11 4542 3519

The one I am working with uses IR. But like Mauricio, I am under NDA until the device is released. Probably next quarter sometime.
