Goal

Our Goals

Our goal is to create a CO (Carbon Monoxide) sensor that will detect CO and create a noticeable color. This CO sensor would be more useful than its electronic cousin in many ways:

1. It would not require constant power, this means that you could use it in locations with easy access to power, such as third world countries, underground places/mines, portable/handheld, etc.

2. It would be small and compact, allowing for easy transportation, meaning it could be carried by people everywhere, providing constant protection.

3. This means that it would have many uses beyond the ordinary electric, roof-bound, carbon monoxide sensor.
