What it does

"An odor detector with interactive lighting (pull-cord dimming/auto-off) and built-in gas sensors for real-time monitoring, displayed via dual synchronized pointers."

Your inspiration

Inspired by the dangling rhythm of wind chimes, the disc reconstructs agility, hiding the beauty of wind movement in stillness

How it works

The main body of the product is visually constructed with a white main disk and orange pointers, symmetrically designed to optimize the airflow path, while adjusting the brightness of the outer ring LED through rope tension (pulling the rope will light up/releasing it will instantly turn off). The built-in metal sensor analyzes gas concentration in real time and drives the dynamic response of the dual headed pointer. When there is a dangerous gas, the light will quickly react and turn red.

Design process

The concept originates from the suspension of wind chimes, which transforms rope tension into a dynamic interactive medium. The initial version used 3D printed resin discs and simulated the nonlinear damping characteristics of wind chime oscillation through silicone suspension lines. It was found that the connecting nodes were prone to loosening, and titanium alloy shaft sleeves were used for reinforcement. When the sensor module is embedded in the center of the circle, airflow interference is detected. Therefore, the metal sensor is placed in the annular groove and combined with the double headed pointer to form a visual data closed loop. Three iterations to optimize light response delay to within 0.3 seconds

How it is different

Innovative suspension fixed hybrid architecture, breaking through the static limitations of traditional detection equipment. The top magnetic small disk and the suspended main disk form a dynamic tension system, pulling the rope and causing changes in the lighting. The core innovation lies in the dual feedback mode: when gas approaches, the pointer rotates according to the concentration of the odor. When a dangerous odor approaches, the pointer rotates and emits a red light

Future plans

Expand multi-scenario applications, integrate AI algorithms for precision enhancement, target industrial/smart home markets, develop adaptive gas spectrum database.
