Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Forest fires are a great threat to ecologically healthy grown forests and the protection of the environment. The root cause is due to the lack of a scalable network to monitor the physical conditions over vast forest areas. To overcome this, we used the NRF24L01+ module configured in mesh network mode interfaced with Arduino along with DHT22, MQ2 sensors, powered by Lithium-ion batteries which can be recharged with solar panel, this allows the node to reconnect to the network automatically in case of any damage to its parent node.
