Our Breakthrough Solution

Blaze Scout addresses the global crisis of forest fires through an autonomous monitoring system powered by a novel hybrid energy solution

Hybrid MPD-Solar Power

World's first forest fire monitoring system powered by plant metabolic potential difference combined with solar energy - completely sustainable and self-sufficient

Ultra Low-Cost

Only $80 USD per unit - significantly cheaper than satellite or drone operations, enabling large-scale deployment

22% Energy Buffer

Generates 131.31 Joules daily while consuming only 102.05 Joules - ensures stable 24/7 operation even in adverse conditions

Multi-Sensor Detection

Advanced sensors for smoke (MQ-2), carbon monoxide (MQ-7), temperature and humidity (DHT-11) with LoRa wireless transmission up to 1,200 meters

The MPD Innovation

Metabolic Potential Difference (MPD) collects energy from the difference in charges in a plant due to its photosynthetic metabolism. By placing a zinc electrode into a tree incision and a copper electrode into the soil, we create a continuous current output that operates 24/7, unaffected by weather or day-night cycles.

Very Stable: Consistent ~0.84V output providing continuous power
Affordable: Low-cost materials readily available
Sustainable: Zero carbon emissions, derived from natural plant metabolism
Flexible: Works with any tree maintaining regular metabolism

How Blaze Scout Works

System Architecture

Power Generation

  • 4x MPD units (Zinc/Copper electrodes)
  • 4x Solar panels (forest canopy optimized)
  • 12V rechargeable battery storage
  • Intelligent power management system
→

Sensing & Detection

  • MQ-2 Smoke Sensor (300-10,000 PPM)
  • MQ-7 CO Sensor (100-10,000 PPM)
  • DHT-11 Temp/Humidity Sensor
  • ESP-32 Development Board
→

Communication

  • DL-XL01 LoRa Module
  • 1,200m transmission range
  • 15-minute sampling interval
  • Deep sleep power optimization

Multi-Level Early Warning System

Level 1: Alert

Trigger: Any parameter >80% threshold (Temp >48°C, Smoke >240 PPM, CO >80 PPM)

Response: Sampling interval reduced from 15 minutes to 2 minutes

Level 2: Warning

Trigger: Any parameter exceeds threshold (Temp >60°C, Smoke >300 PPM, CO >100 PPM)

Response: Local alarm + push notification to patrol terminal

Level 3: Emergency

Trigger: >2 parameters simultaneously exceed thresholds

Response: Continuous push to command center + fire spread warning

Intelligent Power Management

Sufficient Light

Solar powers device and charges battery. At ≥90% SOC, charging switches to constant voltage low current.

Weak Light

Solar and battery work together. Battery increases share to meet demand.

No Light

Device in low-power mode. Plant unit and battery work together; sampling frequency reduced.

Research & Validation

Experiment 1: MPD Feasibility (24-Hour Validation)

Objective: Validate the possibility of utilizing voltage difference in plants for continuous energy generation

Method: Pachira Macrocarpa tree with Zinc sheet (tree incision) and Copper sheet (soil), voltage and current measured every 30-60 minutes for 11 hours

Results: Consistent 20-35mV output providing 104-840μW of continuous power, demonstrating stable 24/7 operation capability

Experiment 2: Energy Generation Analysis

MPD Power: 3.207 J per day (0.073 J measured over 0.58 hours, extrapolated to 24 hours)

Solar Power: 29.62 J per day (1.481 J measured over 0.60 hours, extrapolated to 12-hour sunlight)

Total System: 4 MPD-solar combinations = 131.31 J total daily generation

Energy Balance: Generation (131.31 J) > Consumption (102.05 J) = 29.26 J excess (22% buffer)

Experiment 3: Sensor Communication Test

Objective: Test sensor feedback and communication feasibility

Method: Device feedback to serial port in computer approximately 100 meters away using LoRa module

Results: Successful transmission of temperature, humidity, smoke PPM, and carbon monoxide PPM data, verifying signal transmission capability
