Believe it or not Andy, occasionlly people do original work ;)
That's fine. Original work is good too. When I ask for references, I'm
not asking for corroboration. I'm asking for data.
While I
am far from being the definitive source on this subject, I can assure
you, and will here in this public forum, discuss the physical system
that we KPLUGers could build to do the detection needed. Others must
provide the response systems.
Okay, now you're in my realm--systems engineering.
The first thing I am going to point out *as an engineer* is that these
systems are decoupled technically but not economically.
For example, detection false positives that result in equipment rolls
have an economic cost on the response system.
I'm still interested in hearing about it. Just be aware that I'm not
going to let you off the hook about the response system or the economics.
Lots of things are technically feasible until you introduce money into
the equation (see: solar power--for example).
I assert that we could, with quite realizable physical systems, detect
most of the fires in SoCal within a few minutes of their beginning. I
am quite willing, even eager, to discuss how in this forum for all to
criticize.
I'm skeptical. Show me.
However, a new thread on -kooler is called for.
