Implementation of an electronic indicator of gas level in closed containers with social network connectivity

According to the World Bank (WB) report about the role of liquefied petroleum gas in reducing energy poverty report, approximately 110 developing countries uses liquefied gas for cooking and other activities. In México the National Population Council (CONAPO) based on the INEGI’s report approximately 50% of homes consumes liquefied gas for water heating, calefaction and cooking.The evolution of mobile devices aims for the integration of themselves to our daily activities, people electronics devices such as tablets and smartphones to check their social network status, entertainment or time management, however it’s possible to expand this spectrum of use by incorporating electronic interfaces to our home devices.The objective of this research is to acquire and register the levels of a cylindrical gas tank and gas leaks using an electronic interface paired with a mobile device and a server to prevent gas mileage by measuring the tank level. The output of the system is a message to the user smartphone through a social network.
