This gas detection system comes in three forms. The first one consist of and indicator connected with a wire to the weighing balance with the use of electrical energy as the basic power source. The second form has all the component of the first except for the fact that it uses solar energy as its power source. The third form is wireless and uses sensors in the place of wires. Sensor are used to connect the indicator to the weighing balance. A gas level indicator is also an additional compnent to this third form.
