If you are walking into the wind and tip the umbrella forward so that it is in front of your face. Why doesn't your face feel much wind anymore?Could someone explaine this to me
It has to do with how they work. There are two types of smoke alarms: the ionization type and the photoelectric type. In the ionization detectors, a small amount of radioactive material creates ions which conducts a small current between two plates. Smoke particles (or water droplets) attract the ions, breaking the circuit and triggering the alarm. In the photoelectric detectors, a light beam is sent to a detector. Smoke (or steam) blocks the light and triggers the alarm. Sufficient steam will trigger either type of detector, but the consensus seems to be that the photoelectric type are less sensitive to steam. So, if you have an ionizing smoke detector, you can try replacing it with a photoelectric smoke detector. Or, you can relocate your detector further away from your stove/shower.
Actually I use to have a friend and I think she thought I was a fire hydrant. (No longer a friend)
