  • Systems and methods for wildfire smoke generation and electronics testing
    Patent number: 12270751
    Abstract: A first chamber is configured to generate smoke from combustion of a combustible material within the first chamber. A second chamber is configured to house an electronic device. The first chamber and the second chamber are fluidly connected. The apparatus further includes an air pump configured to move the smoke generated in the first chamber into the second chamber. While the air pump is in operation, the electronic device in the second chamber is exposed to the smoke generated in the first chamber. The second chamber is further configured with an exhaust such that the smoke generated in the first chamber moves through the second chamber and out of the second chamber via the exhaust.
