For our reverse engineering project, we chose to use the smoke detector. This smoke detector consists of a sensor to detect smoke and a loud electronic buzzer to alert people within the building.

Use a screwdriver to pry open the plastic enclosure. It might be easier to push the buzzer through the hole, if you need extra leverage.

This is the circuit for the smoke detector. It is powered by a 9V battery. The 3 metal leafs are contacts for the buzzer and the bigger leaf is for the test button.

why did you do this do you know how dangerous that is americium 231 is a highly radioactive metal you could HAVE KILLED YOURSELVES
Americium 231 hasn't been confirmed. Ionization smoke alarms contain tiny amounts of americium 241, which is relatively harmless unless you ingest/inhale it, and even then it's potentially carcinogenic, but not carcinogenic enough to cause immediate ill effects.
