Chris, 

Yes, that was me that brought and demonstrated the IR fire detector.  I had it mounted in a metal project box on the hot side of my engine, but it failed shortly thereafter.  My guess is the UVtron photo tube failed.  Replacement sensors were $28/ea at the time, so it has been sitting on the shelf waiting for some time to mess with it again.  

Since I experimented with the first one, the design has been upgraded and the old model is no longer available.  You can purchase the whole kit for $89 at  http://www.acroname.com/robotics/parts/R345-UVTRON-PKG.html .  Just mount it in a robust box with a hole facing the engine and wire it to 12 - 24 volts.  You'll want to put an LED on the panel to warn you in case of fire.

With the recent fire in a turbo rosary canard a few days ago it got me comptemplating such matters again. Especially in a pusher.

Thanks.
