Abstract

The project aims at designing and fabricating a solar grass cutter with water spraying system using Solar power to reduce man power, pollution and usage of electricity in gardening. Both the grass cutting and the water spraying application can be executed in parallel.

The residing values and affluence of a country range at once with the growth with the usage of power. Worlds electricity requirement is growing at an alarming price because of commercial growth, improved and huge use of electrical gadgets. The high-quality alternative opportunity supply is from the sun energy. In this design the source energy is ambitious from the sun radiation by using PV panels and it is stored in 12V rechargeable DC battery.

The proposed proto-vehicle performs two operations that are controlled using a switch. The first operation is grass cutting, the grass cutting blade is connected with a DC Motor. The second operation is the spreading of water/pesticide, here we use a water pump connected to the spreading nozzle by the means of hoses. 

We use solar power to recharge the battery. The grass cutter and vehicle motors are interfaced to a motor driver that controls the working of all the motors. The Node MCU helps in the movement of vehicle in convenient direction.

Then incline fiber plate is kept on a body, then on incline fiber plate solar panel is kept. Which transmit solar energy & then solar energy is converted into electrical energy & electrical energy is converted in to mechanical energy. This electrical energy is transmitted to electric motor.

On the shaft of the electric motor a blade is connected having cutting edge which cut’s the grass.
