Abstract:
The solar lawn mower is a fully automated grass cutting robotic vehicle powered by solar energy that also avoids obstacles and Is capable of fully automated grass cutting without the need of any human intervention.
The project aims at fabricating a grass cutting machine system which makes the grass cutter-based running through solar energy. Due to the continuous increase in the cost of fuel and the effect of emission of gases from the burnt fuel into the atmosphere, this necessitated the use of the abundant solar energy from the Sun as a source of power to drive a grass cutter.
A solar powered grass cutter was designed and developed, based on the general principle of mowing. This project is deal with designer of solar powered grass cutter comprises of direct current (D.C.) motor, are chargeable battery, solar panel. The solar powered grass cutter is operated by the switch on the board which closes the circuit and allows the flow of current to the motor which in turn drive the blade used for mowing all the switching is automatic and can be done through the smart devices. The battery recharges through the solar charging controller. Performance evaluation of the developed machine was carried out with different types of grasses. The performance is more efficient than conventional rotating cutters. Which require the less energy for cutting the same grass.
