Design and Fabrication of Solar Grass Cutter

Rapid growth of various high-tech tools and equipments makes our jobs done comfortable and sophisticated. The project aims at fabricating a grass cutting machine system which makes the grass cutter based Motor 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 seminar is deal with designer of solar powered grass cutter comprises of direct current (D.C) motor, are chargeable battery, solar panel, a stainless steel blade and control switch. 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. The battery recharges through the solar charging controller. Performance evaluation of the developed machine was carried out with different types of grasses.
