Grass Cutter

This document describes a solar-powered grass cutting machine created by a team of 6 students guided by Mrs. B. Lakshmi. The grass cutter uses solar panels to charge a battery that powers a DC motor and rotating blades. It has components like a frame, solar panels, battery, motor, charge controller and blades. The working involves the solar panels converting sunlight to electricity which charges the battery and powers the motor and blades to cut grass. Advantages are no fuel use and low costs, while disadvantages include manual operation and high initial investment.

ABSTRACT
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.
Power consumption becomes essential for future. Solar grass
cutter is a very useful device which is very simple in construction
INTRODUCTION
 The grass cutter is made up of an DC motor, a battery, Charge
controller, Two rotational blades and solar panels.
 The solar plates comprises of an alternator which charges the
battery while in operation.
 The D.C. Motor forms the heart of the machine and provides
the driving force for the rotational blades.
COMPONENTS USED
 Frame
 Solar panels
 Battery
 DC motor
 Charge controller
 Blades
SOLAR PANEL
 The solar panels are used to generate electric power from solar energy.
 The photo-voltaic effect can be observed in nature in a variety of materials that have
shown that the best performance in sunlight is the semiconductors as stated above.
 In our project we used 3 panels, Each one having capacity of 12 volts
BATTERY
 The batteries are used as a storage device for solar energy which can be further
converted into electrical energy.
 In our project We are used 12v & 30-40AH battery.
Brushless DC motor
 A DC motor is a mechanically commutated electric motor powered from direct
current (DC). The stator is stationary in space by definition and therefore so is its
current.
 DC motors have a rotating armature winding.
 Advantages of brushless motors include long life span, little or no maintenance, and
high efficiency. Disadvantages include high initial cost, and more complicated motor
speed controllers.
 We used 12v pony motor
Charge controller
The charge controller or control panel has commonly two functions
primary function: First, it provides a central point for connecting module and the
battery.
Secondly, it manages the system so that the load, the produced electricity is effectively
used, and so that components are protected from damage due to changing voltage
levels.
The charge controller act as a junction box.
WORKING OF SOLAR GRASS
CUTTER
 The grass cutter is made up of an DC motor and a battery, a charge controller,
rotational blade.
 The solar plates comprises of an alternator which charges the battery while in
operation.
 The DC motor forms the heart of the machine and provides a rotational force for the
blade.
 The working principle of solar grass cutter is it has panels in a particular
arrangement at an in such a way that it can receive solar radiation with high intensity
easily from the sun.
 These solar panels convert the solar energy into electrical energy.
 It cuts the lawn by using rotational force by using charged battery.

ADVANTAGES
 No fuel consumption.
 Easy to move from one place to another place.
 Operating principle is simple.
 Non-skilled person also operate this machine.
 Running cost is less.
DISADVANTAGES
 Manually operated.
 Difficult to operate in rainy seasons
 Investment cost is high.
CONCLUSION
 The solar powered Grass cutter will meet the challenge of environmental production
and low cost of operation since there is no cost for fuelling.
 A solar powered lawn mower has been developed for the use of residences and
establishments that have lawns where tractor driven mowers could not be used.
 The machine has proved to be a possible replacement for the gasoline powered lawn
mowers.
