I. INTRODUCTION:
Now a days pollution is a major issue for whole world. Pollution is
manmade and can be seen in own homes. In case gas powered lawn movers
due to the emission of the gases it is responsible for pollution. Also the cost of
the fuel is increasing. Hence it is not efficient. So the solar powered lawn
cutters are introduced. Solar powered lawn mover can be described as the
application of solar energy to power an electric motor which in turn rotates a
blade which does the moving of a lawn.
Solar energy is the renewable energy. Motor power push lawn
mowers create noise pollution due to the sound of engine, And local air
pollution due to the combustion in the engine. Also, a motor powered engine
requires periodic maintenance such as changing the engine oil even though
electric lawn mowers are environmentally friendly, they too can be an in
convenience .Along with motor powered lawn mowers, electric lawn mowers
also hazardous and cannot be used by all. The project is an autonomous solar
grass cutter that will allow the user to the ability to their grass with minimal
effort. Hence we design to make a grass cutter without any power source due
to reduce the power consumption.

II. SOLAR GRASS CUTTER:
The grass cutter is made up of an electrical
motor, a battery, an alternator, linear blade, and a link
mechanism

The main components of the solar powered grass cutter are:-

 Solar panels
 Electrical DC motor
 Mechanism used
 Blade
 Batteries
 Sensor
Solar Panel:-

A solar panel is a set of solar photovoltaic module electrically


connected. A photovoltaic module is packaged, connected assembly of
solar cells. The solar panel can be used as component of a larger
photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and
residential applications. Each module is rated by its dc output power
under standard test conditions (etc) and typically ranges from 100 to 320
watts. The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module.
DC motor:-

A DC motor in simple words is a device that converts electrical energy into


mechanical energy it is of vital importance for the industry today ,and is
equally importance for engineers to look into the working principle of DC
motor in details that has been discussed in this article. In order to understand
the operating principle DC motor we need to first look into its constructional
features.
Blades:
A blade is that portion of a tool, weapon or machine with an edge
that is designed to cut materials.
The blade is to be designed in such away with high accuracy because it
is essentially the cutting tool of the mower, a picture of the ordinary
gas mower blade. Various factors governed by the motor speed were
considered in choosing the blade material, they include:
The weight of the blade material
The strength of the blade material
The blade size in length
The blade thickness
Safety to the user
Battery:
Solar cell module produces electricity only when the sun is
shining. They do not store energy. It is necessary to store some of the
energy produced. The most obvious solution is to use batteries. The
batteries are used as a storage device for solar energy which can be further
converted into electrical energy. The only exceptions are isolated sunshine
load such as irrigation pumps or drinking water supplies for storage, for
small units with output less than one kilowatt. Batteries seem to be only
technically and batteries are high in capital costs.
Sensor:-
A Sensor is a device that detects and response to
some type of input from the physical environment. The specific
input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure, or any
one of a great no. Of other environmental phenomenon… in a
mercury - based thermometer, the input is temperature.
Cutting Patterns:
The grass cutters have two types of cutting styles spiral and random.
The user will place the robot. In the center of their lawn and let it cut. To
achieve this cutting pattern both.
Working Principle of Solar Powered Grass Cutter:
The working principle of solar grass cutter is it has a panel
arrangement at an in such a way that can receive solar radiation with high
intensity easily from the sun. The solar panel converts solar energy into
electrical energy. This electrical energy is stored in batteries by using a
solar charger. The main function of the solar charger is to increase the
current from the panel while batteries are charging. The motor is
connected To batteries through connecting wires. Between these
mechanical circuit breaker switch is provided. It starts and stops the
working of the motor. From this motor, power transmits to the mechanism
and this makes the blade to rotate on the shaft this makes to cut the grass.
Advantages:
 Easy to use, because it is cordless.
 With battery powered grass cutter, there is no more messy oil & smelly
gasoline.
 Now we are safety with no pollutants emitted. There are also no air filters &
spark plugs to bother it.
 The cost of electricity to recharge the battery is minimal compared to the
high cost of gasoline, oil, air filters & spark plugs.
 High conversion efficiency.
 Has less moving parts
 Less space required
 Noise less operations so readily accepted in residential areas
Disadvantages:
 The eventually disposal of batteries is problematic.
 The motors in cordless cutter lend to be less powerful than gasoline motors
of the same total weight.
Applications:
The project work is a very useful tool for
 For cricket ground
 For football ground
 All garden
 For agriculture purpose

CONCLUSION:
It consumes non renewable source of energy so total
energy received from son far exceeds our energy demand. It meant to
be an alternate green option to the popular and environment
hazardous gas powered long mover and reduces human effort.

Non skilled person also handle it easily by using simple


switches or by predetermined programming it can be easily handle
and control with in less time span
Result:-
Automated solar grass cutter is a fully automated grass cutting robotic
vehicle powered by solar energy that also avoids the obstacles and is capable of
fully automated grass cutting, without the need of any human interaction the
system uses 6V battery to power the vehicle movement motors as well as the
grass cutter motor. We also use a solar panel to charge the battery so that there
is no need of charging it externally.

Future scope:-
The solar panel can be fixed with sensors. Thus depending upon the
arrangement of the sun the panel will be slanting, such that the sun rays incident
normally at (90 degrees) to the solar panel.

With this the device would be constant capable of trapping solar energy at
times when the strength of the sunlight is less. If the panel used of high watt, then
the machine can be used during night time for garden lightening or room
lightening, because we can accumulate more power.
