This paper proposes the design, development, and preliminary testing of a solar-powered grass cutter.Per the paper, the prototype uses a 12 V, 25 W solar panel, a 3.7 V and 12 Ah battery, 12 V and 60 RPM drive motor, and a 12 V and 20000 RPM cutting motor. An operator could control the machine with a ceThe battery could be charged by the solar panel or an external charger. The prototype’s cutting width was 20 cm, it ran for 2-3 hours per charge, and it would reportedly cost ₹10,000-12,000 to make. It was tested on lawn grass in about 3 or 4 trials, one of which it worked for 15 minutes, and the ultrasonic sensor could reportedly detect barriers up to 70-80 cm away. However, the paper still needs clarification on how long it takes to charge and the battery configuration. All things considered, this project was a promising demonstration of a machine that combines mechanical fabrication, renewable energy, and embedded electronics to reduce the drudgery of human labor. ll phone through the ESP32 and Bluetooth.
KEYWORDS
The primary limitations of this research are the lack of information on the complete battery-pack rating, inadequate charging records, insufficient test conditions, and the absence of repeated numerical measurements of cutting performance or obstacle detection. A solar grass cutter was assembled and tested utilizing a photovoltaic panel, battery, ESP32 development board, electric motors, control via Bluetooth from a cell phone and means of detecting obstacles by ultrasonic sensors. The specifications cited include a 20-cm cutting width, running time of the machine for 2–3 hours, battery charge time of 30–45 minutes and an estimated cost of construction at ₹10,000–₹12,000. Experiments were carried out on lawn grass and repeated, approximately, three to four times, with one of them lasting 15 minutes, and the distance of obstacle detection reached up to roughly 40-50 cm.
