ABSTRACT

This project aims to design and prototype a solar-powered, battery-operated grass cutter equipped with a shearing blade mechanism. Traditional grass cutting equipment often relies on fossil fuels, posing environmental and operational challenges. The proposed grass cutter addresses these concerns by harnessing renewable solar energy and incorporating advanced blade technology for efficient and eco-friendly grass cutting.

The key objectives of the project include designing a lightweight chassis to accommodate the solar panel, battery pack, and cutting mechanism, integrating high-efficiency solar panels, developing a rechargeable battery system for energy storage, implementing a shearing blade mechanism for precise cutting, and ensuring user safety through ergonomic design and safety features.

The grass cutter's innovative features include solar-powered operation for zero emissions and reduced operating costs, a rechargeable battery system for uninterrupted operation, a shearing blade mechanism for precise cuts, ergonomic design for user comfort, and safety features to prevent accidents.

Overall, the project aims to provide a cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable alternative to traditional grass cutting equipment, contributing to environmental conservation and promoting eco-friendly landscaping practices.
