FABRICATION OF SOLAR GRASS CUTTER
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Nowadays pollution is a major
issue for whole world. Pollution is manmade and can be seen in
own homes, industries, and power plants. In case Gas powered
lawn mowers due to the emission of gases it is responsible for
pollution. Also the cost of fuel is increasing hence it is not efficient
and battery type equipment is also extra cost of power. So the
Solar powered lawn cutters are introduced. Solar powered lawn
mower can be described as the application of solar energy to
power an electric motor which in turn rotates a blade which does
the mowing of a lawn. Solar energy is the renewable energy.
Grass cutter or lawn mowing with a standard motor powered
lawn mower is an inconvenience, and no one takes pleasure in it.
Cutting grass cannot be easily accomplished by elderly, younger,
or disabled people. Motor powered push lawn mowers and riding
lawnmowers create noise pollution due to the loud 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 inconvenience. Along
with motor powered lawn mowers, electric lawn mowersare also
hazardous and cannot be easily used by all. Also, if the electric
lawn mower is corded,mowing could prove to be problematic and
dangerous. The selfpropelling electric remotecontrol lawn mower
is a lawn mower that has remote control capability. This

prototype is robotic user friendly, cost efficient, safe to use,
efficient to use, and environmentally friendly. Itcan save
significantly on labor costs.
