Abstract: Nowadays, the gasoline prices are increased day by day, and demand for gasoline also increased. Due to burning the fuel in the atmosphere high pollution occurs. When high pollution occurs, human health conditions will be damaged. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy; by using solar energy, pollution will not occur. In earlier days, people used grass cutters, which are run by fuel, so pollution occurred. On the advancement of technology, day by day, new technologies are introduced. This design uses solar panel, microcontroller and ultrasonic sensor are used for the process. By using this technology, human effort will be reduced, time will be reduced, and cost will also be reduced.
+ In the above journal they done their project by manual, it is a manual solar grass cutter and does not contain solar panel.
Keywords: Microcontroller, solar energy, ultrasonic sensor, motor.
In this paper, we developed a solar grass cutter using advanced microcontroller. In this solar grass cutter, it is completely automated; it does not need any mortal trouble. It operates with a battery energy, the energy of battery is drawn from a solar panel. Battery is used to store electrical energy temporarily. Then substantially an ultrasonic detector is used; by using this detector obstacles will be avoided; it is substantially used to descry the obstacles, and when it found any obstacles, it stops the work, then two motors are used to move from one place to another place, and it's also known as bus. Another motor is used for trimming the grass with respect to the comment. Motors are used to drive the current from the microcontroller, The current from the microcontroller is not enough, so a motor driver circuit is used to increase the current position depends upon motor specification. Rechargeable battery is used because we need to store the energy again and again, then the battery may be a lithiumion battery or Lead- acid batteries are used for processing because they're most effective.
3. PROBLEM SOLVEMENT: In the above journal they done manual grass cutter, by using that human effort needed and time taken to complete the process is more, to avoid that microcontroller is used. Due to using this Human effort will be reduced
4. METHODOLOGY:
1. INTRODUCTION: Pollution is the major issue in this world. Mainly pollution occurs due to vehicles and surroundings. Fuel usage increases the energy pollution day by day. In order to prevent pollution, usage of fuel consumption will be reduced, and usage of fuel-energy-based vehicles and components will be reduced. Solar energy is the renewable energy it is drawn by the sun. By using solar cells, which absorbs the photo energy from sun and coverts it into proper electrical signal. The solar energy can be stored in batteries whenever we need to use the energy we can use by batteries, and that depends upon the work. The grass cutter plays an important role in cutting grass at school, college, industries, gardens, grounds, pitches, etc. In earlier days, people were using scissors and manual grass-cutting machines for cutting the grass. In recent days the technology has been developed, so due to using manual grass cutters, human effort is needed, more time, fuel needed, so a solar-based grass cutter is introduced. In this technology, solar panels are used to convert the photon energy into electrical energy, which is stored by batteries, ultrasonic Sensors are used to detect the obstacles. Advanced microcontroller is used for processing. By using this technology, we can be able to reduce human effort and time taken for process.
