Design and Working of Solar Sprayer Pump for Agriculture

Abstract

The energy crisis fuel, resources depletion and, pollution these three are the major challenges in front of today’s world. The green energy generation from the existence resources is the new  thought and which become possible by using non-conventional energy sources and one the option out of solar, wind and bio mass is Solar energy which can be easily converted in electricity using a new concept. Solar sprayer is a perfect option for conventional pesticide sprayers. Solar powered sprayer can be used as a fuel alternating device as the cost of fuel is increasing every passing day. It is created with certain modifications on the existing power sprayer in the market. The solar pesticide sprayer needs initial investment of RS 10000 and its yearly maintenance can be RS 500-700 .Solar sprayers can be also used as Energy Alternate Devices. For agriculture use Fuel operating system is changed into Free energy operating system. The conventional sprayer has problems like it takes more struggle to push the liver up and down to create the pressure to spray. Another problem of petrol pesticide sprayer is it runs on fuel, so due to additional cost of fuel the maintenance of sprayer also running cost is more. So as to conquer these problems, we have proposed a Multiple Power supplied Fertilizer Sprayer. This can be operated using solar energy during the daylight , otherwise it can be operated using the electricity supply. The main advantages of the presented system are the running cost reduces to minimum and also time saving. The objective of present project work is to make a solar pesticide sprayer which directly uses solar energy and convert it into electricity as well as run the pump through it as well as directly operating the pump using without the battery interaction.
