Fabrication of Power Weeder Machine

Abstract

A weeder is a machine used in agricultural fields to remove the weeds, which are unnecessary crops that hinder the growth of crops. The weeder which is operated with the gasoline engine is called a power weeder. The power weeder has the problem of pollution and excess vibration. To overcome these issues the power weeder is to be converted to an electrically operated system. So here the existing gasoline engine is replaced with a motor for drive and batteries for power source. The gearbox has a forward and reverse gear arrangement. The battery source is given to the motor for drive. A lead-acid battery setup with 4numbers each of 12vcapacity is used. The operating life of the battery is around200-300rechargecycles.
