Design and simulation of Solar Powered Automated Dual Rotor Mechanism for Sugarcane HarvestingBy Sachin S Raj, R A Kapgate, Harshal Darekar, Krishna Darade, Nikita Dongare, Sarthak Narode
Abstract: Sugarcane being the vast cultivated cash crop of India’s agricultural economy has undoubtedly one of the most difficult harvesting processes. The existing mechanisms to harvest sugarcane are costly and are not affordable by rural based farmers. In this project a novel design mechanism is suggested that would serve the purpose of harvesting with least manpower, being cost effective and serving the purpose of cutting, stripping, sorting and loading of the …

Design and Simulation of Solar Powered Semi-Automatic Grass CutterBy Sachin S Raj, R A Kapgate, Kasabe Smitha D, Sakhare Sakshi, Wagh Shantanu S, Pawar Rushikesh S
Abstract: The maintenance of large area of grass lawns has always been a tedious task considering continuous human labour and long hours of work. Inorder to reduce the fatigue human work a novel design of automated grass cutting machine powered with a solar panel is designed and simulated for remote operated functioning. The mechanism works with the skeletal frame of a normal grass cutting machine face lifted with ultrasonic sensor for …
