CONTENTS

• Abstract. • History. • Introduction.• Working procedure.• Advantages and limitations. • Applications.• Conclusion.• References.

ABSTRACT• During the period 2000 to 2014 farmers

survey by NSS 70% are small farmer in India. Energy demand is one of the major threads for our country.

• Finding solutions, to meet the “Energy demand is great challenge for Scientist, Engineers.

• According to them, Applications of Non conventional energy is the only alternate solution for conventional energy demand.

INTRODUCTION

• Now-a-days employing this Non- conventional energy becomes very popular for all kinds of development activities.

• One of the major area, which finds number applications are in Agriculture Sectors.

• Solar energy plays an important role in agriculture Sector.

• This Technology can be extended for spraying chemicals on the plants using Solar Sprayers.

HISTORY• Himel Melton in 1969 he founded that

use of Pesticide application refers to the practical way in terms of effective dose transfer to a crop. • In the form of a seed treatment, or

coating, to protect plant from insects. • additionally, these coatings can provide

supplemental chemicals and nutrients designed to encourage growth of the plants.

TYPES OF SPRAYER1. HAND OPERATED SPRAYER

2. FUEL OPERATED SPRAYER

SAFETY PRECAUTION •All chemicals products harmful to humans and wildlife.• they are kept out of reach of wildlife, pets and children.

FURTHER SPRAYED BY TRACTOR AND PLANE

SOLAR POWERED SPRAYER

ACTUAL LOOK SPRAYER

WORKING PROCEDURE • Body of the sprayer is made of aluminum

frame and aluminum bars to keep the weight of the machine low.

• In this frame on top end a solar photovoltaic panel is fixed that converts solar power into electricity.

• This electricity is then provided to battery via a charging circuit. .

• Electric power from this battery is given to an electric motor.

• To the shaft of this electric motor a blower fan is connected. This blower blows high speed air into the blower pipe and reservoir is connected to the blower pipe.

• The flow of mixed (water and chemical) liquid is controlled by value.

MERITS • It is a renewable energy source.• No air pollution & noise.• work 3 hours after fully charged.• Do not required fuel hence cost reduce

for spraying.• Easy in construction & economical• Solar energy is totally free, widely

available.

Limitations

• initial cost for solar system is high.• Weather Dependent.• it required energy storing device.

APPLICATIONS

• Mainly used in Agriculture Sectors for spraying chemicals on the plant.

• It is also used automotive industry for spaying paint.

CONCLUSION• Aim of this project is to fulfill the tasks

spraying chemicals on the plants using non-conventional energy sources.• As we know 70% of population of our country

lives in villages & their main occupation is agriculture.• solar operated spray will help the farmers

of those remote areas of country where fuel is not available easily. • They can perform their regular work as well

as saves fuel.
