Abstract:- The objective of this paper is to develop " Solar Multi Functional Agriculture “”Vehicle”. India has always been known for its agricultural products and quality, plus it is one of the key drivers of Indian economy. But since most of the farmers are poor and have smaller farms, there is a need to develop a portable agricultural vehicle which is affordable even for the poor farmers. Also the present agricultural vehicles which are developed have only single functionality i.e. either only seed sowing or water/fertilizer spraying or only ploughing mechanism. The main components of the vehicle are solar panel, battery, DC motor, centrifugal pump. The function of this agricultural vehicle depends on the amount of solar energy that the solar panel receives and this solar energy is used to drive the different parts of the vehicle. The crystal based solar panel is use to charge a rechargeable battery of 12 volts. From the battery the stored electrical energy is sent to DC motor which is used to drive it. The motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy and this energy is used to perform different operations like water spraying, ploughing, seed sowing with the help of switch control mechanism. The power transmission is done by using various gear mechanisms such as simple spur gear and worm and spur gear mechanisms along with chain and sprocket mechanism. This vehicle reduces the human effort in the field of agriculture and finds a solution to increase the mechanization in the fields. This vehicle is mainly useful for small size farms in order to increase the productivity. This vehicle runs on solar energy which is renewable and is easily available. As mentioned above it can perform multiple functions like seed sowing, water spraying, ploughing in a cost effective way. This vehicle makes use of different mechanisms like chain-sprocket mechanism and worm and spur gear mechanisms in order to carry out these operations.
