Design and Construction of an Electric and Solar Hybrid Tiller

Abstract

Agriculture has been a fundamental component of the human ecology. Nonetheless, conventional agricultural practices need substantial human labor and are time-consuming. Tilling is among the most labor-intensive activities in agriculture. Manually tiling fields is an arduous labor, but tractors need substantial investment and incur significant fuel expenses. This economical, battery-operated portable electric cultivator is a contemporary, comprehensive answer for enhancing traditional agricultural practices, as it diminishes manual labor at little expense via a motorized tillage system. The electric cultivator minimizes processing time and expenses with its intelligent portable design, hence enhancing production and efficiency in agriculture. The apparatus employs a wheel with fused corners to provide an effective traction on the surface. The wheel design was created to provide a robust hold on the ground sufficient to pull the cultivator prongs during tillage. A switch located on the handle is used to deactivate the machine. The apparatus is operated by an electric motor that utilizes a toothed chain to propel the driving wheel. A battery powers the motor, enabling it to lift the forks off the ground. The three tines of the cultivator provide precise and efficient agricultural operations. The lightweight and portable design facilitates precise directional control of the equipment during operation. It may be conveniently moved by vehicle or manually for the conveyance of machinery. Consequently, the electric tiller offers a sophisticated and unique fuel-free solution for cultivating fields and gardens.
