Solar Spray Mechanism

Description

Most of the increase in the area of irrigated land in the world has been through the increasing use of engine-driven pumps. However, the increasing price of oil-based fuel has reduced the margin to be gained by farmers from irrigation, since food prices have generally been prevented from rising in line with energy costs. Despite present short-term fluctuations in oil prices, conventional oil-based engine-driven power sources and mains electricity are expected to continue to increase in the longer term. If we are to decrease our dependence on imported oil, we have to find methods for energizing irrigation pumps that are independent of imported oil or centralized electricity.

“Energy - demand” is one the major thread for our country. Finding solutions, to meet the “Energy - demand” is a great challenge for Social scientists, Engineers, Entrepreneurs and Industrialists of our Country. According to them, Applications of Nonconventional energy is the only alternate solution for conventional energy demand. Nowadays the Concept and Technology employing this Non-conventional energy becomes very popular for all kinds of development activities. One of the major areas, which finds a number of applications are in the Agriculture Sectors.

Solar radiation as a source of energy is clean. Sustainable energy technology except for residues possibly arising out of the manufacture of solar components (e.g. semiconductors), solar technology has very low environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of the solar system in operation are very low and the source is, for us inexhaustible.

Solar energy plays an important role in drying agriculture products and for irrigation purposes for pumping the well water in remote villages without electricity. This Technology on solar energy can be extended for spraying pesticides, Fungicides and Fertilizers, etc., using Solar Sprayers.
