Completed Projects

Background

Farmers carry hefty weight tank on their back and splash the manure by strolling starting with one end then onto the next end. It requires a lot of time to splash the whole field. Due to this, they are getting different medical issues like Respiratory issues, skin sickness, Back torment and so on.

Solution

This solar-powered manure tank is convenient for spreading compost in fields because we included wheels for portability and it also uses solar energy, which is a sustainable source of energy. Moreover, it has three shower heads with separate spouts.

 Background

Our main aim was to improve the livelihood of farmers, therefore we interacted with few of them. The  primary work for an farmer and cattlemen  in their dairy farm is to clean the excreta and other waste. Due to conventional methods they are facing physical strain and medical issues and alsowasting the excreta of the cow and buffalo. Limited products to help small scale dairy farms is the root cause for this problem.

Solution

As a result we developed  a prototype of mechanical scraper as it is satisfying our objectives. The device is operated using levers. It has a scrapping plate, storage tank and its door connected to levers. When pressure is applied on the lever the scraper pushes the waste into the container and when pressure is released the container’s opening closes. So, the farmer must just push the device and operate the levers. We also planned to introduce other variants whose prototypes have been developed and tested, according to the requirements of the user example: Remote controlled, semi – electronic etc.(This form is limited to mechanical scraper)
