A Detailed Study on Design and Fabrication of an Efficient Handling Water Weed Removing Machine

The most known free-floating perennial aquatic plant is Water hyacinth, which is thick, broad, shiny, ovate leaves. It may rise above the surface of the water as much as one meter in height. The leaves are 10 to 20 cm acros, and float above the water surface. They have long, spongy and bulbous stalks. The feathery, freely hanging roots are purple-black. An erect stalk supports a single spike of 8 to 15 conspicuously attractive flowers, mostly lavender to pink in color with six petals. When not in bloom, water hyacinth may be mistaken for frog's-bit. These water weeds would consume large volume of water to grow which is major concern in today world where the water availability if reduced. One of the fastest growing plants known, water hyacinth reproduces primarily by way of runners or stolons, which eventually form daughter plants. Each plant can produce thousands of seeds each year, and these seeds can remain viable for more than three decades. So far the lake water cleaning process has been carried out only by using man power. This project deals with the design and fabrication of an efficient handling water weed removing machine. It has been proposed with an idea to reduce the working time, by remote control operation of the machine for water weed removing. The water weeding machines are designed and implemented with the concern of human ease of handling through controlling the water weed removal using smart phones. The experimental scenario proves the efficient handling of water weed removal machine. In the further scenario, “Engine is to be set for effective weed removal operation and Profile of the weed remover blades should be optimized”.
