Design and fabrication of multi utility motorcycle for agricultural purpose

Mechanical Engineering, Agriculture

The main objective of designing and fabrication of multi utility motorcycle is to provide farmers an ease of doing various operations in any place at any time. The few commonly performed operations by farmers are water pumping using conventional water pump, cutting grass manually and spreading fertilizers by hand or by tractor. Farmers find it difficult to use different machines for these operations. It also increases the cost for performing the operations individually. The multi utility motorbike will aid farmers perform the mentioned operation at ease and economically. The 0.5 HP water pump to pump the water, grass cutter assembly and fertilizer spreader assembly will be attached to Pulsar 150 cc motorcycle using frames as a support. The power to run these components will be derived from the IC engine of the motorcycle. The ignition and combustion of the petrol occurs within the engine. The expanding combustion gases push the piston which in turn rotates the crankshaft. Ultimately, through the system of gears in the powertrain, this motion drives the motorcycle wheels. The power is transferred from motorcycle to these components through chain drives and bevel gears. Thus using multi utility motorcycle, farmers can pump water, cut grass and spread fertilizers, one at a time using a single source which saves both money and time.
