 ABSTRACT

It has been estimated that two-stroke engines, such as those commonly used in lawnmowers, produce
the emissions equivalent of ten automobile engines run for the same amount of time. The purpose of
this project was to design an improved motor less lawn mower. The lawn mower created was an
innovative design that used wheel rotation to create a reciprocating effect between two cutting blades.
A geared transmission was used to optimize the reciprocating motion of the blades. The designers
will demonstrate the functionality of their novel, energy-efficient lawn mower and hope to raise
awareness regarding eco-friendly alternatives.
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We express our gratitude to our project supervisor Mrs. Zeenath Fathimah, Designation, Mechanical
and Industrial section, Engineering Department, Higher College of Technology, enabling me to complete
this project. We would like to extend our gratitude to Mr. Ranga for all the help and guidance, we were
provided with all the facility that was required.

Introduction
1.1. MAIN HEADING1
Introduction part should contain min. of 5 pages and max. of 10 pages. As mobile electronic devices
become more widely integrated into society, the demand for portable energy sources has drastically
increased. Conventional sources of power such as electrochemical cells are the most prevalent in the portable
power market. Despite their efficiency, batteries’ finite life and chemical composition causes inconveniences
as well as environmental damage.

1.1.1. Different Car Parking Methods

There are different car parking methods. The most common used in our college are the Angle
Parking, Perpendicular Parking and Parallel Parking. Filling a space with one or more of these types of
parking’s depends on the space that is needed to be occupied with parking’s. Each type has its own size and
measurements giving different options to work with. Each of these parking’s will require a different type of
tensile so that it will cover the parking space without complicating the process of parking a car.

1.1.2. Metals Used

There are many types of metals used for car parking, but the most familiar ones currently are GI
Pipes (Galvanized Iron), they have been made by the process of Galvanization which is dipping steel or
iron in zinc to get an extra layer of zinc coating on the metal for protection from rusting and corrosion.

This type of pipes have high longevity and durability and are easy to cut and bend, and the high
resistance to rusting and corrosion. Also, these pipes are easy to weld and fabricate.

Another type of metal is Mild Steel (MS) which is kind of similar to GI Pipes since both have low
carbon and are protected with zinc. This type of pipes have extremely high longevity of more than 100
years and are extremely strong because of their high tensile strength. Also, they are easy to weld and
fabricate just like GI pipes.

1.1.3. Fabrication Process

Car parking manufacturing depends on the design of the parking and the number of the parking of
the parking needed. Further more, car parking shades has different types of metals that cat be made of.
Tensile polycarbonate sheets and fabric is are one of the most common metals used and can withstand
adverse weather conditions.

Petroleum is the largest significant single source of energy surpassing all other sources worldwide
today as per International Energy Agency, World Energy Outlook Report, 2011 as shown in Figure 1.1.
