Sir, i am a student of B.tech final year in Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering and i am working on a project named "SOLAR POWERED AUTOMATIC LAWN MOWER" and for this i need some technical guidance for my further work. I have worked upon the stepper motors which i am using for wheels of mower but i need some advice for cutting motor (motor used for cutting the grass), and i want to use a dc motor for this purpose. kindly suggest me about the specifications of dc motor (i.e. rpm, current consumption, voltage consumtion etc etc. ). Kindly furnish me with the following details.

Hello and welcome to the Old Lawnmower Club,
Re your search for information about solar powered mowers I would think that a trip to your local Husqvarna mower dealer would be good place to seek some information, I believe Husqvarna have been making solar powered mowers for some years now and may be prepared to help if explain your situation, alternatively you could contact Husqvarna UK direct.
Interestingly I seem to remember seeing the Husqvarna robot mower demonstrated when I was a teenager - that would be well over 40 years ago so if anyone still has one of these mowers tucked away in a shed could it now qualify as an 'Old Lawn Mower'?
Good luck with your project and I hope you find the info that you are looking for.
Ray.
