Believe it or not, thanks to Manoj Jhade, a Maharashtra-based investor, solar powered robots are all set to scare the hell out of crows. And in this process farmers can increase their productivity. Farmers just need "proper motivation and awareness" to adopt theese life-like scarecrows says the inventor.
Jhade, a professor at the K.K Wagh Institute of Engineering, saw the plight of farmers and thought of bringing his own mini revolution in the country's villages by devising the solar-powered scarecrow.His model comprises of a number of electronic "guns" and a micro-controller. These guns are nothing but electronic circuits fitted with amplifiers, which produce a sound similar to the firing of a gun as soon as its switched on. The micro-controller fitted within the scarecrow controls the firing of the guns. The system is programmed in such a way that it starts firing from all the guns at the same time or one after the other. The interval between two friings can also be controlled by the micro-controller, which issues start and stop commands to the guns.
