Trinity College has had its proud shares of young innovators in the past. Two very creative and inventive students from Grade 6 and 7 respectively namely Master Viduna Rathnasiri and Master Sharlene Bandara have developed an Automatic Plant Watering system and an Arduino Pesticide Spray car respectively.
Automatic Plant Watering System
To water plants, it is indispensable to have a knowledge about the relevant weather factors which authorize the system to pour the required amount of water.
This project which is designed by the very intelligent and clever Master Viduna Rathnasiri allows the watering mechanism to measure the amount of water which is required to the plot using a soil moisture sensor. The beneficial fact of the system is that it will operate like a closed loop system to avoid any damages at the crops due to high water content in the soil.
Material Used
Arduino Nano IC, Soil Moisture Sensate, Thermistor, 1kOhm resistor, Dot board, half of a Soleroid Valve and some wires.
Arduino Pesticide Spray Car
This excellent innovation can take off pesticides which control pests without any direct control of the humans, resulting in a greater and successful harvest. Developed to make the life of the every-day farmer easier, this device is certainly a one which is awe-inspiring.
The innovative and talented student who is behind this productive invention is Master Sharlene Bandara.
Material Used
Arduino Board, IR Sensors, Wheels, Gear Motors, Wires, Code Wire, Pesticide liquid, Bouth, Lead, Glue Stick, Switch and Lead.
The principled inspiration for the above innovations was none other than to make the life of the farmer an easier one. It is a very conscientious fact to help these gifted masterminds to become great and valuable inventors and we wish them all the best with their future endeavours.
We also thank Mr. Mohamed Inzimam and Mr. Wasana Dissanayake who guided these students to create such handy products.
