| Summary: | This thesis reports design and analysis of solar powered oil palm harvester. The palm
harvester is designed to be powered by solar panel mainly due to pollution caused by
motorized cutters. Improvisation was done to sickle shape and the cutter is suitable to
use in palm estates during the day. The design can work on short and medium types of
palm trees and terrain. Suitable blade shape and pole material were identified. Several
processes and methods of customer requirement, engineering requirement, House of
quality(HOQ), morphological method and pugh matrix were used before final design
selection. |
