Abstract:
Our goal is to create a water-efficient sprinkler for residential gardens that is easy to use and responsive to weather conditions. The package comes with two wind sensors - i.e. wind vane and anemometer, which are mounted on a pole. The pole can be placed anywhere in the garden as long as the portable sprinkler stays within a range of 100m. When switched on, the controller on the sprinkler gets continuously updated with the current wind speed and direction using wireless transceivers. The sprinkler can also be controlled through an app on a smartphone. Simple commands such as ON/OFF switch, as well as timers for autonomous watering are possible to set up. For example, setting up the system to water the garden at sunrise, which has been suggested by experts as the most effective time to irrigate plants. Morning irrigation, on the one hand, supplies the grass and plants with enough water to sustain high temperature during the daytime and on the other hand, prevents fungal disease growth and different insects from harming the plants during the night by reducing moisture. Therefore, our sustainable irrigation system not only takes into consideration water conservation, but also provides best methods for having healthy plants in a garden. Our competitive advantage is that our sprinkler is made of durable materials and will save household costs as a long-term investment with efficient water usage methods. There are no other sprinklers in Germany that match our design and usability, which makes our product unique in the market. We will start production and sales in Germany with plans to later expand into the European, North American, and Asia-Pacific region.
