Fish Feeding Boat using BLDC Motor for Aqua Applications

Fish are supplied by weight in aquaculture industry. The fish must swim in order to gain weight when meal is supplied, which is tossed at various spots throughout the pond. The issue is how to disperse fishmeal throughout the pond and create a system that allows the fish to travel across the pond and gain maximum bodyweight. The system consists primarily of a boat with an integrated container for loading fish feed. To drive the boat BLDC motor is used due its numerous advantages than other motors. Supply to the motor is taken through batteries and converted in to required form with the help of BLDC controller. This paper showcases the design of low cost high efficient BLDC motor based aerator float for fish feeding in aquaculture.
