This project is about helping farmers to spray fertilizer and pesticide more efficiently. Nowadays, there are various types of spray tool to use such as knapsack motorized sprayer. But, all the spray tool has a problem. The problem with all various type of spray tool is the user needs a lot of energy to carry the knapsack or spray tool on their shoulder. It will hurt the user’s spine and fatigue from carrying the heavy tool spray. As a result, we come up with a project called Pumpnetic. The Pumpnetic is a combination of a pump with a kinetic energy that created by pushing or pulling the Pumpnetic. Also, this project has helped other user to ease their fertilizing or pesticide work such as at India and Bangladesh who do not have enough money to buy the spray tool. Our team try to come up with similar solutions and implement it here to help users for example farmers to work more efficiently. The design of the Pumpnetic has been chosen by morphological analysis and pugh chart method. This product is made of materials that are affordable and common material that are easy to find such as plastic, stainless steel plate, brake, tires and other. The Pumpnetic tank can carry up to 20 liters of water-based fertilizer or pesticide at one time which it can cover more area compared to other spray tools which have a small tank. As a result, it does not always need to refill
