The more I think about lawn mowers, the more interesting concepts seem to rush towards me :) Here's one of them: YouTube - Remote Control Mower from Inside House Mowing the lawn while you stay inside the house seems like a cool idea for retired people, don't you think? This is perfect for...

I found a rather controversial article: http://www.life123.com/home-garden/landscaping/lawn-care/green-your-lawn-mowing.shtml It says . . . Is that right? I know lawn mowers emit pollution but I have never imagined it to be more polluting than a car. I wonder how big the "average gas-powered...

I'm from a tropical country so this question really does not apply to me. But at least for academic reasons, I am curious why gas must not stay in a lawn mower all winter. What is the thinking here? I am sure I'm missing something.

Despite all the environmental movement that speak ill of any gas-powered technology, I can see that lawn mowers are here to stay. That would be true not just in western countries but in third world countries as well, whose tastes go up in time. Environmentalists cringe at the thought of that...

I think all the "green" and "electric" discussions are getting into me now. But I get this feeling that the future of lawn mowers is in robotics. Equipment is lighter, therefore it requires less power to run. With no human load, it will also have more chances of going completely on battery power.

It just occurred to me that homes excrete a lot of wastes. In fact, there are threads in this forum that talk about composting. What little I know about composting is that it emits methane, which some people catch and convert into fuel. I know for a fact that sedans now use LPG. Can methane be...
