Now that's GREEN energy! Robotic lawnmower uses the grass it cuts as fuel .... So reports the Daily Mail :)

That's it guys. May as well pack up the mower fleet and go find another job if we can believe the Daily Mail....Anyway reminds of something out of Futurama ;)"Now that's GREEN energy! Robotic lawnmower uses the grass it cuts as fuel....

  • U.S. students have created an autonomous machine that cuts grass autonomously using Google Maps as a guide
  • Built upon the body of an electric toy car, the clever vehicle is able to convert grass pellets into fuel, using a small biomass gasifier
  • The vehicle is a prototype and its designers are eager to raise money to put the lawnmower into production

Mowing the lawn can be tedious, but that could change if an eco-friendly prototype robot is widely adopted.

U.S. students have created an autonomous machine that not only cuts grass in a specified area, but uses the waste cuttings to power itself – saving you both time and money.

The E-Mow is built upon the body of an electric toy car, but the clever vehicle is able to convert grass pellets into fuel, using a small biomass gasifier - a type of furnace that converts organic matter into gas.
