EcoMow is your futuristic self guided and self fueled robotic lawn mower 02/18/2014 - 00:00 EcoMow is a group of engineers and business students from George Mason University. We are developing a platform for harvesting and processing grassy biomass, and a fuel system technology to take advantage of the produced pellet fuel. This technology will be attractive to multiple market segments, and the value will be different for each segment.By lowering the cost barrier to using biomass fuel sources, we hope to provide an eco-friendly renewable solid fuel technology that can be retrofitted into existing vehicles. In established economies we can significantly shift energy use from fossil fuels to biomass sources while lowering the energy cost.Commercial mowing operations will realize an immediate benefit in reduction of labor and elimination of fuel costs, and a higher profit margin from resale of processed biomass. In developing economies we can lower the barrier to implementing local fuel production sources for power, heating, and equipment.READ MORE
