Virginia students launch EcoMow, a mower powered by its own cut grass

In Virginia, a group of students from George Mason University have developed EcoMow, a platform for harvesting and processing grassy biomass, and a fuel system technology to take advantage of the produced pellet fuel. EcoMow is a small self-fueled mower and grass pellet harvester. It uses the grassy biomass that it harvests as fuel, and processes the biomass that it does not use into a dried pellet form which can be used for other applications such as heating or power generation. By lowering the cost barrier to using biomass fuel sources, they hope to provide an eco-friendly renewable solid fuel technology that can be retrofitted into existing vehicles.
