I think there's an energy balance error here: unless the grass being clipped is already dry, the latent heat of evaporation of the moisture in the grass will be greater than the energy available from burning the grass. |

You are not alone in this. [link] |

It could never be done. Lawnmowers have existed
long enough, every advancement that is to be made
in them can already be expected to have been made.
Sorry [-] |

This is the kind of statement which should weigh heavily on the mind of any halfbaker, and might even be considered herecy within the context of the halfbakery. |

The humble lawnmower has been the incubator for many wonderful shed inventions. To most shed enthusiasts, it is the closest and simplest IC engine and therefore a ready test bed for one's halfbaked ideas. |

The hypocycloidal crank engine was developed by a guy in a shed. The first prototype was a modified lawnmower engine, subsequently used to mow the lawn. |

My mower has a 240V generator attached, to run a strimmer where ther is no power available. This idea was described on HB. |

I suspect the size and throughput of the gasifier would require that it be static. An automaton mower could still return to it with clippings and to re-fuel. |

It would be neat if the whole thing was self-
sustaining. Cut, load, cut load, and tied into GPS,
leaving no ash because it was offloaded in front of
the blades. |

That would be an advancement that had not yet
been made. |
