Turn your gas-powered mower into a solar, eco-friendly one in 3 easy steps

Mowing your lawn can be pretty costing, seeing how you spend a lot of mine on the gas and let’s not forget how damaging they are to the environment, being estimated to pollute the air seven times as more as normal vehicles. The solution? Simple, turn your gas-powered mower into a solar based one. This modification takes you through three steps to do just that, including: removing the engine and installing an electric replacement, converting the engine to one powered by solar panels, and installing the solar panel. Expect conversion costs to run around $1,500 though. Read more about the experiment at Hack N Mod.
