Battery-powered Lawnmower (Bosch)

A National STEM Learning Centre and Network Engineering Case Studies resource investigating battery powered lawnmowers and their potential environmental impact.

Lawnmowers have come a long way since they were a mechanical cutter being pushed along by hand. A smart battery (like in your mobile phone) lets you roam free from the plug (and stops you getting electrocuted).

Importantly, this helps reduce environmental impact. The students can use the resources to compare different types of device to find out which really is the 'greenest'.
