A lawn mower (mower, etc) is a machine utilizing one or more revolving blades to cut a grass surface to an even height.

The height of the cut grass may be fixed by the design of the mower, but generally is adjustable by the operator, typically by a single master lever, or by a lever or nut and bolt on each of the machine's wheels.

The blades may be powered by muscle, with wheels mechanically connected to the cutting blades so that when the mower is pushed forward, the blades spin, or the machine may have a battery-powered or plug-in electric motor.

The most common power source for lawn mowers is a small (typically one cylinder) internal combustion engine.

Smaller mowers often lack any form of propulsion, requiring human power to move over a surface; "walk-behind" mowers are self-propelled, requiring a human only to walk behind and guide them.

Larger lawn mowers are usually either self-propelled "walk-behind" types, or more often, are "ride-on" mowers, equipped so the operator can ride on the mower and control it.

A robotic lawn mower ("lawn-mowing bot", "mowbot", etc) is designed to operate either entirely on its own, or less commonly by an operator by remote control.

An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit.

In an internal combustion engine the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to some component of the engine.

The force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades, rotor or a nozzle.

This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into useful mechanical energy.

In physics, power is the rate of doing work.

It is the amount of energy consumed per unit time.

Having no direction, it is a scalar quantity.

In the SI system, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the steam engine.

Another common and traditional measure is horsepower (comparing to the power of a horse).

Being the rate of work, the equation for power can be written:

A brand (or marque for car model) is a name, term, design, symbol, or other feature that distinguishes one seller’s product from those of others.

Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising.

In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy for use in an external circuit.

Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines and even hand cranks.

The first electromagnetic generator, the Faraday disk, was built in 1831 by British scientist Michael Faraday.

Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power grids.
