Instead of highly polluting 2cycle engines, use an air powered motor... But I have no idea what pressures you have to work with or how dangerous it would be.

       I guess the idea is that you'd have an efficient, nonpolluting electric air compressor in your house to refuel the thing? (Or municipal compressed-air service?) This certainly seems suitable for more than lawnmowers. (Ideal for leaf blowers!)

       Damn, what a neat idea! I want one...   

       Would stop people from burning their lips when they were trying to blow up cars...
