# Hybrid Power Lawnmowers The 'Aurinco' Grass Lawn Mower Harnesses the Power of the Sun By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-04-10 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grass-lawn-mower References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/04/07/let-the-sun-mow-your-lawn/) [Autonomous technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicut-series) seems to be everywhere, but the 'Aurinco' grass lawn mower is one unit that doesn't utilize it but instead uses a [manual operation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batterypowered-lawn-mowers). While this could come as a surprise, the 'Aurinco' lawn mower is actually designed to be pushed along a lawn in order to cut the grass, but also utilizes the power of the sun to work. The 'Aurinco' grass lawn mower features a solar panel on the top portion that is used to draw in energy from the sun in order to power the motor. This eliminates the need to plug the unit in (unless it's particularly overcast) to save energy, or cut the use of a [gas-powered mower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worx-offers). The 'Aurinco' lawn mower is the design work of Leonardio Caricato. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Autonomous Technology:** Utilizing autonomous technology in lawnmower designs to increase efficiency and convenience. - **Solar Power:** Incorporating solar panels in lawnmower designs to reduce the reliance on traditional power sources and promote sustainability. - **Manual Operation:** Exploring innovative designs of manual lawnmowers to provide a different user experience and promote physical activity. ### Where This Applies - **Home and Garden:** Developing innovative lawnmower designs to cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly and efficient gardening tools. - **Renewable Energy:** Exploring the integration of solar power in various consumer products, such as lawnmowers, to promote renewable energy adoption. - **Outdoor Power Equipment:** Investing in research and development to create advanced manual lawnmowers that offer improved performance and user experience for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Lawn Care Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-lawn-care-technology.md) - [Robotic AI-Powered Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-cyber-mower.md) - [Robotic AI Vision Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunseeker-orion-x7-plus.md) - [Auto-Mulching Robotic Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airseekers-tron-360-ai-vision-robotic-mower.md) - [Robotic Lawn Mowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-mower.md) - [Robotic Five-Camera Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-robotic-lawn-mower.md) - [Low-Noise Emissions-Free Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milwaukee-m18-fuel-electric-mower.md) - [AI-Enabled Lawn Mowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terramow.md) - [AI-Fuelled Autonomous Mowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-terramow.md)
