Lawn mower with laser cutting apparatus

An apparatus for cutting vegetation, the apparatus being controllable by a user for movement along a surface covered by vegetation, said apparatus comprising:

• a housing including an upper surface having a plurality of side walls being extended generally perpendicular and downwardly therefrom, said housing having an enclosed surface being faced in an opposed direction from said upper surface, said housing being opened downwardly and having an opening being positioned proximate the surface covered by vegetation, said opening being bounded by said plurality of side walls;
• a laser cutting means, said laser cutting means being electrically powered, said laser cutting means being rotatably positioned on said enclosed surface within said housing;
• at least one laser beam being generated by said laser cutting means, said at least one laser beam being rotatable during operation of said apparatus for cutting vegetation positioned proximate within said opening;
• a control means positioned proximate said housing, said laser cutting means being controlled by said control means for speed of rotation;
• electrical power being provided by a power means being detachably connected to said housing, said electrical power being provided to said laser cutting means;
• and
• a transport means being connectable to said housing, said transport means being movable by the user at a variable ground speed along the surface covered by vegetation while said laser cutting means and at least one laser beam rotates within said housing.

A method of operation for cutting vegetation, providing a rotating laser system being movable across a vegetation covered surface, said method comprising:

• providing a laser cutting system including at least one pair of laser beams being electrically powered;
• enclosing said at least one pair of laser beams in a central position within a housing having a downward directed opening;
• rotating said at least one pair of laser beams in an arc of generally 360°, said rotating operation increasing a rotating speed of said at least one pair of laser beams proportionally in response to increasing ground speeds of said laser cutting system;
• directing said at least one pair of laser beams at a plurality of angles for cutting vegetation at varying heights when said housing is positioned proximate said vegetation;
• transporting said laser cutting system at varying speeds along the vegetation covered surface, said transporting operation providing a transport platform for moving said at least one pair of rotating laser beams enclosed within a housing generally parallel to the vegetation covered surface;
• controlling the speed of rotation of said at least one pair of laser beams;
• and
• providing continuous electrical power to said laser cutting system for rotating said at least one pair of laser beams at rotating speed proportionally increasing in response to increasing ground speeds of the rotating laser system.
