Project Description

J & M Inventions, LLC is a family owned business (father and daughter team), based out of Fargo, North Dakota, which focuses their attention on making people’s lives safer and avoiding injuries and deaths. We are excited to bring this opportunity to the public and seek their support to SAVE LIVES.
 
James and Maria are reaching out to the public seeking funding for their invention. They have filed non-provisional patents with the USPTO for their invention along with trademark applications for the name.
 
They invented a new way to cut the grass, the “Laser Lawnmower”, and are seeking funding from the public.
 
We are needing the money for the creation of a prototype.
 
We are confident once we have a prototype you will see this invention in a store near you.
 
For almost 100 years the lawnmower has not changed in design with its spinning metal blades.
Each year, thousands of people in the United States go to the Emergency Room, due to lawnmower injuries and deaths.
 
*** Even Pets are injured and killed EACH year from objects thrown at them by the lawnmowers.***
 
This is costing Millions of dollars a year, just in injuries and deaths. Plus, several Millions in property damage from things being broken from items being kicked out from the spinning of the metal blades.
People are injured and property is damaged from the spinning blades from a lawnmower. These blades kick out (from under the lawnmower), rocks and sticks at high rates of speed.
 
"We still see too many foot injuries from power lawnmowers," says foot and ankle surgeon James Thomas, DPM, FACFAS. "The blades whirl at 3,000 revolutions per minute and produce three times the kinetic energy of a 357 handgun."
 
“American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons: “The energy transferred by a typical lawn mower blade is equivalent to being shot with a 357 magnum pistol.”
 
A study released in 2018 by researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine found that lawn mower injuries, most of which require surgery, cost an average of $37,000 per patient. The study examined lawn-mower-related Emergency Room visits from 2006 to 2013.
 
We NEED your help to raise this money so we can help prevent injuries and deaths. PLEASE help us to help others. EVERY dollar gets us closer to the goal.
 
*** This lawnmower could prevent you or one of your loved ones from being injured or killed.***
 
God Bless everyone who took the time to read this and for those generous few whom provided funding.

The Campaign FAQs

FREQUENT ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
 
1. How do I know this is legit and not a scam?
  • a. We are a real company based out of Fargo, North Dakota, and registered with the North Dakota Secretary of State. This is real and NOT a scam.
 
 
2. Will the Laser Lawnmower catch the grass on fire?
  • a. Most people will only cut their grass when it is healthy and growing, hence forth why they are cutting the grass. Healthy normal grass is made up of mostly water 70%- 85% water. There is no fear of it catching fire.
  • i. Click on the link for more facts about lawns:
  • b. There are some people whom would cut “dry” or “dead” grass. In theory, that could cause a fire hazard. With that said, we have made modifications and designs to the patent.
  • c. *** We have added several water jets (found after the lasers have cut the grass) which will spray water onto the clippings to prevent any possibility of catching fire. This is an OPTION which can be turned off by the user. If they are cutting healthy grass there is no need to have the jets spraying on the clippings.
 
3. Is the Laser Lawnmower really safe? What if I get cut by the Laser Lawnmower?
  • a. It is important to note that IF a person were to get their foot or fingers under the lawnmower deck, it will be cut off no matter if it was the metal blade or a laser.
  • b. The BIG difference between getting cut be a laser and a metal blade is how the wound looks. From a medical point, it would be easier to attached a severed finger, toe, hand or other body part when it was cut off by a laser. A Laser will make a straight “clean” cut, which a medical surgeon will be able to attach it much easier.
  • c. However, in the same situation of a body part being cut off by a metal blade, the wound would be different. The edges will be jagged and torn. It may or may notbe able to be attached as easily as a laser wound.
  • d. Another issue is the infection possibility. The laser would NOT have any germs which would enter the wound when it is cut, because of the intense heat. Where as a metal blade would have grass, dirt, and germs on the blade.
  • e. Another point will be that IF a person were to get their foot or hand under the deck of the lawnmower, the normal spinning metal blades covers the entire area under the deck of the lawnmower.
  • i. But the small area for the lasers will be about 1 inch from the left side to the right side of the lawnmower deck. So, unless that person who accidentally went under at the exact point of the laser’s they will not get injured.
  • ii. There is a 100% chance of a person getting injured from a spinning metal blade IF they get their body part under the lawnmower deck.
 
 
 
iii. There is a 10% chance of a person getting injured IF they get their body part under the lawnmower deck, because the lasers ONLY go from one side of the deck to the other side. There is 90% of the area which would be safe IF a person got under the lawnmower.
 
 
 
4. How safe is it IF a person fell off while driving a riding lawnmower?
  • a. As you can see from the diagram a person who accidentally fell while riding on the riding lawnmower will have a less of chance of injury or death with the Laser Lawnmower than the spinning blade mower.
  • b. It would be more likely a person whom fell (while sitting on a riding lawnmower) will miss the lasers, since the lasers are stationed further forward on the mower. While on a traditional spinning blade mower the person would 100% be injured by the spinning blades.
 
5. How many lives will be saved by using the Laser Lawnmower?
  • a. 100%of the people (would be affected) whom would have been injured or killed by an object being thrown at them from the spinning blades. Laser lawnmowers do NOT have spinning blades.
 
 
 
  • b. Roughly 80%-90% of people (would be affected) whom would have been injured or killed when they accidentally fell under the push or riding lawnmower, since the danger area of the lasers will greatly be reduced by 90%.
 
6. How will the Laser Lawnmower save lives?
  • a. The Laser Lawnmower will NOT have any spinning blades which will kick out objects at the speed of a .357 magnum handgun. People will not be struck and harmed by any spinning blades.
7. How many people are injured/killed from lawnmowers each year?
  • a. For those wondering about the REAL numbers of injuries from lawnmowers: Here are the facts from the Government website of CPSC.gov and the American Hospital Association aha.org.
  • c. The report stated the following: “The 2019 NEISS estimates have been produced from a sample of 96 hospitals, including children's hospitals. Information from NEISS is available to the public through CPSC's National Injury Information Clearinghouse  (phone: 301-504-7921) and online at www.cpsc.gov/en/Research--Statistics/NEISS-Injury-Data/
  • d. ***NOTE: This is an estimate of injuries from ONLY 96 hospitals.***
  • e. On page 3 of the report, it reported 77,244 injuries from lawnmowers.
  • f. Since, this report ONLY took a sample of 96 hospitals we must look at how many hospitals there are in the United States.
  • h. As of 2021 there are a “Total Number of All U.S. Hospitals 6,090

 

8. Will the Laser Lawnmower SAVE me MONEY?
  • a. YES! It will SAVE you MONEY!
  • b. You will NOT have to buy spark plugs, gas, and air filters,
 
9. Will the Laser Lawnmower SAVE me TIME?
  • a. YES! It will SAVE you TIME!
  • b. You will NOT have to sharpen any metal blades before using the lawnmower.
  • c. NO changing the oil.
  • d. NO need to clean the air filter.
 
10. Is the Laser Lawnmower healthy for my grass?
  • a. YES, IF you were to look at a blade of grass (under a microscope) after a metal blade cuts through the blade of grass, you will see a jagged edge.
  • b. If a laser were to cut that same piece of grass the edge will be a “clean” straight cut. This is LESS traumatizing to the grass and will be healthier for the grass.
 
11. Is the Laser Lawnmower environmentally friendly?
  • a. YES, it is environmentally friendly!
  • b. NO need for oil.
  • c. NO need for gas.
  • d. NO pollution in the air from the engine.
