This is neat, but it seems pretty clear to me that battery-powered electric motors are the future for this kind of application. I don't own a leaf blower, but both my lawnmower[1] and trimmer[2] are now battery-electric, and I would say both are essentially as good as any gas-powered ones I've used, and much quieter. I listen to podcasts while I mow the lawn now. It's great.
