I’m a mechanical product designer and I was starting to sketch out what you’d need to do this. Great insight!
This has really already been solved already though, I think it’s a question of price. 5 seconds of amazon research shows that most leaf blowers are under $200 (ex: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FZ2JL2K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lErVDbNC0ZM4S )while one with a well tuned engine and a catalytic converter is about $500 (ex: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005C7GQKY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OCrVDb2D5W679 ). Not sure if the pricey one is harder on the environment than the electric one, probably a tossup and will depend on the supply chain.
I think what we need is an environmental score for stuff that people can trust and understand. This stuff gets complex and there isn’t a lot of transparency.
