Energy is neither created nor destroyed

E in = E out

750 J in so 750 J out

Since the energy is conserved, it's not lost, it's conserved. so the 750J of chem should go into cutting the grass, making a noise whilst doing so, and getting warm whilst doing so. How much into which is presumably decided by the (efficient?) design of the machine.
