Nah. If I was going to go an alternative route, it'd be steam.

I've got a drawing, in one of my books, apparently from a circa
1900 or so ad, of a steam powered crosscut saw. Nifty looking device.
Been trying to find info on such for probably several years now, with no
luck so far. I figure there must be "something" out there, but just
using the wrong buzz-words, or dombination thereof. If anyone runs
across such, please post it, or even "gasp" e-mail me. LMAO

Anyone remember the Will Smith movie with the bad guy riding in the steam
powered wheelchair? Could set up all the power tools that way, tiny steam
powered engines on your drill, saw, router. Cordless and they would burn
the sawdust for power so they would have cordless dust collection as well.
