    Say....do you think you could power this thing with solar panels? It might make it run longer.

    Good batteries will cost $60 EACH at a MINIMUM. Not total. $60 worth of batteries means you will be going to the end of your driveway before it gives out.

    Motor if a used pull could be free or $50. New probably over $100.

    And how are you going to get 24v out of 9v? I really hope your math does not show 24/9 being an integer.
