Construction of the kinetic splitter
Good morning.
I made this kinetic splitter in the spring but have only now decided to show it off on this forum.
Toothed strip module 5 that is 50x50 mm.
Most of the components such as the carriage and bearing mounts are made of 10mm sheet metal.
The splitter is engaged by the pressure of the toothed bar against a spur gear connected to the flywheel.
The pulley which is also the flywheel weighs 62kg. I do not know which machine it comes from as I found it in a junkyard.
The wheels are mounted on a hub from a Fiat cinquecento.
In the video below, the exact process of building the splitter.

Cool! I would just edit the YouTube video to have a short insert of how the structure works at the very beginning, for those who don't know what this splitter is. [Read more]
But it has power. The flywheel, however, is a lot of accumulated energy. No auger splitter can compare. Only that the auger doesn't cut off the hands :) and this one could easily. [Read more]
Plus for the workmanship, however, I fear that this little gear wheel may need replacing at some point. [Read more]
You will fall unwillingly and cut in half. [Read more]
Beautiful work. I envy your workshop and skills. I am a fan of hydraulic splitters. I myself once fancied a sawtooth splitter which is a pleasure to work on, which I show below. :) [Read more]
Very aesthetically pleasing workmanship. I get shivers down my spine looking at these machines.... Too exuberant an imagination I think. [Read more]
I will say frankly that once the toothed bar clutch has been refined and the safety improved due to the speed of reasoning, it could exist as a commercial project. [Read more]
There are many models of this type of splitter on the market. The one shown here looks solid, but if something like wings were added to the sides to form a "V" trough then the billets would centre themselves... [Read more]
What you do is, for me, technical artistry; I really like it when an idea is transferred into "material" and in such an elegant way. Your counterpart in electronics is, in my opinion, my colleague @tytka;... [Read more]
@sqerty a lot of ingenuity and a lot of work, but for that a work of art was created. [Read more]
Friend by chance this topic was displayed to me and out of curiosity I entered here. I have an orchard so I have some wood. Let me put it this way, you didn't check the market and reinvented the wheel... [Read more]
You haven't seen much yet. I remember metalworking machines from technical school: guillotines, punchers and others for fast, lossless cutting some would cut through several cm of steel without a stutter... [Read more]
Hedgehog... So much work, so much material, and now it's all a piece of cake! Why? Because this contraption is very, very dangerous for the operator and bystanders. After all, you are already completely... [Read more]
If your hand falls in - it's outright. Completely. Likewise with a chainsaw; all you have to do is inadvertently dock the chain to your leg and you can cut it off in no time. How can this be, how... [Read more]
If you touch the chainsaw unintentionally, you won't cut your leg off, at most you'll only injure yourself severely, because if you feel pain, you'll instinctively release the button on the handle and... [Read more]
I wonder if it's worth building in safety features. I imagine the splitter has already had a few thousand motoring hours. What's the chance of something getting out of whack and tripping without a pry... [Read more]
Perhaps all we had to do before was at least look at the professionally made kinetic splitter, which is "designed for maximum speed, efficiency and safety"? That is, as the description reads: SAFETY... [Read more]
When it comes to safety, the video below shows the boss of all bosses. I often go back to this video to improve my mood :) [Read more]
I fart-paper... This is kinetics! But the kinetics operator - the capo tutti capi of kinetics ear muffs and safety goggles has? He does. And that's the point. And he has vigilantly turned off YouTube comments,... [Read more]
