As soon as my current projects are done, or maybe even sooner than that I wanted
to design a Lego Chipper as a final project for a while. The problem is that
Legos can't cut wood. I have thought about using store-bought razor blades for
the cutting and don't know what to do for the chop block and the massive wheel
the blades are mounted on. Chippers are an amazingly complicated piece of
machinery as well as very dangerous. After the blade cuts the wood, the pieces
go through a slot that is angled up and then there is a flat piece mounted
behind the slot that chucks them up through the chute. To complicate that,
there is a wheel that feeds the log into the blades that is hydraulically driven
and regulated by a sensor that detects any major decrease in blade RPMs. I
don't know the proper names of most of these parts, but I hope the reader is not
confused to the point of pulling their hair out and screaming. Of course, that
would still be less painful than going through a chipper! This design should
probably be constructed in a way that does not dismember any fingers.
