Diesel Chainsaw on its way

Yea ! double acting piston with a super heated steam feature . I think you have cracked it !

How about a direct drive steam turbine that would reduce the weight a bit - pity about the backpack boiler:thumbup1:

 

Thinking about your Nuke -saw, maybe that's why the Iranians are going Nuke:confused1: Lack of oil and a big tree problem:lol:

DailyTech - Battery Breakthrough Based on Graphene Charges 10x Faster

 

If this gets developed then batteries could well be on the cards.

Sir Frank Whittle was thinking along the lines of a jet powered saw but the war got in the way .

Except for the need to charge them in a forest.

 

Just going to plug my charger into that oak tree won't be long. Lol

[Maxnaggle]

imagine trying to pull start a deisel motor!

Battery / electric saws could easily become reality

 

read up on how the US are getting on with Polywell

 

Polywell Fusion

Polywell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Polywell is a dream about fusion energy power plants. How could that affect electric chainsaws in any way?

They've gotten around this.

 

Would you care to elaborate about how "they've" overcome the increased weight of diesel engines caused by higher compression requiring more sturdy engine block?

yep but 'Fritz' had the ME262 you can fell any tree with x4 20mm cannons - You will wear black PPE and dye your hair blond:thumbup1:

 

Back to the topic, as an engineer - I can't see how for: price - weigh - power that the present generation of chainsaws can be replaced or converted to a new technology. The % of greenhouse gas produced by man using chainsaws against all other energy use must he less then 0.00001% but we need wood, so why not make pro-chainsaws an exception - simple:thumbup1: The total chainsaw 'greenhouse gas' output would be less than 'wasted energy'.

 

The idea of some kind of 'new green technology' can save the planet is not real or practical but to some going green is a new religion but you still need wood

Or follow the Swedish folk and use Alkylate Fuel?
