DIY Electric Wood Chipper on Batteries

[YLogvin]

Hello everyone, let me introduce my recent addition to the series of useful household projects - DIY electric wood chipper on batteries.

This wood chipper cuts any branch with a diameter of up to 8 cm without any effort. As a result, we get excellent wood chips for the fireplace.

THIS DIY WOOD CHIPPER CONSISTS OF:

• Branch shredder (Cryoarm LLC)
• Curtis 1238 controller
• Battery cells from Nissan Leaf
• BMS

Unlike ICE wood chippers, it is battery-powered. Requires almost no maintenance, just attach a battery and you're ready to chop some wood!

Consumes approximately 500 W/h. Revolutions: about 1120 rpm.

Due to the large mass of the flywheel, it cuts thick branches very well.

The design turned out to be 2-3 times more powerful than necessary. The drive itself can be made much more compact.

Here's how it looks in action:

Let me know what you think, I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Ingenious way to use what you have to get what you need. How did the Leaf come to lose it's batteries?

Our firewood runs a little larger. No ICE here either.

That takes the fun away from log splitting. I'll pass.
