      Absolutely, just need to get rid of the guard (or let the longer chain shred it off)
      (safety guards are for woosies, aM I RiGht?)
      Then I am thinking it could use more than 2 sections of chain - I bet you could fit at least a dozen on that disk.

      I recommend an aluminum baseball bat with a 6" blade mounted on the top of the bat you can use it as a cudgel and a spear (for thrusting not trowing). It would give you reach and be of use for much longer aside from the gas there's mechanic maintenance that would it far less viable for the long run.

      NICE idea - if you want to know how far the parts fly, after disassemble itself -
      at 5000 (more?) revolutions / per minute. There is a steel disc with solid blades, useful for things harder than grass. You need the same safety equipment as for chainsaws. The idea is good, use headed bolts and nylon rope / zip ties?

      I miss lawn darts. The cool part of the lawn dart design was to have lessons learned and it also thinned out the population. You live you learn as it rid the world of people who are suffering from a weak or dumb gene pool. What was really great about the 60's and 70's, was that when the dumb kids in the neighborhood didn't learn to respect the monkey bars, teeter tatters, and shit like lawn darts, the kids with the ability to critically think, used their failings to live long productive and a fun life. Today our society can't do much due to safety laws and people who look to take away the right for everyone to live. Damn I miss the good old days.

However, the outcome may result in the same final action as from the explosive outward force as seen in a hand grenade, not the wheel and axle. The action being shrapnel entering into soft tissue after this project demonstrates the crossing of the Rubicon into final failure mode.

      Perhaps, soldering the chain to the nut, bolt, and the disk, would help not to come loose that easy. Also, you need to keep it clean, lubricated, and not exposed to the weather. So it would not get rusted, and break more easily. Well, giving it a second thought, this whole thing is not that safe. Perhaps, that's why they never have sold, anything like it to the public. Too big of a liability.

    I recall the day the boss handed us something similar to this. More over-engineered though, with big chain links like you'd find on a decent bike lock. Invented by an Italian farmer the paperwork said. Well we fitted it to the machines & away we went. Fucking incredible I can tell you. Smashes through brambles & even small trees with ease! Then one of the links breaks off & flies out so fast you can't even see it, just like a bullet.... At that point the whole head becomes imbalanced (we had four chains on ours). So you take a bolt cropper out of the van & cut the other three chains to the correct size, & away you go again. It was like playing russian roulette. The safe working distance is usually something like 5-10 metres with a regular strimmer. It went up to about 50m using that chain thing.

    My wife's cousin recently injured himself damn near fatally when a welded-on attachment (didn't get much details on the shape or size) to a gas-powered weed-eater blade came off at speed and hit him on the inside-top of the calf muscle, and severed an artery. He was out in the field, hit the ground and was trying to yell for help but was several hundred yards from his house. Somehow, someone heard or saw him and they went and got him from the field. The whole village chipped in and donated blood as he'd lost so much he was almost out of the survivable zone. A 2 week hospital stay recovering from the emergency 'surgery' they do here, (this is Thailand) plus the transfusions, and now several weeks still of limited motion and sensation. And, BTW, yes, he knows how to weld, done it for years.
    Welding ANYTHING to a blade which revolves at SUCH a high rate of speed is extremely dangerous. Stress and fatigue cracks from spinning and flexing, (especially if the rotating piece is out of balance by even the most MINUTE amount) can appear and grow in metals, and there's no real way to tell when or how they'll fail. After a while, one strike at a rock or almost-totally submerged pipe, etc. could easily be enough to knock off an attachment, especially if it's NOT the first strike.
    Personally, I think you should remove this vid. There have been many others advocating using chain and steel cable (from motorcycle brakes, etc.) as cutting lines, but this is probably the worst I've seen.. You are doing a genuine disservice to viewers AND THEIR PEOPLE, (since family goes through a traumatic event WITH their loved one). You are encouraging them (you know you are) , with COMPLETE DISREGARD for their varying mechanical-fabrication skill levels, all the variables of the different materials which may be pressed into use, and natural factors like terrain and handling experience, to ignore safety concerns, and attempt a (poorly engineered) modification to a piece of steel which, when used, will spin EXTREMELY fast, and create a very REAL and possibly lethal safety hazard, all for views, ego and $$. Sad.

    The flexible chain will wrap around an object it can't cut, stalling the engine or breaking the driveshaft.

      The most scary part is that you assume this is bad, when manufacturers actually do put these things as accessories in with their weed wackers.

      @@Jooeffoh yes, a manufactured version, as in stress tested to a standard, which this one wasn't as it was homemade, with those two little bolts he used to attach those heavier chains, didn't look like they'd stand up to too much stress, but we'll never know as they weren't tested, because it's a homemade deathtrap. Also, those four chains in that wiki picture were much shorter than those bicycle chains used in this vid, which would clearly do more damage to you if they cut loose and hit you, a pet, or someone else in the vicinity, but you go ahead and make one, just don't come hopping to me, with your foot hanging off, if it all goes pear shaped 😆😆😆
