Their pro level saws are incredible. The old stuff is all designed and made in Germany and it is obvious when you start getting into them. The designs and choices they made back then were all about providing the best product money could buy. They still make decent stuff, but it doesn't have the same quality feel as the older Zero series, and the newer "greener" engines aren't the same. I don't care about fuel economy and how much cleaner it is. I want a nasty ass big power saw that will drive a 40" bar through rock maple and oak trees and get me home and hour earlier.

If that was a practical thing it would have been done already. These turbines are not new at all. They’ve been around for over 30 years and the turbo shaft and turboprop versions have been around for at least 15.
That was pretty awesome! Novel, but awesome!! Just a nerdy FYI, gas powered chainsaws vibrate on purpose to add a little bite the cutting action, there's a long winded explanation but the bottom line is "Vibration" is a "Good Thing" when it comes to chainsaws :-) Even some electric chainsaws have an eccentric weight ("Vibrator") added to the output shaft to help the chain teeth bite into the wood.
Not to be a smartass, But I have owned an Outdoor power equipment dealership for over 20 years, Sold, and serviced a number of brands over the years. That's the first time I have ever heard that !

@@quadsman11 I'm a bit skeptical myself. But I have heard a story about single cylinder hillclimb motorcycles beating out their 4 cylinder competitors. The reason why was not revealed until they used a high speed camera. The pulsating of the rear wheel helps it regain traction rather than continue to spin. Regardless, electric is most likely the future of chainsawing, even for pros. It should be possible to build a motor with pulsating power delivery without just adding a vibrating weight to the shaft, if that is found to be necessary.
Got a good hand warmer in the winter. We used to dry our sleeping bags and other gear, along with heating up MREs on the back of the Abrams tanks. Yes, we lit the fire on a turbine engine just to cook food and dry stuff on the exhaust......

Interesting power saw. Chrysler experimented with turbine powered cars in the 1960's? Scrapped most of them; to expensive to make the engines. Also, people complained that it took too long to move off the line once the light turned green. It took several seconds to get going. The people behind them would honk their horns at them.
i remember Eli (RIP) of the flyboyz many many years ago strapping a couple of those to a bicycle and running it up and down the runway at Perris Valley Airport. it also took days for the smell to vacate the bar too. miss you Eli, the sport is rather tame without you.
@@sanfranciscobay there was a dude up to Perris doing some video shoot for some show like 'country fried videos' 'that's incredible' (something like that, killed a lot of brain cells since then) doing wingsuit with the jets attached to an old pair of ice skates and Eli was helping out. i knew fritz better and would see him a lot in NY at The Ranch or out in Cali. what those guys could do in the air was jaw dropping.
@@sanfranciscobay the show was called 'Stunt Junkies' Eli got the job after Jeb got busted for an illegal BASE jump. when kids saw Eli, they'd run up to him and ask for a picture and he would treat them better than gold. he was a class act.
@Captain MufDyven I was a jet engine mechanic in the US Air Force for almost 10 years. I miss the smell and the sound. The turbine chainsaw could be more fun than the C-5 and C-141.
That looked very reasonable. When I saw the title I thought they had built a monster chainsaw with a retired helicopter engine or something like that :-)
The Rover car group actually trialled a road going jet engine car back in the 60/70's here in the UK but never got past that.I think this saw is pretty cool.You can take a turbo charger and with a bit of fettling turn it into a jet engine.Seen it done.
I would think air filtration would be a challenge to keep up with the air demands of the jet and not lose performance...fun idea and concept though, maybe a leaf blower and weed wacker model next just to round out the series! This would have been right up Tim Taylor's alley back in the day!
Runs about like the cheap entry level saws that Stihl unfortunately has to sell. Kid you not, I walked into a family run large hardware chain that features a large Stihl equipment display, asked for the $350 and up range saws to buy right now. They told me I couldn't have one until they started it up in front of me. 15 minutes and 2 saws later, neither worked, and I quietly told them I had to be going now.
I remember when Andy Granatelli brought a turbine powered racecar to the Indy 500. He ran it one year. Although it didn't win it was very powerful and they quickly banned it.
This is nuts JB. STIHL's a great product but this is like Tim the toolman. 🤓 I wonder if the blade needs sharpening more often? This was interesting. Thanks. Take care and fly safe. 🤟🏼🖖🏼
As a Stihl qualified mechanic and as someone who has built a miniature jet engine for model aircraft at home on my lathe...This saw is awesome, why didn't I think of that! 😀🇦🇺
"Cuts like a very good running saw but with 4 times the fuel consumption" - AR! AR! I'll take it! Shut up and take my money! But put a 10 feet chain on it!
You definitely would earn that"Number One Dad" T-shirt in front of the neighborhood kids. Also, never have to worry about running out of buddies bringing you free beer!
Cool! I really think so. But bonus, that test bench is just a one inch tip from a Guinness record setting projectile demonstration. With stronger-than-skin slicing edges! And just to be sure, other Bubba stands about 2 feet away. Well, duh, wouldn't we all?! So Guinness for one ... and, um, "Darwin?" But hey, it's really smooth with no vibration. And Stihl's are impeccably balanced. Never mind then.
When Stihl first came out they were made in Germany. The correct pronunciation is "sh-till" and changed to "Steel" as a marketing ploy when the manufacturing shifted to USA. As a side note it translates to "Quiet" in English, hardly appropriate! One impressive thing about Stihl is they only work with dealers Walmart and Costco need not apply!
I think I hear Tim Allen weaving his way through the crowd right now, cash in hand!

If chainsaws weren't loud enough as is. We bring you the ear raper 3000.
It's probably really quiet from the other directions, Juan was standing in front of the exhaust where it's loudest.
Trademark that name!
Hook up a pulse jet engine. (How???)
It's a steady stream of explosions.
I have never heard anything as violently loud. No wonder the psychological effects was greater than the explosive in WWII.
This seems quieter than I expected.
Easier for hearing protection to block that high-frequency whine from the turbine compared to the loud buzz from the 2-stroke engine, though...
That's awesome! Love when companies let people make neat things like this for events.
4 times the fuel burn, but 10 times the cool factor and fun!
And it looks professionally done too
Omg that is awesome. I only have 2 stroke Stihl equipment to annoy my neighbours with... Come on Stihl make this a reality.

I didn't hear a thing.
Burns 4 times as much fuel, makes 4 times as much noise, accelerates 1/4th as quickly.

So much more inane than an electric saw with max torque at zero rpm.
How about a spark arrestor? AB?
Completely missed the point. Maybe you should just stick to justine beibler videos and make up tutorials.

Do not attempt unless at least 40 feet up the tree.

The government made Chrysler scrap them or pay 1 million each to keep them in the US. a couple of car museums have them.
I seen drag jet cars that'd beg to differ on the acceleration thing 😁
Jet powered chainsaw may be the most American thing ever!
But he's German....this chainsaw is the 131 model (half of a 262)
