At all times there were craftsmen who could make, it would seem, something truly amazing from ordinary things. It is thanks to such people that the development of science and technology does not stand still, but strides forward by leaps and bounds. In the event that there are no innovative ideas in your head, and the desire to do something with your own hands does not give you rest, then you can start with the already existing and proven developments. Homemade chainsaw for this situation is the best fit.
Today you can find many ways to use a chainsaw for other purposes. There are a lot of things that can be done with this tool, as well as from it. Looking at some devices, I want to exclaim: “How did I not think of this before ?!”
The engine is the main technological link on the basis of which homemade products can be made. We have already learned how to construct the following useful devices from a chainsaw:
- sawmill;
- means of transportation (land, sea, air);
- cutting tool;
- portable compact power stations;
- water pump.
These are just the most common and popular options. Below will be more detailed information about some of the transformations.
Simple upgrade
Sawmill is a homemade chainsaw that does not require much effort, but it can greatly facilitate the process of sawing logs into boards. We can say that in this case, the saw in a somewhat modernized state is used for its intended purpose.
It is almost impossible to dissolve a long log on weight. The problem can be solved elementarily. This will require, firstly, a metal frame on which the saw will be rigidly attached. Secondly, the rail track along which the workpiece will be fed.
Moped
This transformation is somewhat different from the one described earlier, since the very purpose of the device changes here. The motor of the tool is proposed to be used not for cutting anything, but for moving in space. Of course, homemade products from the Ural chainsaw will by no means be able to compete in power and speed with the motorcycle of the same name, but the moped will turn out to be quite efficient.
The owners are very proud of this vehicle. It's not about the running characteristics of their offspring, but in principle. The moped, assembled "on the knee", shows the skill and thriftiness of a person, demonstrates to everyone his golden hands.
The base of such a vehicle is an olda bicycle, on the frame of which a motor from the same ancient chainsaw is mounted. Gearing is the most efficient way to transfer power.
Some enthusiasts go a little further in their research and take a mountain bike as the basis for a homemade vehicle. In this case, it will be possible to control the speed of movement. To do this, you just need to equip the moped with a gearbox.
Motorcultivator
You can list for a long time in which areas of activity homemade products from a chainsaw are used. The friendship of people with the land in our country has led to the fact that such "masterpieces" are quite often used in summer cottages as motor cultivators.
As far as this device is useful in everyday life, it is so easy to assemble it. To do this, you only need a transmission system consisting of a pair of gears. With the help of it, the energy of the engine will be transferred to the drive wheel, which sets the working mechanism in motion. The disadvantage of this design is the small power, which will not be enough to plow virgin soil, but it will be enough for a small well-groomed area.
Power plant
A portable power plant capable of providing energy to a person in the most remote places from civilization is one of the wonders of engineering.
Such a homemade chainsaw can be designed by a person who is at least a little versed in mechanics and electrical engineering. The parts list should look like this:
- chainsaw;
- gear reducer;
- drive belt;
- metal bar;
- generator;
- control panel.
Snowblower
Since winters in the middle lane are very severe, and there is no shortage of snow, everyone dreams of enlisting such an assistant as a manual snow blower. This is a completely doable task. It's all about the principle of the engine, which is based on the fact that its rotational energy can be used for any purpose.
A chainsaw with a power of 3 kW or more can be converted into a snow blower. The whole trick will only be how to mount the screw assembly. Its blades must be made of a durable, but at the same time sufficiently light and elastic material, such as rubber. Further actions do not differ at all from what was described in other paragraphs. With the help of a chain, the motor is connected through a gear pair to the screw assembly. From a practical point of view, it would be correct to use sled skids instead of wheels, and take a curved large-diameter water pipe as a snow thrower.
