Does it work on the principle of keeping warm by chasing around picking up the pieces?
Virtually no flywheel , would stall on most of our wood and we tend to cut more mature trees so the wood has to be split on the saw cut.

here Ralph,  this one is similar to the one I saw  before but I don't think
it's the same one.

We used to play with a similar splitter when we were kids over at the
neighbour's place. An axe head welded to a big cast wheel mounted on
your basic circular saw used for cutting wood on all the old farms in
those days. I never did see this one work but can imagine it would
really split blocks of firewood. I know it was fun to play with. Pretty
dangerous too now that I think about it. But we survived with no missing
digits.
