The Saw That Can’t Cut Through Flesh ⚙️

Morning Woodworkers!

You know saws? Like the woodworking ones.

This one literally CANNOT chop off your fingers:

See, crazy right?

It chops wood like nobody's business, but the second it feels flesh… it IMMEDIATELY stops and retracts.

Preventing a very nasty accident…

But how does it know if it's touching flesh or wood?

Well, here’s the trick.

The blade itself carries a very small electric current.

Now, this doesn't affect the cutting of the wood, since wood isn't conductive.

But you know what is conductive?

Water.

And you know what we're made of?

70% water.

This means that if one of our watery, fleshy fingers touches the blade…

It completes a circuit.

INSTANTLY triggering the stopping mechanism, which springs a giant chunk of metal up into the saw blade to immediately stop the spinning blade and retract it into the machine.

And it does ALL this in just 5 milliseconds!!

Yeah…

That's like 10 times faster than airbags are deployed.

The only trouble?

Now you have to buy a new saw…

But at least you get to keep your finger!
