[–] drspod@lemmy.ml 40 points 2 years ago (7 children) You would need an equal and opposite angular momentum at the back of the chainsaw otherwise it will just rotate upwards and loop around in circles. permalink fedilink source hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 50 points 2 years ago (2 children) So a second chainsaw in the opposite direction? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ajmaxwell@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago Give this man a promotion! permalink fedilink source parent [–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago Nah, second chain pointing forward rotating the opposite direction, with the teeth facing forward. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago If the chainsaw generates so much inertial that it challenges your trajectory, you're doing something right. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sawdustprophet@midwest.social 9 points 2 years ago an equal and opposite angular momentum Idea: contra rotating chainsaws. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gimsy@feddit.it 7 points 2 years ago You can balance it adjusting the rocket nozzle permalink fedilink source parent [–] Draegur@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) just enough rotational velocity to counter gravity trying to pull the nose of the missile down though. and also the centripetal momentum of the chain would act like a gyro stabilizer insuring that it remains nominally upright. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago You'll need more mass in those teeth. Depleted uranium chain saw teeth. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago The real one deploys blades that cause the missile to spin at very high speeds before it slices through its targets like butter without an explosion permalink fedilink source parent [–] atlas@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago nuh uh, make it laser guided permalink fedilink source parent
