The Pizzacutter is OP.

Now Tyranth would we really be here if we didn't find you being in danger funny? Now now you know us better than that.

I love the grand tour/top gear intro this episode

it's basically a weed whacker

This just reminds me of the classic Stargate quote about weapons of war. I think this just screens weapon of terror.

I can already hear Shad questioning his sanity.

Love this content, you deserve more subscribers and a bigger budget.

Love what you do Tyranth.

Making it hand powered is also _cooler._ At least I think so.

A very fun episode. Now *obviously* if you didn't care about safety this would have been electric power, because that was kind of the main thing about the Ghiza's Wheel was that it 'ground into' enemies. I think with that the effectiveness (and I imagine using an in hub motor like you'd use for an electric bike) would reduce the complexity and failure rate of the device. Still, with what you could feasibly do, it was interesting seeing such a 'device' tested.

So, if you do have to commit mechanical insanity on the battlefield, a buzzsaw is better than a chainsaw?

That aint no whirlygig saw

Considering what you've shown and said, and in context of other weapons helping to set the standards, I would rate Usability: 1 Design: 3 Comfort: 3 Effectiveness: 4

Kinda wish ghiza's wheel in elden ring was crank operated now lol would be so funny seeing my tarnished cranking the crap out of it any time you charge the heavy attack

In game it uses magic to spin. We don't have magic but we do have machine. You can take machine from chainsaw and add it on that. With off/on switch.

Love yhe channel tyranth keep it up bro

If it ever happens I'll be sure to stick with Tyranth in a zombie apocalypse! xD

OMG!!! I told you Tyranth about making this Saw Wheel Axe Thing in last episode. My source of inspiration was from other game... But still! Thank you for making this video, even if you not read my comment from last episode.

I have a feeling it would work even better if all the blades were identical and smaller, basically turn into a round saw on a stick. And I guess if an actual round saw was attached properly, you could use something like that quite safely.

Taking into account that this weapon originates from Bloodborne, i think it makes more sense in the context of the game. Considering that most of the time you have to fight monsters who don’t use weapons, the player probably doesn’t need as much agility as when fighting against humans. So the main goal is to inflict as much devastating damage as possible in the shortest amount of time 🤔

I love this. unhinged death engineering is always fascinating.

Brush cutter, but more dangerous for the user.

Nice weedwacker you have there

Making it a hand crank was definitely the right call. Holy crap that is the most dangerous manual weed eater I have ever seen.

Tyranth working for Tanith

I think you rated this too high

1:16 "Geezer's wheel" 😂😂😂

I don't know what's scariest, if the fact that one could use one of those hub motors to make one of these powered with around one horsepower at least, or that you don't really need to go through all the hustle of building a complicated contraption, because you could just get a grass trimmer with a metal blade... Wait; hmm... There's a model that comes with a six bladed head, guarantee of them being razor sharp... OH MY FREAKING GOD! They also come with straight up buzz saws! When did gardening got so scary! 😅

This is a comment, indicating interest and engagement. Blah blee bloo bloo blop, word salad and algorithms. Love the content as always, man. Thank you.

It’s a worse version of a giant pizza cutter or Krieg’s Buzzsaw axe club from borderlands.

PRAISE THE SUN! 🌞 10/10 would beat egg-based monsters with it. 🍳

You're welcome.

what i got from this episode is that a long heavy stick is the best weapon because its hard to fail

Cool video Tyranth. Congrats on 3 seasons. Well deserved.

you made awesome replica Tyranth

The hand powering does end up being very cool and unique. I actually do really like the look of it

Would that cut a deep dish pizza? lol

So this does kind of exist in real life. Its called a sally saw and with knives bolted on it would've been genuinely terrifying.

Crazy weapon looks cool test on 😉😀💪👍

The spinning wheel of death.

If you did have an electric motor with a very secure chain to more closely simulate the magic, how do you think the T.I.T.S. would change? (Was going to say ratings, but then realized I couldn’t pass up that opportunity.)

Love this crazy experimental build! Has a Elden Ring meets Dead Rising look to it. Looking forward to the new season! ☀💦🩸

i love this channel

dear god, you mad man

OMFG I LOVE IT!! Whoever suggested the T.I.T.S. scale is an actual legendary being 🤘😂

Like other people suggested some possible upgrades to make this more "functional": - Use a brushcutter/weed eater/weed wacker for the drive chain/axle. This would be relatively light weight and less issues compared to the un-tensioned chain. - For powering it a modified low speed hand drill with grip safety toggle/trigger. - I'd be concerned with the sudden jolt if the blades did catch and the power source was trying to torque through it making it wrench from your control. So there would need to be a freewheel or something to keep this from happening. You could still use the frame and general setup you have for structure with these suggestions.

I actually really like these videos, youtubes too hard man i swear

If that was heavy already, adding motor to it would make it pretty much unusable. Blades were kinda loose'ish. Making them more rigidly attached would probably help with the cutting, but they would probably snap easier. Especially with the motor with higher rpm. Honestly i think you rated it too high. I'd go with something like 4-3-2-3. Maybe even lower. Yes it can kinda cut while spinning, but it aint spinning after 1-2 hits. Powering it by hand, while safer and i understand why you did this, it just require a motor for constant spinning. But it'll make everything even more unwieldy and dangerous, and prone to snaping and braking. My personal verdict: Disassemble it now! Are you crazy? Is this thing even legal to build or have at all? I feel if you show this to Shad he'd dissasemble both it and you. My god i don't want to be anywhere near it. XD

Making it Bloodborne-style with buzzsaw blades instead of knives could make it safer, at least in the sense it wouldn't be as stabby and prone to flinging broken bits of blade in places in case of failure. A tighter chain or a complete gear system would obviously make it more reliable, and at that point I'd probably add a motor as well.

Just to point something out, this is not in any possible way the Whirlygig Saw, because that weapon is (1) a hammer first and foremost, and (2) powered by something other than magic, perhaps merely an incredibly wound spring mechanism that allows it to continue function. Most Bloodborne weapons are purely mechanical, albeit not realistic, but the WGS is 100% a big blunt disc hammer that has twin sawblades on either side of the disc, like a deadly Oreo cookie. But this Ghiza Wheel you've made is really cool!

Effectiveness would go through the roof if the build quality was higher (no disrespect, you are AWESOME) and it was not hancranked

essentially just a brushcutter is an interesting point. Other ways to take this idea is to make it longer, and counterweight it a bit. Couch it like a lance. this way you could hold it with one arm, while turning the crank.(if not just attaching gas/electric motor, and backpack fuel/battery..) or, like Brush cutters. counter weight is in the back(motor). and they are carried at the hip, with a STRAP holding the weight/pivot point over the shoulders, freeing both hands to aim.

PIZZA CUTTER!!

Keep up the amazing work man, love the showing the building and start to testing here with the follow ups with Shad...Such a great collab and always love seeing the set when you make something crazy. Like the Bloodborne "sword" with you 2 coming up to the same results from different starting points. It shows that if a weapon is good you can tell even if you were not the one who made it or knows how it is supposed to be used. Kind of a seen VS blind take. Hail from the FNT Fellowship!

Nice video. I think you should keep it together. Hear me out. I know it's expensive, but you're going to have the coolest damn pizza cutter on the block. 😂 On a less ridiculous note, you could perhaps counteract the gyro effect by having another, much smaller but equally heavy flywheel type situation for the pommel. I know, it would have to be enclosed somehow so you don't get clothes, appendages or scenery stuck in it, make another point of failure, making it that much more complex and costly and it would not be true to the in game representations (unless I'm missing something). On the other hand, it could potentially make it a much more feasible implement of dooooooom. Not saying it would be anywhere near a sword in it's simplicity, elegance or ease of use. A pizza cutter of doom is still a pizza cutter of doom, though. Edit: Spelling and grammar derps.

Nice idea, a chain tensioner would be a very good idea, stop it falling off all the time, you have an engineering background yet the word sprocket seemed unfamiliar to you, odd; I come from an engineering background too but I'm also a motorcycle mechanic (studied motorcycle engineering along with a Bsc(hons) in product design and of course my Harley Davidson certified mechanics courses) so maybe I'm a bit more sprocket au fait lol! I still think maybe a lower HP or wattage motor like a Dremel would be safe enough with all your gear, although I do share your dislike and distrust of electric grinders but mostly for the godawful noise they make! I have a newish air grinder I hope to try out soon!

Admit it, you went with a hand crank instead of electrical because your soldering skills suck😜 (I'm kidding, please don't be sad I love you🥺)

Seems effective against unarmored targets. Kinda questionable against anything else.

Really good season finale. Thanks for the entertainment Tyranth. Musical greetings from Belgium, Gunther (singer and lyrics writer of Gabriel Scar)

That..was actually more effective than I thought it would be. You're a brave man testing that terrifying weapon. I'd be way too concerned about blades coming loose and flying back at me 😬 Keep up the brilliant work but stay safe!

I thought "it's hand powered, it can't be THAT dangerous, right?, if you used a drill or something maybe" oh no, i was mistaken, once i saw that thing spin oh boy also you probably need a chain tensioner if you want to revisit the build and improve it, it will prevent the chain going loose 🤔

Some kind of better construction combined with a powerful electric motor would make that thing absolutely insane. Though I'm wondering how much a bladed wheel spinning at high speeds might pull against attempts to swing the thing around...would it be kinda like a gyroscope, or something?

This looks absolutely horrifying. Though regarding the games design, if the wheel spins on magic then the hooked blades might get stuck but the magic would (probably) push through until either the weapon or the target breaks. And as we know, game weapons resist everything.

GIVE IT A MILLION VIEWS Also emphasizing the danger of it and then spinning it without face/eye protection is wild!

For your "T.i.t.s." score, you seem to be giving it a lot of points since it is the season finale, rather than actual "I think this is actually effective or comfortable, or useable in combat. No one would let you crank the blades to spin in a fight, and when the blades stop, a lot of the effectiveness is removed that a spiked/bladed club itself wouldn't do better. I appreciate your videos, and I thank you for what you do, just my thoughts. :)

Awwww snap, got to the "Don't you dare" part! Here's a comment for the vid! I definitely wouldn't pick it IR too....in a fight, at least...

I thought maybe a weed trimmer with a deadman switch would be more effective base for the design as the motor would be a counterbalance and using an axle to spin. From your narration I think you considered this. Why did you go with crutch instead?

Did you consider using a small electric motor of some kind? With that you could put the activator somewhere on the grip/handle that is most convenient, or most comfortable while still allowing you to wield it like a 2 handed staff/sword/spear/spinny thingy.. Lol not a complaint or criticism, legit just curious your thoughts on it. I'm sure it wouldn't be the safest way to go about testing.... I also think from what you built and the results of your tests..... it's quite clear with an electric motor to power the wheel..... it's probably gonna be devastating lol..... So I have been assuming you didn't go with the electric motor simply because it wasn't really required to test the concept and it's also way less safe lol. Both of which are legitimate reasons to go manual over electric for a first run at least.

You remind me of the Red Green show's series of wacky build skits, "if women can't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy". Of course, you've got both covered though, lol

If you worried about cussing, and losing monetization, don't use the bleep sound! Use different sounds because last I checked, the algorithm will not pick up on non-bleep sounds. *Shink* *clang*

Great videos, love them bud. May be not your thing but have you tested the gun sword. It's a flintlock built into a knife or small sword. It's a strange weapon I found a couple months ago

This video did something right. I recognize you from Shadiversity but your channel was shoved into my feed, may the algorythm bless you.

Thank you for the series! It gives a wonderful insight into the practicality of things which I use to bring unnecessary realism to my TTRPGs and interesting tidbits that I can spring up in a conversation against an unsespecting listener. Please do keep up this wonderful work!

Kinda sucks in the games as well. Like anything, if you build around it it's alright but it's a commitment in the game.

I know you are in tight budget but is there any chance that you would consider doing Alita battle angel butterfly knife - blade - sword, i would really like to see an actual factional replica!, keep up the good work!🎉

the problem with your design is, the wheel loses a lot of power when you stop cranking. you would need to go on cranking the wheel while hitting, but you can not of course. so using an electric or combustion engine is absolutly crutial for that thing to work properly. then addding something like a "fender" to the wheel would also be a good idea, to protect the user from flying objects. make the blades shorter and give them a bit more thickness so they are more sturdy. and you need to attach the chain so it wont fall off that easy. maybe looking into chainsaws could make this thing work better. or maybe using gears instead of a chain. just some ideas for the case, that someone is crazy enough to create a better version of that thing. thanks for making this.

What about a gasoline powered weed Wacker engine all the way down at the bottom end? Just a thought experiment. Second thought for this. Shoulder strap. That way you don't have to hold it with your arms. It's cool to watch and about as practical as a mall ninja weapon. Great content as always!

I get wanting to make it hand-powered instead cause of safety. Just think how awfully hazardous this thing would be if instead he hooked it up to something like a chainsaw motor and assembly.

Get a chainsaw engine to power it, the engine will act as a counterballance, and the centripital force of it will create a gyro effect which would even further eliminate the weight that's leveraged from it being larger. I think.

The more videos you put out, the more I'm liking this channel, I LOVE the concept of what you do, and in general I think you're a talented craftsman. Keep up the great work!!

Looks like the issue is that the drive chain doesnt have enough tension in it so it slips off like that constantly. Could also be mitigated with some guides near both sprockets. Also a smaller main sprocket could potentially help it build up speed.

This is a weird thought. This tool is possible is the most forgiving cutting tool. ( Being able to cut with the equivalent of a flat edge slap) the problem with this weapon is actually with the goals of this tool. So obviously if it hits steal it will stop. But on soft targets you need a supper sharp tool. You don't want it to dul at all. This adds friction so to speak this will be important in a sek. The main optical for this tool is mass. You want it to be light to be easy to use. But here's the contradiction. You want the extra hefty on the wheel its self. This come with its own problem as above. But the mass give it more power to cut stuff without studdering. And cutting more over all. The other way you could get around this is with direct power to the wheel. To expose that force into it self. As mentioned both have huge problems. And if you keep the edges sharp you do get a better efficiency per cut. That's where sharpness come in

Have you considered using a windup system with a flat spring like on clocks, a lot of drum magazines for guns have a heavy duty spring that would give you two hands after winding up to swing

I think I'd just have gone for a pull cord to set the flywheel going by hand, could get fancy with one way freewheeling, self retracting pull cord and the like but it just adds complexity and unnecessary weight IMO. And then if confident enough use a motor on the ground to get more vroom - I expect it would be rather more effective and much harder to use if that wheel was really spinning with some gusto - all that fighting the gyro to get on target. That said good effort and fun testing of a daft idea. I can't think of a target those relatively short blades spinning like that would really be better on than just putting all that weight into a two handed axe. I guess maybe something huge like a whale you might find it easier to just let the circular saw element do its job once you hit the target than actually have to land more than one swing in much the same place to gain deeper penetration.

It reminded me of a gas powered weed eater with those aftermarket metal blades attached. Those blades are only maybe three inches long but are still very dangerous, with your knives attached it would probably be a Geneva Checklist violation.

Ghiza's Wheel makes sense if you think of it in context of what it was meant to be used for, it's not a weapon its meant as a scary and painful thing to get confessions from people through torture.

Something I feel would have helped a lot is a tensioner, they come in a variety of types and would stop the chain from falling off which would probably have made it easier to use.

Probably gearing an angle grinder waaaaay down would be better. Magic can impart arbitrarily large force. Your hands cannot. (Granted, neither can a grinder, but you know.)

lol Star Wars kid would be a huge RU-vidr these days if it happened just 20 years later

An engineering flaw I see with this is that you have no supporting ability with the hand on the bicycle crank, a piston type pump crank ( like a tube that slides back and forth over the staff handle) would be more efficient and supportive while using it.

A brushless motor from an ebike probably would have been a good option to power the wheel without relying on a chain. The battery would make a decent counterweight as well. It would still be obscenely heavy and a lot more expensive of course.

if he had more mechanical know-how, there could be some sort of ratchet spinning gearbox with a tongue or lever extending to the grip to squeeze and catch the bike gear and "rev" with each depression. also, a c curved sheet of metal at that middle hand grip of the crutch to act as a blade guard.

Other than weight...I wonder how better it would have performed if it had even a decent small motor?

It's very brutal. In appearance and honestly, would probably not wanna fight the dude with it

"Even if you would create one of these in the real world, it would still be pretty similar." While holding one in the real world 😂❤❤ Keep it up, these may lead to a sponsor weapon creation from a video game in a year or two

It's amazing how you've never thought of wearing a helmet while using that thing. Edit: oh, never mind))

If it was a motorised version you could have a counter balance that would make it basically a weaponised hedge trimmer extremely dangerous to user

Tyranth: this is fucking dangerous. Ididathing: hold my apron, bro.

wouldn't the mechanical issues be easily solved with a gear shaft? like the diff in your car. straight shaft with gear on head that meshes with 90 degree turned gear on either end on rotating the wheel the other to crank...also makes it possible to switch between manual and powered i guess
