Re: [papercreters] Mixing blade idea



I have been considering a chain flail for shredding paper. This looks like it might work for mixing papercrete. For more viscous liquids it appears to mostly mix in one spot, requiring movement of the chain around the edges of the bucket and throughout the mix. It may be more suitable for a hand held mixing method like the drill he is using in the video. Maybe this wouldn't beat you to death like a rigid blade attached to a drill. I think I saw a piece of threaded rod a couple of days ago, and I have some pieces of chain. No promises, but I think I feel a test coming on.

Although I said blade, it is not a blade, it is a chain. I believe this
design could be enlarged somewhat to use with a lawn mower type motor or
an electric motor. It's selling point it that it doesn't have to start
under stress, which means less work for the motor to get it up to speed.
I believe the length could be increased to 6" on each side of the shaft
for an overall length of 12".
