Homemade "KINETIC" Log Splitter - BUILD

TEST and explanation ⏩ https://youtu.be/KLV9oMWb9dg
As a splitter drive, we used a 2.2 kw / 3hp geared motor, which reduced the gear speed to 20 rpm. I bought it online.
I welded some elements with the MMA method, i.e. the electrode because the welds made with this method are stronger. Yes I know. They do not look good :)
I used the M4 toothed rack (40x40mm) and M4 18-tooth gears.
I didn't show how to connect electrics and power supply because I'm not an electrician and I'm not sure if I connected it right.

In the electrical box I put:
- differential circuit breaker
- overload breaker
- contactor 380V 24V
- 24v power supply
- right / left switch
- 230 V socket
- 380 V socket

In the control panel:
- on button
- off button
- emergency button

What happens if the wood is too hard? Nothing. The overload fuse will cut off the current to the motor.

The whole weighs about 250 - 300 kg.

The machines I did in the earlier videos helped me a lot in building this construction:
