There are many ways to keep critical appliances running during a power outage. Maybe a UPS for a computer, a set of solar panels to charge your phone, or even a generator to keep your refrigerator or air conditioning working. This modification to a standard blender will also let you ride through a power outage while still being able to make delicious beverages. It runs on gasoline.
The build uses an old chainsaw to power the blades of the blender. [Bob] was able to design and build an entirely new drivetrain to get this device to work, starting by removing the chainsaw chain and bar and attaching a sprocket to the main shaft of the motor. A chain connects it to a custom-made bracket holding part of an angle grinder, which supports the blender jar. Add in a chain guard for safety and you’ll have a blender with slightly more power than the average kitchen appliance.
The video of the build is worth watching, even if your boring, electric-powered blender suits your needs already. The shop that [Bob] works in has about every tool we could dream of, including welders, 3D printers, band saws, and even a CNC plasma cutter. It reminds us of [This Old Tony]’s shop.
This reminds me of the open headers Hemi engine I once saw mixing margaritas… where was that?

If the women don’t find you handsome…
Yes, it’s the same dude who did the chainsaw -> chopsaw mod recently. Looks like he’s on a roll with chainsaw mods.
Now he just needs to drop an i-Phone in there and he will have an internet sensation!

WILL IT BLEND?????????????
Yes It Will!
Old meme smoke. Don’t breathe this!
Chainsaws and Margaritas, what could go wrong?
Just for the two or three of you out there, that don’t know,
there is a commercial version.
(You know, the commenters who always point out a commercial version of someone’s hack)

The chainsaw is about the same noise level as the original motor, too!
Why are blenders so noisy, anyway? Does anyone make one that doesn’t require hearing protection?
I’m pretty sure noise is a required part of the process,
sononucleative sonombulist or something.
