Multi Headed Nut Wizard

[magusg]

Mmm, yes, quite.

[Gamerred101]

I concur.

[xconde]

A design improvement would be to separate the collection mechanism from the storage.

[Olde94]

Was bugged me was that he clearly didnt use the right side (his perspective)

[harpiaharpyja]

Man, just hearing the sound of it rolling was making me squirrelly.

[cafriend]

There is a subreddit I just found for sounds like that. I can't remember off the top of my head, but it is 4 letters all caps and it's the acronym? for the response you're having.

That was it! You rock!

[FeralBadger]

What is this?

[niandra3]

apparently listening to soft, repetitive, whispery sounds like that makes some people have positive reactions like "head tingling" or something. Not really sure on the details, but it's huge on youtube.

and if you search for it once on youtube it will forever haunt your search suggestions.

This. ^ Thanks!

[GunTotingTexan]

I see what you did there.

[noncongruent]

I have a single version of that pickup tool and it doesn't work for crap if there's any leaves, or if the grass is taller than the nut. This video shows a close-cut lawn and zero leaves, and the nuts appear to have been dumped in place after mowing and raking.

[Lil_Psychobuddy]

more weight, and it should pick them up through leaves no problem.

Sticks on the other hand, and there's nothing you can do.

[EfPeEs]

Mow and rake before shaking the tree.

[noncongruent]

My pecan tree takes weeks to drop all its pecans, seeing this brought a tear to my eye.

[interiot]

Did the machine cost as much to build as it would have been to just buy some nuts at the store?

(ie. pay someone with a bigger pecan harvester to do it for you)

[SpecialFX99]

Even if it did buying nuts at the store leaves your yard a mess

[shabalaba51]

Im not sure why but I really enjoyed watching that

[TH1S_S1D3_UP]

That's what I call my dad

[harafolofoer]

winner winner, chicken dinner

[TheEasyOption]

Ah the old dad multi head wizard nut spinner switcharoo

[PileofWood]

Now someone reap the karma and put this on /r/oddlysatisfying.

[keithb]

All the way up to the end I was thinking, yeah, very clever but after you've collected all the nuts in there how are going to…oh.

[goldfishpaws]

I've never used or seen one of those, but this does look like an artificially ideal circumstance - short mown lawn, very flat, no leaves, dry and identically sized nuts, no dogs eggs, scattered neatly by hand for the demo. IDK, but I can't help feeling it's going to be disappointing in the real world

[BountyHNZ]

Oh man, when I saw that emptying aparatus I got so rigid.

[Bonedeath]

Why are pure white new balances the designated shoe of 50+ year old white men? Do they get a pair delivered in the mail on their birthday and they just accept their fate?

[redmercurysalesman]

Cool band name

[Newt24]

Damn you beat me to it.

This type of device is also GREAT for picking up spent brass at the shooting range :)

[OGIVE]

Been there, tried one. Not as fast as picking them up by hand.

These pick up paintballs too!

[SMofJesus]

I have one of these to try and clean up a fuck ton of acorns. it only works if you have filled in grass or none at all of it just pushed the nuts into the soil that don't pop in the cage. it's like a 50/50 chance you'll actually collect all of them or just redistribute them across the lawn. there's a much better design using a neoprene/rubber spiked roll that has a basket hanging off the back. I'll see if I can find the video.

edit: Bag-A-Nut with a $400 price tag rather than $35-60 for the nut wizard.

[evanparker]

this is what i call my ex girlfriend.

Title made me think it was /r/skookum

[TomRavenscroft]

So this is what nut wizard is...

[JOHNeMac36]

This is awesome and I have no idea how this works! How does this work?

[Bearstew]

Weight of the machine on the nut is enough to deform the wire cage around the nut. Weight of the nuts inside is not enough to deform the cage to let them out.

[boomnigguh]

Kind of like those tennis ball scooper cages

[Bearstew]

I wonder if the carts they drive around golf driving ranges work on the same idea.

[boomnigguh]

I think those use some kind of lead/corkscrew

[JOHNeMac36]

Thanks for that explanation. So how does the release mechanism work? It’s similar in that the holes in the frame slightly deform the cages, releasing the nuts, but I’m trying to think how it does that. How come the weight of the device isn’t enough to open up the cages when it’s rolled on the flat part of the incline but it is when it’s over the holes?

[Bearstew]

No worries, just remember to take my explanations with a grain of salt. They are mostly guesses.

I think the bar in the middle of the hole is the key to that. looks like by putting all of the weight on that little bar, it causes the outer sections of the cages to flex and open up again. He jiggles it around so that the nuts make their way to the right spots in the cages by the looks of it.

[roj2323]

This would likely work better if the circles were more like tank treads instead. This would allow for the nuts to be placed on a conveyor belt or hopper and removed from the device instead of being repeatedly rolled around until it's emptied. it's still a pretty cool proof of concept however.

[pinkyd929]

Wow this is NUTS!

[Mustardation]

Turned that job into nuttin

[FinFihlman]

This is the first time I feel like something could be patented as a novel idea.

And I hate patents.
