6556 – but what about chainsawing zombies?

A company has figured out a way to make a table (uh, circular, band, whatever saw recognize flesh and more importantly, stop cutting if it senses it.

So much for the bitter, angry shop class teacher with the wooden hand.

Granted, I would be too chicken to dare the thing, but the logic seems pretty sound. Saw listens to the electrical properties of what’s being cut (i.e. sends a charge out to the saw and registers what comes back). Wood doesn’t hold on to a charge but flesh does. (via str8bloggin)

addendum… of course, some psycho robot intelligence is going to reverse the process, only allowing humans to be pulped, while preserving handy wood resources.
