How about dropping a weenie onto the blade?


I'm not sure that would work. The weenie or hot dog would generate nothing
for the saw to sense and thus the saw wouldn't activate.

However, something like the sword swinging rig on Mythbusters with a hot
dog at the end and transmitting the appropriate input would be interesting.
How fast can the rig swing the hot dog before the saw either does
appreciable damage or fails to activate?
