Wow, a nuclear powered chipper! I've never seen one of them before.

It used to be nuclear, but in favor of enviromentalism, I converted it over to a new power source.

Inside the back of the truck is a big biofermentation tank (OK, it's a <i>still</i>). The chips get blown in there where they are enzymatically converted into ethyl alcohol. The vodka gets piped to the fuel tanks for the truck, and into a 5 gallon can for the chipper.

I get home at night with a full load of chips. In the morning, there is an empty chip bed, and my fuel tanks are full.

The nuclear version chipper had quite a bit more power (500 megatons more), but I had to go dump chips daily. It was a trade-off.
 
To all who don't know Jim, it will clear up a lot of things if you realize his grandfather on his mother's side was Mr. Haney, from Hooterville.
