The workings of the Guillotine

Schon eine böse Maschine LG aus Calvörde

[pentogram23]

I guess I am old fashioned....I like the long drop of the blade ...hello

[MultiRich999]

@pentogram23 me too pentogram long drop a few qualify for that these days

[Bullwhipmaster]

This is the german "Fallbeil" (Drop Axe) or "Fallschwertmaschine" (Drop Sword Machine), the type is the Bavarian Model of 1854. In Germany, especially during the Third Reich, is was not usual to use the word "Guillotine". This model has a drop height of only 1,5 Meters, the french models of 1792 and 1870 had drop heights from 3,7 to 4,5 Meters. The german model 1854 was completely made of steel, the french models of oak, only the blade, the rails for the blade and some parts were made of steel

i want to pull the handle dam it :(

[tapdancegirl88]

i hate french frogs

[blam35]

does anyone know wots the name of dat piano track please ?

thx in advance : )

[pentogram23]

it looks like it has a small-drop?I thought the blade had to fall from along height to be effective...?????

[DocsOnline]

@pentogram23 Interesting remark, I hadn't noticed. But indeed you may be right. We'll do some research and will let you know.

[MultiRich999]

@pentogram23 yes it does usually but half as high good if blade is heavier think pervs should get that

[pentogram23]

@MultiRich999 your calling for a close shave....

[ProbertFire]

@pentogram23 I would think if the blade is heavy enough (they were usually weighted at the top) and sharp enough, and the inside grooves of the frame well oiled, then that blade would come down with some pretty intense force for even 3 feet. The way the blade is machined at the angle helps greatly too. I had read somewhere that the weight of the blade was around 70-80 pounds. That's a lot of energy falling from even 3 feet.

@pentogram23 In fact it's a very small example of this machine, but it was constructed to be used inside cellar rooms. It works as effectively as a high Guillotine because the knife 's got a weight of 80 kg. A second one of this sort you can see at Vienna Criminal Museum. I'd be happy to wellcome you there.

[starwarsraul13]

@pentogram23 the blade weighs 160 lbs. so it be from 3ft above your head.

[MouYijian]

@pentogram23 The German Fallbeil features a heavier and thicker blade than its French counterpart does; besides, what can be considered the 'canvas' of the blade, called 'mouton' in French, is entirely made of steel and it is much more massive. Thus, a shorter drop should be enough to sever the neck 'swift and quick'. Finally, even if the neck were not cut through, the spinal cord and the main blood vessels would be severed anyway, causing the offender's instant death, which is what matters.

[KaitainCPS]

@pentogram23

The German machine's blade is extremely heavy. That makes the difference. Same potential energy despite lower starting point.

[muzfakil]

@pentogram23 either way it would still be effective? may not offer complete decapitation but anything that severs the spinal cord is instant death

[spotswood4444]

@pentogram23 The reason for this is because it is a German Fallbiel, which is a much newer machine than the French style of Guillotine, this machine would have been used around 1944. The old style French machines were 4 metres tall. The way that the drop is reduced is by greatly increasing the weight of the Muton (this is the wooden block that the blade is connected to).

[Highlander01]

@pentogram23 Yes, but remember, the blade is weighted by the mouton, and the blade is very heavy so it would probably cut through a neck with ease, even from such a short height.

[stefanorso]

@pentogram23 The reason is simple: you've got to get a certain amount of kinetic energy, enought to cut the neck of the victim (a very gruesome end...).

The formula is.

K=W·H (K=kinetik energy, W: weight of the falling blade; H: height).

So, the same quantity of energy of a 65 lbs blade falling from a height of 10 feet can be met by a 130 lbs blade falling from a height of 5. Hello!

[MultiRich999]

@pentogram23 depends on how weighty the blade is want to try it out

[oldstock1607]

@pentogram23 the blade and beam that carries it is pretty heavy. This combined with the angle of the blade will cut some shit.

[thunderpantza]

yes a guillotine is extremely complicated...centuries of engineering....

[blazerpat32]

i think head in german means munf

munf munf

[tonylast47]

This is not the French guillotine, but the German version.

[NatashaFatale59]

@tonylast47

The German machine is called a "Fallbeil" (pronnounced "Fall-byle")

[sunshineavenue79]

too bad they don't bring it back for execution and go back to king and qween ruleing.

[psstheyyou]

The guillotine is not a death machine but a grooming tool. It depends in whose hands it is placed.

Let me explain.

I am a barber. I used this wonderful machine in my shop for over 20 years. If a customer asked for a short back and sides I put down my scissors and unveiled my guillotine. But only after locking the shop.

Obviously.

I never had a customer who complained about his short back and sides.

And I never used the guillotine if there was more than one customer in the shop.

Obviously.

[silkykimono]

@psstheyyou Can you book me in for a short back and sides??

[psstheyyou]

If you have any questions regarding this wonderful invention, dont hesitate to ask. But do hurry as my free time is of utmost importance. My address is Death Row.

And please dont be upset if you fail to receive a reply. I might be half way through writing to you when they come to drag me from my cell and frog march me to Old Sparky.

Do I have any regrets?

Only one Im sad to say. There is no guillotine in this godforsaken place.

Such is life.

And death.

Toodle pip!

[Sorroque]

Moral Magic.

Through Moral magic there is Posterity magic, through Posterity magic there is Government magic, through Government magic there is Nation magic.

How it works; Infancide, Feticide, and Piracy is a "Magical" death penalty offence, death by decapitation, "Moral" Law and Order.

To bring up the details of Moral Law in an established government court is ALSO a magical death penalty offence, "Treason" , because that in turn insults the Nation.

Interesting yah?

[Sorroque]

So, what ever happened to the american guilitine?

The Testor Guilitine used up until 1898.

From a Law Book of that era it was stopped, after a 3rd. innocent victim.

Once a town in the state of New Jersey, "Testor".

It was a *Saint Dennis whom walked about in a decapitated state, PSI Expierience, and, Dejevu Magic.

It was a Saint Catherine who thought she had concieved Jesus Christ. Upon her death she was decapitated. The tersergiving Spanish Catholic had founded Florida "in the spirit of *"

[yuchoobstalker]

van der Lubbe was framed...what a fuckin gutless disgrace it was using a mentally challenged man to pin for a nazi crime perpetrated for political gain..

[pentogram23]

@yuchoobstalker I think the poor guy was only 19 or 20 years old...a kid..........those bastards...!!!

[Navyseal925]

very nice

[BadJohnny1965]

Yes tis full size, German Guillotine had a short drop, much heavier blade.

[TheGuillotineBlade]

Great video, I love The Guillotine.

[Zoloft61]

how can anyone "love" the guillotine? it  turns my stomach

[TheGuillotineBlade]

There are far more barbaric methods of execution.

In Saudi Ariba they stone women to death and men are gorerotted.

[myowntruth1]

yeah that is true, but it doesnt stop this from being barbaric.... your sick in the head 'TheGuilontineBlade' you fucking freak

[TheGuillotineBlade]

@myowntruth1 What the fuck did you say to me ?

[myowntruth1]

if you can write, you can read.... douche bag!!! or did a guillotine chop ur dick off? hahaha u cock

[Adamalgorithm]

it is sick, I do not know why I am watching this; it is macabre, yet curiosity is also present; humans have a dark reptilian side

[1981z28camaro]

@Adamalgorithm yeah, I know what you mean, the curiosity of it makes you feel like you have issues or something, lol it's something that really bothers me, but is also intriguing to me.. IE: How long a person is alive afterwards, it must be horrible, tho you may not actually feel anything since you would go into the deepest level of shock, and your brain turns off your pain receptors (survival mechanism to allow you to live through pain) tho in this case there would be no "living" afterwards

[Drakken682]

Was the last intervenant Johan Reichhart?

[hellren61]

this is a german guillotine. called a "fallbeil", it means falling axe. it was VERY effective.

[karlvdl3]

my great great something did this

[hardrockcoco]

It's not a full size scale. Largest model of one that i've seen.

[ozzirt]

That is the actual Guillotine used on Van Der Lubbe, (who was framed for burning the Reichstag) it is of different construction to the French variety because it was installed in a room with a relatively low ceiling.

[magicaxeman]

First one ive seen
