I want to watch how it seizes the cob and launches it at the end.

My great grandfather had one similar to this. My dumb ass brother stuck his hand in it and luckily didn't get more than a few minor scratches.

*hand*...

He was a little younger than that, and other people were around just not right there. If it were his "hand", there wouldn't have been any scratches

My eyesight isn't great and for at least a minute there I thought they were inserting corn and getting out hot dogs. Yeah. I need a new brain too.

If you look close there are little cleat-like spike/knobs moving when he turns the crank. They appear to be turning the cob as it moves down, but when the cob gets low enough, there is nothing holding it vertical anymore, so the spikes pull it out instead.

There’s a wheel with pins, spun by the crank.

As the wheel’s pins move to the left, it twists the corn against other pins on the inside of the cylinder, knocking off the kernels.

When the cob gets to the bottom, it’s caught by the pins moving to the right at the bottom of the wheel, and that drags the cob up and out of the device.

what prevents the empty cob from just dropping out? there are two in the bin, so maybe it isn't perfect (?)

2 days ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The diameter of the lower part is just big enough for a cob, so it’s pushed against the pins.

No, it’s not perfect, but it’s good enough to save most of the “picking out corn cobs” work.
