Jeff,
I am interested in your efforts. How can I be of assistance? I live
in central Illinois, but will be gone all of January with trips to
Africa and then to the ETHOS stove meeting in Seattle.
When we have something working satisfactorily, I can have it replicated
in several countries where we want such fuel processing for TLUD stoves.

Hi Jeff and Paul,
It's been a few years since I assembled this concept guillotine
design into a drawing, and I emphasis concept. It was to show a
principle of slicing the fibres as the force of the blade was applied
with as much rotation of the blade possible. How the dimensions are
determined can be proven using a cardboard mock-up and leaves plenty
of room for innovation relating to the features you mention.
These are the things that I would explore with this concept:
1. The angle of the ground blade, and which direction the angle/s
should face the stick to prevent shattering (unless you need this
factor).
2. The angle of the blade support plates.
3. The blade diameter.
4. Addition of a bottom blade, possibly to facilitate cutting angles.
5. Blade can be mild steel with welded hard facing, like the Screw
Auger Laimet chipper.

As a project, nobody has reported back to me that they have tried to
make one, and I have not the time myself to iron out any wrinkles. I
will however discuss it today with a mate who might be interested in
pottering around to keep his hands busy. Unlike building a gasifier,
many on our forums will have plenty of ability to knock it into a
working design as an interesting practical project.
I suggest the floor is open to all so we can fatten out the potential
details.
Doug Williams,
Fluidyne.
