Title: Hand Powered Mulcher?

Greg and the Urban Farm team,

 

The Henry Double Day Research Association had a series on urban shredders and mulchers etc in the early 1990's, which included designs from various people.  I seem to remember that they published a book on the subject which may be available.

 

Can you find an old chaff cutter, one with a large, cast-iron, wheel which acts as a fly-wheel?  That is the closest and most effective machine which I have seen which can maybe suit your requirements.
