I don't know... have you ever tried to finish a chicken(death blow, slit troat)?
Early this year I attempted to build a guiloteen with a thick machette and an x shaped frame that forced the neck and head into a rather compromising position...It failed badly and I feel horrible...
The feathers on young chickens necks are extremely strong and the device rather pinched the head off between the feathers insteadc of cutting through the feathers and severing the neck cleanly.
I have been thinking about this alot.
A long pointed spire-spike aimed at the birds thorum magnum(the vertebrea where the skull attaches to the neck) would probably be sharp enough to penetrate the feathers and skin and still be able to finish the job.
I have an idea for an arduino project to build a sensor driven targeting mechanism that drives the sharpened spike through the thorum magnum of a trussed bird... What kind of sensor(s) would be the best to find the sweet spot of the kill point on the focusing device?
