hi there, I'm back to the site after awhile away, so if this isnt in the right forum im sorry, every year for my buddies Halloween pro wrestling shows i play Leatherface, complete with real chainsaw, with chain removed of course. in japan there was a wrestler named Leatherface that also used a real chainsaw, if you watch this video link
and
sorry for the language his chainsaw throws real sparks when revved, this is the effect I'm looking for, i just cant figure out how the rigged the saw to shoot sparks, my buddy thinks maybe a friction plate or something along those lines. the sparks are coming from the saw body not the blade, and in the video, there appears to be an extra handle of some sort on the body of the saw that he pulls to put friction on something in the saw causing the sparks, as there's only sparks at certain times and in the second pic with the saw there's a plate attached to where the bar bolts on, also there's a chain on that saw but it seems to be just for looks. I'm looking for any help i can get that leads to the effect being duplicated. preferably a step by step if possible. there looks to be a chain on the saw, but im not sure if that has anything to do with the sparks or not.
i was told supposedly he uses the same mechanism on different saws, as he cant take the saw through the airport when he travels for wrestling
Thanks in advance
