Very easy and efficient by the look of it.

I am really impressed. Wonder where you could get a bit like that. Motor certainly looks like 220 volt, really cool idea!

I reckon the spindle for a grinder buffing attachment would do it to a point.
OTOH a larger diameter would be better.

I would be a bit afraid that the screw might catch on a twisted grain or a knot and start spinning. Could be a bit hard on the hands and fingers.
Maybe it could use, oh say, 4 to 6 inch guides to prevent the wood from spinning, but that might limit the diameter of the wood being fed into it.
Looks like the wood he is splitting is a bit old and [next to] rotten.

I was thinking a nice solid plate for wood to be sitting on would stop the twisting if splitting rings.

The screw seem to be quite low on the working surface
The surface would then prevent the wood to rotate.
You see the user reverse the wood that failed to split in the first run.

And it looks like it has a bar to keep the wood from spinning too.

Could wood get jammed up between the bit and that bar?
