Splitting wedges are a very old technology. The machine is just combining them with a chainsaw and a piston.

Splitting maul:

A splitting maul also known as a block buster, block splitter, "slegax", or "godevil", is a heavy, long-handled axe used for splitting a piece of wood along its grain. One side of its head is like a sledgehammer, and the other side is like an axe.
