Homemade snow machine

[1HVACOWNER]

All you guys up north in the snow belt probably could not care less about this, But here in North Carolina we do not get alot of snow, So I figured out to make a snow machine out of galv pipe 1 oil nozz, and 2 natural gas orfices (Modded) out of a gas pack aldng with a pressure washer and a air compressor. Took alot of trial & error. But it made enough snow in three hours for the kids to go sleading the next morning. A good temp is 27* or below. I guess this is my hobby when im slow haha.. (I also made a hydrogen generator for the heck of it, just to see if I could... And it made fire!) ohhh Im board.

Agreed.

But it's still cool.

a couple of thousand more of those things, and you could open yourself a ski slope right there in Lillington. You'd probably make a ton of money, it seems like everybody I meet wants to see snow.

I wouldn't complain about a ski slope in my front yard. Well done!!

I have thought of that,,, Right now I am into Blacksmithing with my 13 year old son (his idea). I built a coal forge and a RR track Anvil for him to get started with.. It keeps him off the Xbox, so im happy. He says he likes using his imagination.

You can actually make a forge with one...I helped a guy at work figure out how to make/control a gasifier. Pretty neat stuff.

If the fit ever hits the shan its a nice thing to know.

where on earth do you buy coal retail weight these days?

There is a town (wendell NC) that has a old farm supply store there and they still get a few train loads of coal per year from W. Virginia. I had to search to find a supplier. Looks like the place has been there since the 1920s. They sell it either by the truckload or by 50lb bags.

Curt Kinder in n fla. hooks up the discharge on his open loop geo, tweaks the flow to get the temp right, and lets it fly through a commercial snow nozzle he got on e-pay to keep the kids in his hood happy when the temps get close.

I would love to hear details of the snow maker and maybe some vids.
