Thread: Halloween Tech Makes SNOW

Tweet

Okay, so many or most of you live where you have snow every winter. Here, we get it once every decade. We had a few cold nights last week so I decided to build a snow gun from parts in my Mad Lab.

Next year, I am going to upgrade it to a 3-nozzle oscillating setup using my big ole' pressure washer and a bigger air compressor.

My setup for this was simply some 1/4" fittings, a couple valves and a garden hose connector. Set the air to match the water pressure, and bam... you are making snow. (there's more to it, obviously, but that's the quick version).

I modified it from this version slightly by putting on a 40 degree pressure washer nozzle. I also moved the regulator back to the compressor to keep it from freezing.


This is what it made with about 4-6 hours of work. A pressure washer/3 nozzle setup would have made a giant pile.

So, I have a new hobby for the 6 nights per year we get that are cold enough to make snow. ;-)

WoW!!!! that's a great idea!!!!!!!!! I live where we get up to 7 feet in a single winter so I can see where that would be something really cool for the kids......Man me and the boyz would use that on the hill in my back yard to make ramps and perfect vert boxes great idea man.......
