Hmm... Ok, now I'm hooked on designing a snow-maker. :)
Saw this post in the OT forum, I'm just wondering if anyone here is familar with snow-makers? I worked at a ski resort for a while, but never inspected the machines. But I have worked closely with nozzles.
What I'm curioius is - what temps and pressures are needed for snow to exist? I can design a nozzle to achieve temps, pressures, and a high enough velocity to maximize the volumetric flow rate of a garden hose, but am not quite sure what conditions snow will form under.
Hehe... Boy, do I need a job. Now that I just finished taking my final exam in my grad class, I have a month and a 1/2 until my next semester, and nothing to do except find a job. So, expect some cool projects such as this to develop
Don't worry, I'll try to design it out of hardware parts so anyone can make it<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/other/msgs/108559.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/other/msgs/108559.phtml</a</li></ul>

LOL! It needs to be 28 degrees. Then all you need is compressed air and mist to make snow. I've...
Done it before. I got a pressure washer and a BIG *** fan. It was like 20 degrees outside and I turned on the fan and simply sprayed the mist into the air blast. I didn't get alot of snow, but it did work.
