Building your own Snowmaker (Mock-up)

This is a small scale (proof of concept) snowmaker that you can build yourself from galvanized steel fixtures. I bought everything you see in this video from Lowes Home Improvement warehouse. This model produces tiny amounts of snow in ideal conditions, however you can visit snowathome.com and build larger and more complex models on your own. You will need a water supply from a garden hose and an air compressor capable of 90PSI and 3.0CFM.

This video instructs the mock-up assembly of this snow maker model. Before you attempt to pressurize the snow maker, Teflon tape should be applied to the threaded pipes. As with any pressurized instrument, use caution when operating. Use at your own risk!!!

@tbuwatcher Not sure. this is just a waste of time it will take 24 hours to get like 3 inches of snow in not even a foot circle lol

Easy to make. You will need:

1. High air pressure machine

2. Water

3. Pipes (2) that can connect to each other making them meet at the end combing the water/air.

When the temperature is 28 or lower, make that snow!

I think this will work flawlessly to produce foam for washing cars, just using one more connector to add soap to the water before it mixes with the compressed air. Do you think this will work??

@jessebranstetterbmx i made this one last year and if you let it run for a day or so then you can make a fair amount of snow.
