DIY Snow Machine - How to Make Snow

This video shows how to make snow with my DIY Snow Machine. This is something anyone can build given the right wet bulb temperature, and use to build a backyard ski and snowboard terrain park, or building a big sledding jump, etc. It works using a combination of compressed air and pressurized water to make a mist so fine that it is able to crystalize on its way down and turn into real snow.
There are several types of snow machines including internal and external mix, as well as fan guns that use the same theory but add a powerful fan to further assist in atomization or nucleation of the water particles.

I also go over the theory of snow making and how snowmaking works. This includes the science behind making snow, and the weather conditions required such as the Wet Bulb Temperature.
This video also goes over the equipment needed to make snow, such as the air compressor and pressure washer. They go over the exact specifications required for both tools on the plans via the first link above.
Building a snowmaker is a fun project that requires only a slight knowledge of working with tools and making things.

Very cool, Hans!

Where are you located? Do you know what the water temperature was going into the snowgun?
