l have been looking all over to find out how to make a snow machine. l really need to know where l can go to get a high powerd fan.

Good question. Last year on ebay there was stuff l think.

You either build your own fan out of a car or airplane engine, or you buy a snow making machine.

Another method is using pressurized air, if you can build a tank large enough and attach a big enough compressor.

You need two elements, pressurized air & water. l used to be a snowmaker in VT & it is really simple in concept. The snow guns would hook up the water lines that pumped a decent amount of water into the gun, which in turn was blown out through a smaller nozzle so it would spray more than just flow. Add into that the pressurized air & u r set to blow water higher into the air so it can freeze better. The finer the mist, the more powdery the snow. A small set up would need a pretty decent air compressor, that would be my first stop for a home made snow gun.

Why make one when you can buy one for the low, low price of $2400.

My brother made his first machine a few years ago and has been updating/perfecting it ever since. The key lies in the compressor, valves and water flow. He can now cover his entire back yard with several inches overnight.
