[AT] Snow Blower

[Alan Nadeau]

No idea who made it.

That's actually a poor concept of a two-stage machine.  There is that little 
propeller looking thing at the point of the "V" to feed snow into the 
impeller.   I've never thought much of that design, it takes a bunch of 
power to stuff the snow between the gathering wings.  That requires a bunch 
of traction to provide the needed push.  In addition, if you're dealing with 
sticky snow it tends to jam into the tapered wings instead of sliding 
smoothly.  Maybe in dry, fluffy, snow it would work after a fashion but, 
overall I think the design is just an invitation for Murphy to come visit.
