Many of the electrically powered model Rotary snow throwers seem to run at warp speed. Would they throw as well or better geared down to a more sedate and applying some torque to the problem?
I am not sure that steamer, unless really uber powerful, could manage any but the lightest, most powdery snow anyhow.
Eric and Todd, this is why I really like what Rick Isard is doing with his Rotary project. http://www.largescalecentral.com/forums/topic/23043/something-i-ve-been-working-on
It seams like it will always have ample power to muscle through wet snow and has multiple speeds. I’m really looking forward to seeing it at ECLSTS.
I added speed control to the rotary…
I can turn the knob to increase or decrease…the speed of the blade!(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

I also have the option to revers the rotation of the blade!
