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!

HI Sean, What did you use to control the speed ?

Don’t know…part of Dan Magic!

Working on the answer.

Some type of rheostat…

That’s OK, I didn’t mind watching it again…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Although I do remember watching one that was an hour long, but can’t seem to find that one.
