Finally after much todo and many setbacks the Blower car has now been added to the roster.
Enjoy.

Now that’s wild…
Looks & runs great!
Wow nice job Todd.
Does it have a mulcher setting, too?
Looking good Todd!
Now you need to work on using a try pod to film it!!!
Nice work. You need to get a patent on that thing. You should add a heating unit to it. Then you can melt snow with it.
WOW, That just blows me away…
Thanks guys I’m glad you approve. I’m thinking it will blow powderery snow just as well or even better than leaves. The video is a bit shaky at the beginning but gets better toward the end.
Yesterday I put a 12volt 6ah closed cell battery in it so that should give me more consistant power over a longer span than the old 12 volt cordless drill battery I was using.

I did try the Rotary on leaves…
Leaves to stiff to go into shoot.Just pushed them along.
I know my rotary wouldn’t work on leaves but I bet this blower will work with snow. On occasion I have used a string of hopper cars to take leaves done back for dumping which is labor intensive but a excuse to run trains. Imagine a rotary mulcher with a conveyor to load the hoppers behind it? Such a beast would need to be gas powered and the mulching blades very sharp… I’m dreaming here. LOL
Nice add to the bottom; plow, can see it pushing twigs etc. out of the way.
Great build.
Thanks Bob, the plow is made from a PVC pipe. I should have dropped it just a bit because little twigs still get under it. I might put a piece of foam wweather stripping under there to help. I do the same on my Aristo plow and it works.
