Our country is rich in talented people and inventive designers. Fortunately, their number today is not decreasing, but, on the contrary, increasing, since new information technologies and the Internet allow the exchange of experience between many inventors who post their drawings on the World Wide Web. A useful device that can provide significant assistance in cleaning snow is a machine for cleaning it, and almost everyone can make a snow blower with their own hands. To do this, you just need to know the principle of its operation, as well as select the most suitable parts for its device.
So, usually the inventors of this useful device use the “Blizzard” type snow blower as the basis, which was made at the design bureau of Penza about 15 years ago. Such a snow blower with his own hands has a fairly simple device, so it can be made in almost any workshop. To do this, we need a TV-7 lathe, a welding machine, as well as 3 mm thick sheet metal waste. Here, the D-6 engine acts as the main power unit , to which a muffler is attached, a throttle control cable, and also a fuel tank. Torque is transmitted through the chain through an asterisk Z = 20, which is mounted on the rotor shaft. The rotor itself can be machined on a lathe yourself, or you can order it at the factory. The rotating shaft is fixed in the housing using four ball bearings, which are fixed with a clamping ring, as well as M8 bolts on the rotor housing itself. As a result, the snow blower with our own hands will turn out to be quite strong and resistant to mechanical stress.
It should be noted that almost all devices made independently are much more durable than those purchased in a store. The fact is that when you design a device with your own hands, then all the fastenings are made in good faith, so it lasts much longer. It is for this reason that homemade snow blowers were widely used in the villages of the northern regions of our country. With the help of such a device in half an hour it is possible to completely clear the yard with an area of 250-300 square meters from snow. However, despite the cold season, in which the snow blower is used, a cooling system must be provided for the engine of the device. It is best to use a fan that will successfully cope with the task.
In general, a do-it-yourself snow blower is a simple structure, where a welded structure is used as a frame, inside which a rotary engine is fixed . In the lower part there are special skis, on the edges of which small impeller wheels are installed. Due to them, the snow thrower moves in the right direction. A special blade shaft is installed in front, during operation of which the snow is thrown to the side, and a continuous carpet path appears in front.
Thus, we can conclude that such a device is quite within the power of creating almost every owner. We now know how to make a snow blower with our own hands, so we can only buy all the necessary components and get to work. In conclusion, it should be said that this type of unit weighs only 18 kg, and its operational characteristics have proven themselves exclusively from the best side. By constructing such a useful device, you can be sure that no snowfall is a hindrance to you anymore. A powerful snow blower will be an excellent helper in the winter, greatly facilitating the work of clearing snow in the yard.
