ABSTRACT:
A snow gun for making snow by atomizing water and projecting the atomized water by compressed air into an atmosphere having an ambient temperature below about 32 degrees F. has a one piece body member with a first water opening through one side and ending within the body member. A pair of second water openings extend through the opposite side of the body member and are in communication with the first water opening. Water outlet ports extend from the pair of second water openings and at an angle and through the front of the body member. An air opening extends through one side of the body member and terminates within the body member. Air outlet ports extend from the air opening through the front of the body member adjacent and between the water outlet ports. A pattern plate is attached to the front of the body member and has a slot in communication with the air and water outlet ports. Clean out plugs close the pair of second water openings at the side of the body member. Water is introduced to the body member at the first water opening and leaves the body member at the water outlet ports. Compressed air is introduced to the body member and leaves the body member at the air outlet ports. The compressed air atomizes the water and projects it through the pattern plate into the atmosphere to form snow.
