ABSTRACT:
Snow is produced by supplying water to the blades of a rotating fan. The blades are arranged in a plurality of sets of different length blades, each set having a relatively short blade, an intermediate length blade, and a relatively long blade. The quantities of water supplied to the blades and the speed of rotation of the fan are such that water spreads in a film over each blade toward its trailing edge and toward its tip. A proportion of the water discharged from each blade is atomized and entrained in the aerosol produced by rotation of the fan blades, whereas another proportion of the water discharged from each blade is cascaded in a vortex from one blade to the next following blade. The relative lengths of the blades are such that water cascaded from the tip of the longest blade in a leading set of blades impinges directly onto the longest blade of the immediately following set of blades.
