Almost Summer

For many people summer is already here, however in more northern areas, like the one I'm in it has not completely arrived. Fortunately the summer is a good time for making snowguns, I'm sure I have some people who are reading this and thinking what would a snowgun be good for in the summer, or even those people who are saying "what's a snowgun?"

A snowgun is a device which turns water into snow using some special nozzles and some compressed air. Unfortunately a snowgun only works in cold temperatures, starting around 3C (40F), and going down to about -25C (at that point even fast moving water has a very hard time saying as a liquid, which can cause the hoses to freeze up.)

To answer the second question, "why is summer a time for snowguns?" is very simple, it's easy to see that in the summer the temperatures are above freezing, which is good for testing snowguns, because when you know you are going to get wet, it's also nice to know that it's not going to freeze to your hair and clothing while you are doing it. This saves getting wet in the winter when it will freeze to your hair or clothes.

I have been working with snowguns for the past seven years (quite awhile, I know), and have recently decided that it would be a good idea to let the rest of the world in on my ideas. You can find how to build your own snowgun at my website http://www.makesnow.net/ .

First Sale on the New Website

The site had it's first sale earlier this week, justifying it's existance only a few short days after being created, what a world we live in. The site is located at www.makesnow.net and it tells you just that, how to make snow, at home, at work, it doesn't really matter the principles are the same, just how much snow you make might be the difference. On the site you will find the guide as well as parts which you will need to make the snowgun.

New domain, yes it's true!

I finally sprung for the domain name, fairly affordable, I purchased it through lycos, and so the site is now located at www.makesnow.net , it's very easy to remember, and while it's not a 'dot com' name the 'dot com' name is for a commercial company, which means they may someday offer to buy this .net name.

Until then www.makesnow.net will replace www.geocities.com/make.snow as the homepage for my small business, and it will help to serve my customers in the future (and maybe increase my crawl rate :D)

In the heat of the summer

Well, it's nearly here, yes summer is just around the corrner. The blistering heat, hitting over 30 Celcius every day, or over 90F for those using Farenheit still. Can you believe that you could still ski or snowboard at whistler until July 29th?!?!?! What if you could do that in your own backyard? This is incredibly unpractical as it would require tons upon tons of snow to be made, but hey, it's fun to think of what could be possible. I've made snow before that's lasted into April before, but never into July (Still working on that one, maybe next year...) . I great place for plans on building your own snowgun, just like the ski hills (and mega resorts) is my site www.geocities.com/make.snow . In future it will contain all the parts you need to build the snowgun as well, however I am still working with manufacturers to see about getting it all sorted out, but when it is they will be located on the parts page.
