Doesn't the snow machine rely on the frigid temperature of the air to turn the water mist to snow? But then you'd just need to add a refrigeration unit somewhere. ++ |

That's what I love about this site. I always learn something. I put a link up: "More than you've ever wanted to know about snow machines." |

Yes Doc, I believe a hot weather version would require some serious energy input to make snow out of water without getting any help from the ambient air temperature. It would definately be a LOT more expensive than a regular fountain to run. Doubt you'd get the green seal of approval. |

Still, I could see it being popular at a beach resort on a hot day. |

I think this is grand. I don't think it'd take
much energy - a gram of water would
make a lot of snow. However, I think the
flakes would melt before they'd got very
far, unless the air were already quite cool.

Hmm. That might be a pretty effect anyway, having snow come up and sprinkles come down. |

I think they had one of these in the movie _Toys_, which is one of my favorites. <Googling> Well, couldn't find it. |

I do remember, in real life, seeing a CO2 horn spraying flakes into the air--that could be modified to cool down water spray, maybe. |
