For the purpose of manufacturing snow, we use low-pressure mobile snowmakers commonly called “snow cannons.” These snow cannons are essentially equipped with an air compressor and a powerful turbine fan. The integrated fan blows the surrounding air through a large tube. At the end of the tube, water is vaporised under pressure through fine nozzles into the flow of air and carried a distance of 20 to 45 meters in altitude, during which the water freezes into crystals and snow flakes, and falls to the ground. 7, record 1, English, - snow%20cannon

À des fins de fabrication ou de production, nous utilisons des enneigeurs mobiles à basse pression appelés communément «canons à neige». Ces enneigeurs sont équipés essentiellement d’un compresseur à air et d’un puissant ventilateur installé sous forme de turbine. Le ventilateur intégré souffle de l'air environnant dans un grand tube. À la fin du tube, de l'eau est vaporisée sous pression au travers de fins gicleurs dans le flux d’air et transportée ainsi sur une distance de 20 à 45 m en altitude, avant que l'eau gelée se cristallise en flocons de neige et tombe sur le sol. 4, record 1, French, - canon%20%C3%A0%20neige

The in roof Fan changes air in the roof space between 50 and 70 times per hour, too fast for heat to build up much beyond the outside temperature. You would need 30 or more whirly type wind turbines and a strong breeze to achieve this rate of airflow. ... Existing "whirly birds" can be incorporated as part of the exhaust system but have to be supplemented with additional vents as their free air area is far too small. 2, record 3, English, - whirly
