  • Made a turbine powered blower, mainly to de-ice aircraft wings from frost, but it can be powered up significantly to blow leaves, snow, melt and dry ice on sidewalks, or blow a pack of rabid raccoons out of the yard.
    Its computer controlled, auto start and creates up to 52 pounds of thrust at full power. Ear plugs required.

      I get 3 days off every week but they're Wednesday Thursday and Friday, and when I get home I have like barely an hour and 15 minutes for myself because it's late as fuck and I have to be awake by 5:30. Shit gets super old. For me the worst part is the mental game of having Friday night be my "get ready for work night" while most people are going "fuck yeah time to relax" and going out with friends or staying up late.
      But the pay is good so I deal with it, for now at least. Looking for a different job until I can get back into the Army because this routine is making me pretty bitter.

    The new RTX 4090 TI cooler looks great. Surely a step up from the previous leaf blower. Now we just need to find a way to power it. My local power plant said they already have to power one of those cards and are at the limit. So i have to think of something else.

      Youre thinking of the nimbus 2000. But i think the firebolt has fixed some of the gyrostabilization that plagued previous moddles.

      tfw exhaust gases of a jet engine will be cooling the 4090

    This convinced me. I am the only one who would rent one for blowing snow? I mean the whole thing. The jet blower with the dude. I bet, you can throw back a tsunami with that thing. I see a lot of potential with it.

    Bro... It's impressive to see so much power come out of such a relatively small object. You could actually create a jetpack out of these parts.

      @@brendenpischke6060 I think it would rather be balance. Designing planes was never simple, it took many years and knowledge in fluid mechanics, and it still requires it’s pilots to have an extreme knowledge of the sky in order not to die because the wind was not blowing in the right direction or because they didn’t realize they were upside down when flying in a cloud.
