How to make a Snow Gun

How to make a mini snow gun from simple plumbing parts. If its cold and brown outside, its time to make your own snow. An air compressor and a garden hose are the only other things you need. If there's no wind it makes a 20ft tall cloud of snow

It takes some time to play around with the input valves but you can get it set just right
I set my air compressor to 80psi, it turns on every 2 min. with the gun running
the 2 3/32 holes don't have much output but seem the most efficient. 6 3/32 holes had tremendous output but occasionally some big drops. A 1/4" hole was also a bit too big

Parts:
1/2" tee
3x1/2" close nipple
3x 3/8" close nipple
1/2" to 3/8" reducer
1/2" to 3/8" reducer bushing
1/2" valve
1/2" to garden hose (+ a 1/2" brass close)
3/8" ball valve
3/8" to 1/4" reducer bushing
1/4" air compressor barb
short pieces of copper that fit in reducers
Teflon tape

Its fun to play around with!
Be careful, if you have it set wrong and spray water everywhere and make ice it could be dangerous. I'm sure there are other dangers too, don't be stupid.

Song: mitis- influential past
I know I already had snow, I built this when I didn't, than it snowed that night...
