@hydtools: Thank you for your input. The blower requires the same maintenance as other blowers, and has the same performance as other blowers in terms of snow clearance (it was developed in Austria).
@MikeHalloran: drive power is reduced because friction is greatly reduced.
Dear fellow engineers,
I am the inventor of a rotary chopper wheel for snowblowers and am looking for guidance on how to find licensees. What makes the invention interesting is that it requires much less energy to operate because of reduced friction and lower drive output.
