A snow making apparatus includes a cylindrical body and a snow making nozzle that jets water droplets into the cylindrical body. The cylindrical body has a proximal end that is opened to a temperature environment where snow can be produced from water droplets jetted from the snow making nozzle. A distal end of the cylindrical body is connected to a pipe member communicating with a test chamber. The snow making nozzle is formed of a two-fluid nozzle. The pipe member communicates with a snowfall hood disposed in the test chamber and having a supply opening that allows snow to fall. The cylindrical body is disposed in an oblique posture so as to be lowered from a proximal end toward a distal end of the cylindrical body.

The invention relates to an electrically conductive film (10) having an electrically nonconductive substrate layer (12), and an electrically conductive metal layer (14) that has a structure produced by material removal and that on a first side is joined, at least in sections, to the substrate layer (12).

A method for building an ice structure includes making a plurality of ice logs or ice beams and attaching the ice logs together to form a support structure. The support structure may be two or more stories high and may be constructed by freezing the ice logs or ice beams together.

Apparatuses for forming blocks of compactable material such as snow, having a hollow upper body with a compression chamber within for containing and subsequently compressing the compactable material to form a block that can be used in connection with recreational activities. A lower body having a flat compression plate attached to a top end, is configured to slide within the compression chamber, the compression plate being capable of pushing the compactable material into a hinged lid that is attached to a top end of the upper body and acts to cover a top opening of the upper body. Ferromagnetic materials attached to the underside of the compression plate are configured to contact other ferromagnetic materials attached to the interior walls of the compression chamber, which at least temporarily arrests sliding movement of the upper and lower bodies, and allows a user to fill the apparatus with compactable material.

A method and apparatus is described that makes wet snow from ice-slurry. The method and apparatus described further delivers wet snow as produced onto the surface and into the cavities of perishable products, such as animal carcasses, where it adheres and melts slowly, thereby resulting in rapid cooling and in case of food products, leading to improved quality and shelf life of the food. The method and apparatus described can also be used to separate ice and liquid from ice-slurry made of wastewater.
