A snow conversion system for removal of snow from an access surface includes a mixing tank and a conveyor apparatus fluidly connected to the mixing tank for transferring the snow from the access surface into the mixing tank. The system also includes a fluid delivery arrangement for injecting a chemical agent into the mixing tank to combine the chemical agent with the transferred snow and thereby generate a solution of the melted snow and the chemical agent. The system additionally includes a mixer for agitating and mixing the snow and the injected chemical agent in the mixing tank to thereby further facilitate melting of the snow in the mixing tank. The system further includes a fluid nozzle in fluid communication with the mixing tank for dispensing the solution of the melted snow and the chemical agent onto the access surface to thereby provide de-icing and/or anti-icing of the access surface.

An ice elimination device for removing ice from a surface, which may be pulled or driven over a surface. The ice elimination device includes an ice elimination section that includes an applicator capable of distributing a flow of steam, hot water or both, a squeegee element capable to scrape liquid off of a surface, and one or more vacuum elements positioned to suction off liquid scraped by said squeegee. The ice elimination may include a surface drying section that includes a heater to apply heat to a portion of the surface and then utilizes a plurality of fans to generate an air flow that engages the heated portion of said surface. The combination of the heat and the fan evaporates all or most of any moisture on the surface after the squeegee and vacuum have collected and removed the melted ice, condensed steam, and/or applied hot water.

The Heat Wand is designed to speed up and ease the process and method for snow and ice removal. The Heat Wand couples a heating plate to a shaft that extends the heating plate from your hand to the ground. Powered by your household outlet through the Heat Wands' power supply cord. The innovative aspect of the Heat Wand is that the user does not have to exert any force to remove snow or ice as the Heat Wands' heating plate does all the work by melting them. The user also does not have to wait until the rock salt takes effect. This is achieved by connecting the power supply cord to the heating plates' terminals, conducting electricity through the heating plate creating heat dissipation in turn melting the snow and ice.

The vacuum heating snow melting blower (VHSMB) is the only product of its kind that provides an improved and novel device for snow management. The VHSMB is uniquely designed to be safe and easy to use catering to professionals and laymen, alike. The disclosure includes a vacuum component configured to suck snow from an adjacent floor surface, a heat component configured to heat the adjacent floor surface in arrears of the vacuum component and a blow component configured to blow the sucked snow from the snow removal apparatus, wherein a mechanism of the vacuum component configured to suck snow is also a mechanism of the blow component configured to blow the snow.

A modular heated surface system which can quickly be assembled from several pieces. The system can be designed to fit sidewalks and driveways of any size and includes durable surfaces for driving vehicles across the platforms. A drain assembly is included to ensure that the water produced from melted ice and snow is properly drained away from the heated surface. The system is powered by plugging the system into a standard 120V outlet.

A device for ice and snow utilization comprises a mobile platform with adjustably-expandable melting section. The melting section comprises a clean-melting enclosure and a dirt-melting gap. The clean-melting enclosure comprises a plurality of telescopically-movable sections. The dirt-melting gap is positioned below the clean-melting enclosure and is separated from the clean-melting enclosure by the floor. The melting section comprises a plurality of melting nozzles, configured to release a pressurized stream of melting liquid. Some of the melting nozzles are positioned in clean-melting enclosure and some are positioned below the floor, in the dirt-melting gap. At least some of the melting nozzles are movably and adjustably positioned by being connected to at least one of telescopically movable sections. The device further comprises a plurality of pipelines, valves, pumps, at least one heating element, a vacuum collector tank, and melting-liquid unloading tanks, configured for sequential unloading.

A snow and ice clearing vehicle. The vehicle provides a combination of systems configured to facilitate the clearance and removal of snow and ice from roadways and sidewalks. The vehicle includes a snow clearing device, a heating system, and a suction system in communication with a reservoir. The snow clearing device is positioned on the front of the vehicle, wherein the heating system is positioned posterior to the snow clearing device and configured to apply heat to snow and ice not completely cleared by same. The suction system is positioned posterior to the heating system and configured to vacuum snow melted and loosened by the heating system. The reservoir is configured to retain water and snow captured by the suction system. The vehicle further includes a pump, wherein the pump is configured to remove the water from the reservoir through an outlet to an area remote from the vehicle.
