TRAPPING BODY FOR SNOW MAKING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To beat down snow perfectly and easily by a method wherein a twisted wire, such as a wire rope or the like, is employed as a trapping body to reduce the adhering area of snow. SOLUTION: In a device for falling artificial snow, a twisted wire, such as a wire rope or the like, is employed as a trapping body for trap, grow and drop artificial snow. In this case, a wire rope 1, having the diameter of 0.5 mm, a total length of 1 m and made of stainless steel, is employed to manufacture a trapping body unit 3, in which wire ropes are tensed properly by springs 2 and are arranged with an equal distance, while a fine wire for impressing static electricity is arranged at the position of 30 cm immediately above the trapping body unit 3 and the voltage of -25 KVDC is impressed to form an electric field. The room temperature of a snow making chamber is retained at -15 deg.C and water particles are supplied on the trapping body unit 3 through a 2-fluid nozzle, injecting water and air, to trap the water particles. In a case when a twisted wire, such as a wire rope or the like, is employed as the trapping body, the diameter (d) of the wire rope within the range of 0 mm
